This paper puts forward a developed scheme against the deficiencies of the out-of-step protection based on the three-impedance element principle, which is widely applied at present. Compared with the original scheme, the developed scheme can predict the out-of-step caused by steady stability disruption or transient instability by using the least square method in advance and monitor the limit of steady stability. So the performance of the out of step protection is improved. The paper gives the whole developed protection scheme. The results of dynamic simulation experiments verify the scheme.

By analyzing the sensitivity and its influencing factors of stator earth-fault protection by injecting a 20 Hz signal, this paper puts forward an improved generator protection scheme based on the impedance angle and its mutation component. The simulation results verify this kind of protection scheme has higher reliability and sensitivity under generator neutral grounding through a distribution transformer with a secondary resistor and arc-extinguishing coil compared with the conventional criterion. Against different grounding modes, the sensitivity of the protection scheme is further improved by correspondingly adjusting the frequency of the injected signal.
