Function of DSP in Relay Protection
Various DSP techniques such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Wavelet Transform along with Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can be used to detect spurious signals and faults. Implementation of an overcurrent relay with Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT). The overcurrent protection is chosen since it is used as a major protection in the distribution systems. Advancements in digital technology have allowed relay manufacturers to include more and more relay functions within a single hardware platform. This means that signals from transducers are sampled at fixed time intervals, digitally encoded, and processed by equipment which resembles a computer to derive relaying information, e.
