IEEE Draft Guide for Protecting Transmission Dynamic Reactive Power Compensators

This guide outlines the design of protection systems for Dynamic Reactive Power Compensators (DRPC). The guide covers protection schemes and philosophies, instrument transformers, relay protection, control system protection, and testing related to the DRPC application. Differences between conventional substation and DRPC protection is discussed, including protection schemes and functions. Recommendations are provided for substation buses, power transformers, and associated branches such as Voltage Sourced Converters (VSC), Thyristor Switched Capacitors (TSC), Thyristor Switched Reactor (TSR), Thyristor Controlled Reactors (TCR), harmonic filter banks, grounding transformers, and auxiliary transformers, as well as power electronic valves and associated cooling systems. Finally, the guide discusses considerations for testing of DRPC control and protection systems.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
