ASSESSMENT OF OVERCURRENT PROTECTION OF TNB NETWORK USING PSCAD SOFTWARE
Abstract
This research focuses on assessing IDMT overcurrent protection in the TNB network, particularly in the Pencawang Masuk Utama (PMU) at Pagoh, using PSCAD software simulations. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of existing protection methods, analyzing fault reactions, coordination, and fault-clearing times. The TNB network model simulates diverse fault scenarios, enabling a comprehensive examination. Proposed enhancements, such as adjusting relay settings and implementing advanced protection technologies, aim to improve system dependability. The findings aim to guide TNB in optimizing overcurrent protection and offer insights applicable to similar power utilities. Ultimately, the project contributes to the ongoing improvement of TNB's protective infrastructure, ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply for customers.
