Abstract
The wide application of power electronic components in power systems with renewable energy sources has changed the fault characteristics of conventional power systems, resulting in the performance degradation of conventional protections. To solve these problems, a novel principle of pilot protection based on structural similarity and square error criteria is provided. The structural similarity criterion utilizes the difference of fault characteristics between renewable sources and synchronous generators to identify internal faults, and the square error criterion is used to solve abnormal calculation of the conventional similarity based protection. Compared with conventional differential protections, the disclosed protection shows excellent performance in speed and reliability during various faults.
