Abstract

Optical calculation method and system for relay protection based on Faraday magneto-optical rotation effect are provided. A cascaded optical computing approach is employed, where three optical current transformers are connected in series on a single optical path. Final output optical signal represented as a cascaded multiplication of outputs of three optical current transformers, carries a Faraday rotation angle containing differential current information. Differential current required for protection is computed by modulation ratio which is calculated by use of a carrier and modulation wave signals of the output optical signal detecting by filtering circuit from the third optical current transformer.
