This paper evaluates the impact of commutation failures on the transient response of phasor estimation algorithms and the performance of AC transmission line protection. The results indicate that phasor estimation errors occur during CFs, potentially causing protection functions to misoperate.
Commutation failure (CF) is an inherent issue for Line-Commutated Converter (LCC) HVDC technology. Whenever it happens, voltage and current waveforms throughout the AC system in the near vicinity of LCCHVDC links become quite distorted. In this paper, it is assessed the impact of such kind of distortion on transient response of phasor estimation algorithms and, in turn, on the performance of AC transmission lines protection. Different discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based algorithms are implemented, and distance, differential and directional protection functions are evaluated. The obtained results reveal that phasor estimation errors arise whenever CFs take place, which may lead protection functions to misoperate, such that false trip command may be issued for external faults.
