In order to follow up on postgraduate studies and offer unlimited support to students, the President of Northern Technical University, Prof. Dr. Aliaa Abbas Ali Al-Attar, attended part of the discussion of the master’s thesis in Electrical Power Engineering Technology. The thesis was titled: “Improving Distance Relaying Scheme for Double Circuits EHV/HV Transmission Lines Fault Location by Considering the Impact of Zero Sequence Mutual Coupling.” The thesis, submitted by researcher Muhammad Hamdallah Muhammad, demonstrated the modeling and simulation of a system using MATLAB/Simulink software, and its practical implementation as a complete model using an Arduino Mega microcontroller and PZEM-004T sensors to measure voltage and current and simulate protection systems in real time. The thesis aimed to improve the performance of distance protection in double-circuit (EHV/HV) transmission lines affected by zero-sequence mutual coupling, especially when fault resistance is present and under variable generation conditions from wind energy sources. A significant improvement in fault location accuracy was achieved when applying integrated compensation techniques (residual current, mutual coupling, and fault resistance). The development of a new protection scheme (DPUTT) reduced unnecessary disconnections compared to the traditional (PUTT) scheme, while improving the reliability and stability of the protection system.
The thesis recommended the adoption of the proposed compensation techniques in modern transmission line protection systems, especially those integrated with renewable energy sources. It also proposed further studies of different fault types and the development of protection algorithms capable of distinguishing simultaneous faults in both circuits.
