Dataset for Testing Transmission Line Protections: Energy Transition Scenarios

This dataset provides simulation data for testing transmission line protection algorithms in a 500 kV power system modeled in the Alternative Transients Program (ATP). The system consists of five buses, interconnected in a ring configuration by double-circuit transmission lines represented using the Bergeron model. One of the buses includes a 2 GW nuclear power plant with synchronous machine-based generation, while another bus hosts a 300 MW wind farm utilizing doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG). The remaining buses are modeled as Thévenin equivalents with distinct single-phase and three-phase fault levels. The dataset focuses on evaluating protection algorithms for the transmission line connecting the wind farm to the nuclear power plant. Instrument transformers, including current transformers (CTs) and capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs), are installed at both terminals of this transmission line. The CTs incorporate saturation effects, and all instrument transformers are modeled based on real equipment data. The dataset consists of files containing primary and secondary phase voltage and line current signals for various fault scenarios. These scenarios include variations in: Fault location; Inception angle; Fault resistance; Transmission system topology at the time of the fault; Noise in secondary signals; Communication channel asymmetry between the two line terminals; Each simulation scenario is stored in a separate file, enabling detailed testing of line protection schemes under diverse operational conditions.

More details will be available in the future.
