Electrical and Electronic Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Protective Relay Coordination Study

This Electrical and Electronic Engineering final year project examines checking time-current coordination in a fictional feeder, with a bounded circuit, model or measurement procedure and explicitly defined evaluation quantities.

Why choose this project topic?

The project focuses on checking time-current coordination in a fictional feeder, making the engineering decision visible through measurable behaviour. Comparing trip-time separation, uncoordinated cases and sensitivity provides material for waveforms, calculations and a reasoned discussion of the trade-offs behind the selected design.

How do the selected circuit, control or measurement choices affect trip-time separation, uncoordinated cases and sensitivity when checking time-current coordination in a fictional feeder?

Agree the available approved equipment or simulation platform, operating range and comparison method for checking time-current coordination in a fictional feeder with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the operating limits, assumptions and reference conditions for checking time-current coordination in a fictional feeder.
  2. 02Use documented relay characteristics, model bounded fault currents and compare coordination margins under changed source impedance.
  3. 03Evaluate trip-time separation, uncoordinated cases and sensitivity and explain model or measurement uncertainty.

A suggested research approach

Use documented relay characteristics, model bounded fault currents and compare coordination margins under changed source impedance. Obtain supervisor approval for equipment and operating limits, and use simulation whenever the physical setup is unavailable or unsafe. Record units, instrument settings and repeated observations before comparing trip-time separation, uncoordinated cases and sensitivity with a defined reference.

What you will need

  • Protection simulation software
  • Fictional feeder parameters
  • Published relay curves

Keep your project scope clear

Do not alter live protection settings; study results require qualified engineering review before any application.
