Abstract

Protection strategies for transmission and distribution systems have been extensively investigated to facilitate better coordination of physical protection devices. A diverse range of functional motors with dedicated protection schemes are being used more and more in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. This paper focuses on simulating several of the most popular protection schemes using the Electro-Magnetic Transient Program (EMTP) model for three-phase and single-phase induction motors in existing commercial buildings connected to typical distribution feeders. To investigate the behaviors of single-phase motors stalling, the actions of motor protection and reconnections, and the impacts of device-level protection on system-level dynamics, we imposed voltage depressions at the head of a feeder fully loaded with functional induction motors. Several distribution feeders are represented in a standard IEEE 39-bus transmission system to simulate fault-induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR) and explore mitigation strategies by optimally configuring the building-level motor protection settings.
