Phaselet Definition Phaselets are partial sums of the products of the waveform samples and the sine/cosine coefficients. Input signals are sampled 64 times per cycle; protection algorithms are executed 16 times per cycle. Groups of phaselets may be added together and transformed to create a phasor. 6
Phaselet Calculation Phaselet Real = C X PhaseletImaginary = S X Where : C, S k p pp k k= + pp P 1 p pp k k= + pp P 1 = Sine and Cosine Coefficients p = phaselet index: there are N / P phaselets per cycle P = the number of phaselets per cycle X = kth sample of the input signal k k k k 7

Phasor Calculation Phaselets are converted to phasors by the following: Phasor Re al n Phasor Im aginary n TRR ( nw, ) TRI ( n, W) PhasorSum Re al n = TIR ( n, W) TII ( n, W) PhasorSum Im aginary n Where: PhaseletSumReal = Phaselet Real n n p= n W + 1 P PhaseletSumImaginary = Phaselet Imaginary n n p= n W +1 P n = Phasor index (N/P) W = Window size in samples p p 9

Adaptive Reactive Unit Supervision Reactance type distance functions require supervision to prevent operation on normal load flow. The traditional approach is to use a fixed resistive blinder, or a fixed reach mho function. 19
