New IEEE Standard – Active – Draft. This guide outlines the design of protection systems for Dynamic Reactive Power Compensators (DRPC). The guide covers protection schemes and philosophies, instrument transformers, relay protection, control system protection, and testing related to the DRPC application. Differences between conventional substation and DRPC protection is discussed, including protection schemes and functions. Recommendations are provided for substation buses, power transformers, and associated branches such as Voltage Sourced Converters (VSC), Thyristor Switched Capacitors (TSC), Thyristor Switched Reactor (TSR), Thyristor Controlled Reactors (TCR), harmonic filter banks, grounding transformers, and auxiliary transformers, as well as power electronic valves and associated cooling systems. Finally, the guide discusses considerations for testing of DRPC control and protection systems.
