With increased integration of renewable energy resources, FACTs devices and series compensation, sub-synchronous oscillations (SSO) have become more common in electrical power systems in recent ye.
Protective relays are power system protection devices that monitor current, voltage, frequency, impedance, or differential quantities and command circuit breakers when faults or

The aim of this paper is to explain which relay systems are most prone to operate during stressed system conditions, and why relay systems operate, to share experiences and lessons
Sub Synchronous Resonance (SSR) is a phenomenon which electrical energy is exchanged between generator and transmission system below power frequency. SSR occurs due to interaction of a
Digital relays today are capable to detect oscillations along with performing protection functions. Early detection of oscillations can help mitigating bigger problems later.
This basic relationship between the period and magnitude of the oscillation in voltage magnitude is critical to understanding how power swings impact protection relay functions.
