The mosttypical reasons for these oscillations are big changes in load or changes in powersystem configuration caused by different faults and their clearance. As the rotatingmasses strive to find a stable operate condition, they oscillate with dampedoscillations until they reach the final stability.The extent of the oscillations depends on the extent of the disturbances and on thenatural stability of the system.The oscillation rate depends also on the inertia of the system and on the totalsystem impedance between different generating units. These oscillations causechanges in phase and amplitude of the voltage difference between the oscillatinggenerating units in the power system, which reflects further on in oscillating powerflow between two parts of the system - the power swings from one part to another -and vice versa.Distance IEDs located in interconnected networks see these power swings as theswinging of the measured impedance in relay points. The measured impedancevaries with time along a locus in an impedance plane, see figure 45. This locus canenter the operating characteristic of a distance protection and cause, if nopreventive measures have been considered, its unwanted operation.1MRK 511 407-UEN C Section 7Impedance protectionPhasor measurement unit RES670 2.2 IEC 107Application manual
