IEEE PSRC Report on Global Industry Experiences With System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS)

TLDR

SIPS counteract system instability, preserve connectivity, and prevent equipment damage during major events. The report summarizes IEEE PSRC SIPS survey results to guide users and implementers with industry practices and lessons learned. The survey compiles global industry experiences with SIPS, detailing how these schemes protect power system integrity through IEEE and CIGRE collaboration.

Abstract

This paper is a summary of the IEEE Power System Relaying Committee report on the System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS) survey. The SIPS role is to counteract system instability, maintaining overall system connectivity, and/or to avoid serious equipment damage during major system events. The survey describes industry experiences with this category of protection schemes applied to protect the integrity of the power system. It is designed to provide guidance for SIPS users and implementers based on surveyed operating practices and lessons learned. The survey includes a global participation through the comprehensive effort of IEEE and CIGRE.
