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

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.
