The requirement for reliability and security in power system is increasing every passingday with the increase in complexity of the power system. To ensure highest level ofreliability, protection relays have to receive correct measurements. One of the most importantmeasurement that is needed by a relay as an input is current. However, currentmeasurements received from current transformer (CT) can become inaccurate due to aphenomenon called CT saturation. This Master's thesis objective is to build a novel algorithmfor the protection relays to detect CT saturation. The algorithm should be basedon a stand-alone method that is able to detect CT saturation within 1-2 ms for a samplingfrequency of 4 kHz.This project comprises a study of the background about CTs and CT saturation. Therelated work done to detect CT saturation is also studied. Later, major existing methodsused in the industry to deal with CT saturation are investigated in detail and modelledin Simulink. A novel method is proposed to exclusively detect CT saturation, keeping inmind the strict requirements, set in the beginning of the project. The proposed methodis implemented in Simulink and HiDraw(in-house software in ABB to create C code forprotection functions). Lastly, the proposed method and the existing methods are testedin Simulink for more than 1300 test cases based on dierent power system conditions,IEC-60255-187-1 and real current recordings from relays.The results of the tests showed that the proposed method successfully detect CT saturationand was better than the existing methods in terms of speed and accuracy. It was concludedthat the proposed method successfully detects CT saturation and hence, can be used withany protection function in a relay where there is a need to detect CT saturation. / Kraven pa tillforlitlighet och sakerhet i kraftsystem okar varje dag i samband med allthogre komplexitet i kraftsystemet. For att uppna den hogsta nivan av tillforlitlighetbehover relaskydden ta emot korrekta matvarden fran kraftsystemet. Ett av de mest viktigamatvardena som behovs for ett relaskydd ar strom. Emellertid, kan matvarden franen stromtransformator bli felaktiga pagrund av ett fenomen som kallas stromtransformatormattning. Malet for detta examensarbete ar att skapa en ny algoritm for relaskydd somdetekterar stromtransformatormattning. Algoritmen ska baseras pa en fristaende metodsom klarar av att detektera stromtransformatormattning inom 1-2 ms for en samplingsfrekvenspa 4 kHz.Detta projekt omfattar, forutom en studie av hur stromtransformatormattning kan detekteras,aven en bakgrundsstudie om stromtransformatorer och stromtransformatormattning.Viktigare existerande metoder, som anvands i industrin for att detektera stromtransformatormattning, undersoks i detalj och modelleras i Simulink. En ny metod foreslas foratt exklusivt detektera stromtransformatormattning med hansyn till de strikta krav somfaststalldes i borjan av projektet. Den foreslagna metoden ar implementerad i Simulinkoch i HiDraw (en intern ABB mjukvara for att skapa C-kod for skyddsfunktioner). Slutligenar den nya foreslagna metoden och de existerande metoderna testade i Simulinkmed er an 1300 testfall baserade paolika forhallanden i kraftsystemet, IEC-60255-187-1standarden och med verkliga inspelningar av strom gjorda av relaskydd i drift.Resultatet av testerna visar att den nya foreslagna metoden framgangsrikt detekterarstromtransformatormattning och gor det battre an existerande metoder med avseende pasnabbhet och noggrannhet. Det konstaterades att den nya foreslagna metoden framgangsriktdetekterar stromtransformatormattning och darfor kan anvandas for vilken relaskyddsfunktionsom helst i ett relaskydd dar behovet av att detektera stromtransformatormattningnns.
