A substation must be properly protected against lightning and other external effects to the equipment in the station or staff, for that we use relay protection. They should also protect against internal errors which may occur as ground faults. There are different types of protection relays, but most common are overcurrent-, distance-, residual current- and differential protection. The purpose of this thesis was to deepen our knowledge of relay protection and to use the theoretical knowledge we got from the university studies in the work process. In the process we discovered which parameters were the most essential and calculated these for all relay protections on the substation. We also carry out a comparison between two brands of relay protection, ABB and Alstom. During our work we will test and simulate the over-current relays in a program called NEPLAN, the program will also calculate the fault currents. It was also supposed to test the other protection types, but we were limited to over-current protection when the software license didn´t apply to the other. In our work we will include much theoretical material with information about the components around the protections and substation and the calculations that’s included.
