This paper presents design steps of an auxiliary module intended to function in conjunction with under-operation 1st-zone conventional distance relays of double-circuit transmission lines. The proposed module pursues the objective of eliminating the underreach of associated ground elements, arising from single-line-to-ground faults of high resistance. It is founded on the online estimation of the fault distance during the faults, through the roots of a non-linear algebraic equation developed in the sequence networks. The equation is mathematically discussed and a fitting numerical algorithm efficiently finding its roots with no concern about the computation burden is chosen. In order to be applicable to the lines of any lengths, particularly long lines, the proposed module is developed through the distributed-parameter based model of double-circuit lines. In addition, it employs only the data acquired at the relaying location and is independent of the network configuration. Important considerations are made for the proposed module, making its function both dependable and secure. Simulation studies conducted in MATLAB and PSCAD/EMTDC examine the proposed module in a variety of influencing situations, and confirm that it accurately fulfills its intended objective within the time frame of the distance protection.
