Abstract
This paper presents an advanced differential protection scheme for protecting transformers during geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) conditions and the flow of geomagnetically induced current (GIC) in the transformer. In this study, the inaccuracy of the existing harmonic blocking (HB) methods of the differential protection is investigated under the GIC conditions. It is shown that there are scenarios in which the HB-based differential relays fail to clear the internal faults since they are blocked due to the GIC-related harmonic currents. By detecting both GIC conditions and internal short-circuit faults, a solution scheme is proposed which overrides the harmonic inhibition signals issued by the HB module and makes the differential relay capable of tripping the transformer. Extensive time-domain simulations within the EMTP-RV verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in (i) unblocking the transformer differential protection for the internal faults during the GIC, (ii) preventing the malfunction for the external faults, (iii) distinguishing the transformer inrush and sympathetic inrush currents from the GIC conditions, and (iv) immunity to current transformer (CT) saturation. Furthermore, the simulation results prove that the differential protection equipped with the proposed approach outperforms the existing HB methods under the GIC conditions.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
