This paper presents some results after comparing the characteristics of 3 algorithms, which are discrete Fourier transform based algorithm, least square method, and modified differential approximation algorithm, used at most distance relays all over the world. In case of the DFT based distance relaying algorithm, the length of the algorithm data window and the cut-off frequency of an anti-aliasing low-pass filter adopted are fixed. On the other hand, the data window lengths are changed according to the corresponding low-pass filters in the rest two algorithms. In series of tests, the apparent impedance estimated by the modified differential approximation algorithm shows faster and more stable characteristics of convergence than the two others.
