A Novel Transient Current-Based Differential Algorithm for Earth Fault Detection in Medium Voltage Distribution Networks

This paper presents a novel transient current differential algorithm for earth fault detection in unearthed (isolated) and compensated neutral medium voltage (MV) networks. The proposed algorithm uses the transient residual currents, which are very sensitive for earth faults detection. The transient values of residual currents are calculated for each feeder in the network and used as an earth f...

degradation of oil impregnated paper insulation under influence of repetitive fast high voltage impulses

در طی سالهای اخیراستفاده ازمنابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در شبکه های مدرن بنا به دلایل زیست محیطی و اقتصادی به طور گسترده استفاده شده است همچون نیروگاههای بادی و خورشیدی .ولتاژتولیدی این نیروگاهها اغلب به فرم dc می باشد وادوات الکترونیک قدرت به عنوان مبدل و پل بین شکل موج dc وac استفاده می شوند.این پروسه باعث ایجاد پالسهایی برروی شکل موج خروجی می شود که می تواند وارد تجهیزات قدرت همچون ترانسفورماتور ی...

Protection Plan of Medium Voltage Distribution Network in Tunisia

Abstract—The distribution networks are often exposed to harmful incidents which can halt the electricity supply of the customer. In this context, we studied a real case of a critical zone of the Tunisian network which is currently characterized by the dysfunction of its plan of protection. In this paper, we were interested in the harmonization of the protection plan settings in order to ensure ...

An Improved Method for High Impedance Fault Detection in Medium Voltage Networks

Original scientific paper This paper presents a set of rules for an intelligent algorithm of high impedance fault detection by observing the phase to ground voltage, phase to phase current and harmonics of fault current. Several techniques to detect high impedance faults already exist for example current injection in the neutral, superposing voltage signals, harmonic analysis, neural networks. ...
