This paper presents a fault location technique for transmission lines with minimum current measurement. This algorithm investigates proper current ratios for fault location problem based on thevenin theory in faulty power networks and calculation of short circuit currents in each branch. These current ratios are extracted regarding lowest sensitivity on thevenin impedance variations of the netw...

The paper illustrates a procedure based on the continuous-wavelet transform (CWT) for the analysis of current transients due to line faults. Considering roundly reliability and accuracy of one terminal fault location system for transmission lines, a single-ended continuous wavelet Transform (CWT) based fault location algorithm has been presented in this paper. Wavelet transform is a powerful ma...

ii and the calculated CCT (as indicator for transient stability) and MDO (as indicator for oscillatory stability). Input features of ANN are selected to characterize the following: Changes in system topology and power distributions due to outage of major equipment such as transmission line, generation unit or large load Change in fault location and the severity of the fault Variation in loading...

More and more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) are being installed and utilized in power system substations. Majority of these new devices come with event recording feature and some even provide fault location calculation. In case of power system faults, protection and fault analysis engineers are often presented with event recording coming from various substations and also from multiple d...

In most highly developed electrical power system, there are several difficulties related from generation to distribution. Usually, power generation is located at remote area from the load center. Long transmission and distribution lines have to be constructed and maintained to meet required reliability, power quality and economic point of views. Reliable, cheap, efficient conductor is required ...

In this paper, we consider the fault-tolerant facility location problem with submodular penalties that is a common generalization of the fault-tolerant facility location problem and the facility location problem with submodular penalties. For this problem, we present a combinatorial 3 ·HR-approximation algorithm, where R is the maximum connectivity requirement and HR is the R-th harmonic number...

Vehicles produce sound signals with varying temporal and spectral properties under different working conditions. These sounds are indicative of the condition of the engine. Fault diagnosis is a significantly difficult task in geographically remote places where expertise is scarce. Automated fault diagnosis can assist riders to assess the health condition of their vehicles. This paper presents a...

this paper presents a method for diagnosis of eccentricity fault in a switched-reluctance motor (srm) during offline and standstill modes. in this method, the fault signature is differential induced voltage (div) achieved by injecting diagnostic pulses to the motor windings. it will be demonstrated by means of results that there is a correlation between differential induced voltage and eccentri...

An integrated fault-diagnosis algorithm for a motor sensor of in-wheel independent drive electric vehicles is presented. This paper proposes a method that integrates the high- and low-level fault diagnoses to improve the robustness and performance of the system. For the high-level fault diagnosis of vehicle dynamics, a planar two-track non-linear model is first selected, and the longitudinal an...
