INTRODUCTION In view of the envisaged competitive electricity market era, utilities are examining the application of information technology (IT) as an alternative to support corporate business strategies that focus on improving service, power quality and reducing cost of operation and maintenance. Key issues for the improvement of the overall productivity are more and better information concern...

Fault detection of Substation Power Transformer by Non-contact measurement is important for the safety machines, instruments, and human beings. To make non-contact as convenient possible, it desirable that efficient algorithms based on AE (acoustic emission) discrimination are developed. This paper presents a system quick effective fault substation power transformer, signals collected single mi...

The aim of this work is to propose an approach to monitor and protect Electric Power System by learning normal system behaviour at substations level, and raising an alarm signal when an abnormal status is detected; the problem is addressed by the use of autoassociative neural networks, reading substation measures. Experimental results show that, through the proposed approach, neural networks ca...

The noise in substations has become one of the most concerning problems field power grid. In this paper, principle substation layout optimization based on maximum acoustic ray shielding method is established premise sound wave propagation rule complicated air medium to meet requirements relevant national environmental standards for at boundary substation. By establishing simulation analysis mod...

In [4], we have studied the statistical properties and mono-fractality of the power system time series, voltage magnitude (V), frequency (f), and phase angle (θ). The power system data was measured using three Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) installed at Baylor University, Harris Substation, McDonald Observatory in the Texas Synchrophasor Network [1]. Our analysis of several data sets has shown...

Embedded Generation (EG) is a small scale production of power, typically located close to electricity consumers. Technologies used for EG include combined head and power, solar, wind, biomass, and gas. In Ontario, as a result of the Standard Offer Program (SOP), a large amount of EG projects has been proposed to be directly connected to distribution systems in the IESOControlled Grid (ICG). The...

Load currents through the power and distribution transformer and line impedances cause voltage drops, which reduce voltage magnitude at the loads. Voltage magnitudes at service locations must be maintained within specified ranges. This is accomplished in both fixed designs of the system (e.g., conductor selection, substation and distribution transformer tap settings, fixed capacitor banks) and ...

This paper presents a support vector machine (SVMs) approach for locating and diagnosing faults in electric power distribution feeders. The proposed approach is based on the measurements available at the substation and remote terminal units (RTUs). To illustrate the proposed methodology, a practical distribution feeder emanating from 132/11KV-grid substation in India with loads is considered. T...
