This paper presents an overview of real-time fault diagnosis and describes essential features of a software environment for developing real-time fault diagnosis systems. The G2 Diagnostic Assistant is an environment for real-time fault diagnosis, created using the G2 Real-Time Expert System. The principle component of the Diagnostic Assistant is a graphical language for representing diagnostic ...

Structural damage to r.c. buildings located in a near-fault area has been observed during strong ground motions, with long-duration horizontal pulses and high values of the ratio between the peak value of the vertical acceleration and the analogous value of the horizontal acceleration. The design provisions of current seismic codes are generally not very accurate for assessing the structural ef...

This paper presents a new method for locating faults in multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) networks incorporating hybrid transmission media (HTMs), including segments of underground cables (UGCs) and overhead lines (OHLs). The proposed travelling wave (TW) type method uses continuous wavelet transform (CWT) applied to a series of line current measurements obtained from a network of distribute...

In this paper, we propose a new method to build a fault tolerant ATM switch. Using this method, we can build an ATM switch which has two disjoint paths between each input/ output pair. The key component in the proposed switch is a 2 ¥ 2 FTSE (Fault Tolerant Switching Element), which can be used as the basic building block for high speed ATM switches. The design of the FTSE-based fault tolerant ...

In this paper, we propose two fault-diagnosis methods for improving multiple-fault diagnosis resolution. The first method, based on the principle of single-fault activation and single-output observation, employs a new circuit transformation technique in conjunction with the use of a special type of diagnostic test pattern, named single-observation single-location-at-a-time (SO-SLAT) pattern. Gi...

Abstract: A fault-tolerant permanent-magnet vernier (FT-PMV) machine incorporates the merits of high fault-tolerant capability and high torque density. In this paper, a new remedial control is proposed for a five-phase FT-PMV machine with short-circuit fault of stator windings. Based on the principle of copper loss minimization, the aims of the proposed control strategy are to keep magnetic mot...
