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...

This paper analyses the method to limit fault currents and pre fault bus voltage by the use of Thyristor Controlled phase Shifting transformer (TCPST). The mathematical model of power system equipped with TCPST was systematically derived. The magnitude of the series reactance plays a very important role to limit the short circuit current, as well as TCPST inject a series voltage which reduces t...

The STATCOM (Synchronous Static Compensator) based on voltage source converter (VSC) is used for voltage regulation in transmission and distribution systems. The STATCOM can rapidly supply dynamic VARs required during system faults for voltage support. The apparent impedance is influenced by the reactive power injected or absorbed by the STATCOM, which will result in the under reaching or over ...

-Wind Energy is one of the cheapest available renewable sources of energy. Now-a-days the demand for electricity increases drastically. A number of wind farms are already in operation and more are planned or under construction due to the increasing demand of the bulk amount of the electricity. It is must to identify the interactions between the Wind Turbines and the Power System. Here the Power...

This paper deals with the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to fault detection and location in extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines for high speed protection using terminal line data. The proposed neural fault detector and locator were trained using various sets of data available from a selected power network model and simulating different fault scenarios (fault types, fau...

This paper proposes a novel approach based on the chaos eye method (CEM) and extension neural network (ENN) for fault diagnosis of wind power systems. First, we used sensors to capture the vibration signals of the wind power system to detect subtle changes. Subsequently, the chaotic synchronization detection method was used to form a chaos error distribution diagram. The distribution diagram ce...

In power system protection, the need to know the load current together with the fault level detected by a relay is important. This is due to the fact that the relay is required to isolate the equipment being protected if a fault is present and keep the breaker associated with it closed if the current level is lower than the maximum load level. This is not an issue for a radial system. This is n...

The high-performance, scalability and miniaturization requirements together with the power, mass and cost constraints mandate the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and standards in the X2000 avionics system architecture for deep-space missions. In this paper, we report our experiences and findings on the design of an IEEE 1394 compliant fault-tolerant COTS-based bus architecture...
