Ocean economy plays a crucial role in the strengthening maritime safety industry and in the welfare of human beings. Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP) have been widely used in floating platforms on the sea to provide oil for machines. However, the ESP fault may lead to ocean environment pollution, on the other hand, a timely fault diagnosis of ESP can improve the ocean economy. In order to meet ...

In the past few years there has been a significant rise in the short-circuit current levels in transmission and distribution networks, it due to the increasing demands on power and the addition of sources of distributed generations. It leads to the need of integration of novel protection systems such as the superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs), as the installation of these devices int...

Occurrence of a multiple-points fault in machine operations could result in exhibiting complex fault signatures, which could result in lowering fault diagnosis accuracy. In this study, a multiple-points defect model (MPDM) is proposed which can simulate fault signature’s dynamics for n-points bearing faults. Furthermore, this study identifies that in case of multiple-points fault in the rotary ...

This paper presents a complete scheme for protection of transmission lines, including fault detection, fault classification as well as fault location. The fault location module utilizes the modeling of transmission lines through their differential equations. The differential equation for the line is solved having its resistence and inductance as parameters. In this approach there is no need for...

This paper describes recent implementations and proposes new developments related to automated fault and disturbance analysis. An advanced expert system for automated analysis of faults and related operations of protective relays using DFR data is described first. Further improvements in the fault location using synchronized sampling are discussed next. Possibility for DFR modifications to allo...

The increased accuracy of the faults’ location is a very actual request of the power grids’ operation and management, reason to develop new and as precise as possible techniques for the estimation of the shortcircuits’ location. The actual fault locating techniques use algorithms based on power frequency quantities or on traveling waves principles, both categories of such fault locators being d...
