an approach for assignment of the optimal location and tap changer adjustment related to flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters with tap changer (tc-flsfcl) is used in this paper by debating the reduction of fault current flowing from each device and enhancement of reliability varying with customer type in a distribution network connected with distribution generation (dg). tc-fls...

this paper presets a method including a combination of the wavelet transform and fuzzy function approximation (ffa) for high impedance fault (hif) detection in distribution electricity network. discrete wavelet transform (dwt) has been used in this paper as a tool for signal analysis. with studying different types of mother signals, detail types and feeder signal, the best case is selected. the...

Influence of distributed generation systems in the distribution systems can increase the level of short-circuit current. The effectiveness of distributed generation systems is affected by the size, location, type of distributed generation systems technology, and the methods of connecting to distribution systems. Wind turbine system is the examples of distributed generation source. Not only does...

Fault classification in distance protection of transmission lines, with considering the wide variation in the fault operating conditions, has been very challenging task. This paper presents a probabilistic neural network (PNN) and new feature selection technique for fault classification in transmission lines. Initially, wavelet transform is used for feature extraction from half cycle of post-fa...

Real time and accurate fault detection has attracted an increasing attention with a growing demand for higher operational efficiency and safety of industrial gas turbines as complex engineering systems. Current methods based on condition monitoring data have drawbacks in using both expert knowledge and quantitative information for detecting faults. On account of this reason, this paper proposes...

low stacking fault energy face centered cubic (fcc) materials contain characteristic defect structures. stackingfault tetrahedral are one of those rare structures that occur under special experimental conditions. for the first time,stacking fault tetrahedral were observed in fe-30mn-3al-3si twinning induced plasticity (twip) steel. theirpresence resulted from a quenching heat treatment.

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems. QCA have the potential to achieve low power dissipation and operate high speed at THZ frequencies. However large probability of occurrence fabrication defects in QCA, is a fundamental challenge to use this emerging technology. Because of these vari...

In this paper, ‎the multi-sensor fault diagnosis in the exhaust temperature sensors of a V94.2 heavy duty gas turbine is presented‎. ‎A Laguerre network-based fuzzy modeling approach is presented to predict the output temperature of the gas turbine for sensor fault diagnosis‎. Due to the nonlinear dynamics of the gas turbine, in these models the Laguerre filter parts are related to the linear d...

This paper compares fault position and Monte Carlo methods as the most common methods in stochastic assessment of voltage sags. To compare their abilities, symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults with different probability distribution of fault positions along the lines are applied in a test system. The voltage sag magnitude in different nodes of test system is calculated. The problem with the...
