This paper is a sequel to a study by the authors of electric power systems comprising the generator circuit-breakers (GCBs) at power plant generator terminals. A sustainable assessment of the current interruption requirements of a GCB addresses the main stresses on the generator circuit breaker, revealing that the GCB current interruption requirements are significantly higher than for the distr...

The Strong Consensus (SC) is a variant of the conventional distributed consensus problem. The protocol designed for the SC problem requires that the agreed value among fault-free processors be one of the fault-free processor's initial value. The SC problem is re-examined with the assumption of mixed failure types (also referred to as the hybrid fault model). Compared with the features of the ex...

Monitoring system for induction motor is widely developed to detect the incipient fault. Such system is desirable to detect the fault at the running condition to avoid the motor stop running suddenly. In this paper, a new method for detection system is proposed that emphasizes the fault occurrences as temporary short circuit in induction motor winding. The investigation of fault detection is fo...

In this paper we propose a sample selection procedure for improving accuracy of supervised classifiers in fault classification tasks. To generate faulty samples, a laboratory testbed is constructed and to avoid loss of a 3-phase AC induction motor (due to high short-circuit currents) resistors are used to limit current levels. This gives rise to short-circuit faults of different impedance level...

The electrical circuit equivalents of magnetic device structures such as transformer require an exact knowledge of its parameters. Efficient parameter estimation technique is essential to obtain the equivalent circuit parameters of transformer because the parameters are used to manipulate parasitic elements and to obtain the enhanced circuit performance. In this paper, Bacterial Foraging Algori...

A DC distribution system, which is suitable for access to distributed power generation and DC loads, is one of the development directions in power systems. Furthermore, it could greatly improve the energy efficiency and reduce the loss of power transportation. The huge short circuit current is always a great threat to the safety of the components, especially the capacitors and diodes. A resisti...
