This paper proposes novel system-level protection techniques for feed forward equalizers, which exploit application and system knowledge, resulting in a more intelligent protection with a 71% saving of circuit complexity in comparison to XTMR.

The authors propose a concept for protection relay systems for operation within a Smart Grid and describe the results of a prototype development. This paper introduces each of the system characteristics that should be considered for protection operation within Smart Grid, and the evaluation methods that were applied under both normal and faulted conditions. The results of a field trial in the 6...

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in power system protection has been addressed in this paper. Particular emphasis has been put on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic (FL). Several novel concepts have been introduced including ANN application to CT and CVT transients correction, fuzzy criteria signals, fuzzy settings and multi-criteria decision making for digi...

The Complete Automatic Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a modern implementation of the Turing test. A CAPTCHA asks a series of questions which are supposed to be relatively easy for mature human beings but hard for machines to answer. A CAPTCHA, as its name suggests, is generally used as a tool to distinguish human beings from machines when the corresponding pa...

This paper presents an overview of Intelligent Video work currently under development at the GE Global Research Center and other research institutes. The image formation process is discussed in terms of illumination, methods for automatic camera calibration and lessons learned from machine vision. A variety of approaches for person detection are presented. Crowd segmentation methods enabling th...

Recently, the concept of microgrid (MG) has been developed to assist penetration large numbers distributed energy resources (DERs) into distribution networks. However, integration DERs in form MGs disturbs operating codes traditional Consequently, protection strategies cannot be applied MG against short-circuit faults. This paper presents a novel intelligent strategy (NIPS) for based on empiric...

The paper describes a research project carried out in conjunction with two major UK utilities, focusing on the introduction of knowledge management and intelligent decision support to the existing protection design and application processes operated within both companies. A brief overview is provided of the generic design process, and the development of the web-based Design Engineering Knowledg...
