In this paper, a method of low power analog testing is proposed. In spite of having Oscillation Based Built in Self-Test methodology (OBIST), a look up table based (LUT) low power testing approach has been proposed to find out the faulty circuit and also to sort out the particular fault location in the circuit. In this paper an operational amplifier, which is the basic building block in the ana...

This paper presents the effects of instrument transformers connection points on the measured impedance by distance relays in the presence of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices with series connected branch. Distance relay tripping characteristic itself depends on the power system structural conditions, pre-fault operational conditions, and especially the ground ...

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...

This paper presents a novel approach for fault type estimation in power systems. The Fault type estimation is the first step to estimate instantaneous voltage, voltage sag magnitude and duration in a three-phase system at fault duration. The approach is based on time-domain state estimation where redundant measurements are available. The current based model allows a linear mapping between the m...

in this paper, the impacts of installing superconducting fault current limiter (sfcl)in radial and loop power distribution system are evaluated to improve voltage sag in both cases of with and without distributed generations (dg). among various sfcls, the hybrid type with a superconducting element in parallel with a current limiting reactor (clr) is selected. this is more effective than resisto...

An optimization spiking neural P system (OSNPS) provides a novel way to directly use a P system to solve optimization problems. This paper discusses the practical application of OSNPS for the first time and uses it to solve the power system fault section estimation problem formulated by an optimization problem. When the status information of protective relays and circuit breakers read from a su...

Current inversion condition leads to incorrect operation of current based directional relay in power system with series compensated device. Application of the intelligent system for fault direction classification has been suggested in this paper. A new current directional protection scheme based on intelligent classifier is proposed for the series compensated line. The proposed classifier uses ...

In this paper a noble method of fault locating in a radial power distribution system is discussed. Fuzzy system will ease the calculation involved. The history associated with fault occurred in power system can be effectively used as a strong database. This database will act as the trainer to the fuzzy expert system. A rich history of faulty area will enhance the performance of the fuzzy fault ...
