This paper proposes an industrial solution (equipment) for lightning and surge protection of distribution transformers. The proposed protection equipment has been installed at 100 distribution transformers (sample) of the Public Power Corporation (PPC) of Greece. The article estimates the future transformer failures, considering two different cases: (a) transformer without the proposed protecti...

This paper presents the use of ANN as a pattern classifier for differential protection of power transformer, which makes the discrimination among normal, magnetizing inrush, over-excitation, external fault and internal fault currents. The Back Propagation Neural Network Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm are used to train the multi-layered feed forward neural network and simulated results are comp...

Transformer differential protection may be of malfunction at the emergence of inrush current, and it will affect the normal operation of the transformer. So the paper puts forward a new application of wavelet energy spectrum entropy-neural network theory in transformer microcomputer protection, in which the multi-resolution analysis of wavelet transform and information entropy technology are co...

the aim of this paper is to extend a hybrid protection plan for power transformer (pt) based on mra-ksir-ssvm. this paper offers a new scheme for protection of power transformers to distinguish internal faults from inrush currents. some significant characteristics of differential currents in the real pt operating circumstances are extracted. in this paper, multi resolution analysis (mra) is use...

This article provides a description of protection based on the transformer model. The described by authors does not require calculations and depend operating mode power system. sensitivity ensures detection internal coil short circuits in case transformer. compares proposed algorithm with an improved version differential protection, which is capable fixing most

A new approach for protection of power transformer is presented using a time-frequency transform known as Wavelet transform. Different operating conditions such as inrush, Normal, load, External fault and internal fault current are sampled and processed to obtain wavelet coefficients. Different Operating conditions provide variation in wavelet coefficients. Features like energy and Standard dev...

Second harmonic restraint is still commonly used to discriminate fault current and transformer inrush conditions. Such approach, however, has some disadvantages and limitations. Therefore various other criteria signals for power transformer inrush discrimination have been analysed. The paper presents a new multi-criteria stabilization algorithm that employs fuzzy reasoning technique for better ...

This paper proposes a restricted earth fault protection based on the wavelet transform (REFW) for detecting ground faults close to transformer neutral point (turn-to-ground faults) and supporting conventional phase differential protection, which presents limitations in this kind of faults. The proposed REFW uses only high-frequency components instead phasor estimation, speeding up detection tur...
