due to their inherent sensitivity to resistivity contrast, em methods have an important role in detection of fault zones. in this paper, we experienced controlled source tensor magnetotelluric (cstmt) method to recognize a fault zone in bam area. an earthquake devastated the town of bam on 26 december 2003. surface displacements reveal that over 2 m of slip occurred at depth on a fault that had...

This paper presents a machine learning technique for fault diagnostics in induction motor drives. A normal model and an extensive range of faulted models for the inverter-motor combination were developed and implemented using a generic commercial simulation tool to generate voltages and current signals at a broad range of operating points selected by a machine learning algorithm. A structured n...

The wheelset bearing play an important role in train running safety. In this paper, we introduce the nonlinear dynamical method to study the wheelset bearing vibration signal. Based on the comparative studies of the phase graph and the correlation dimension of the vibration signals under normal condition, outer peeling fault condition and rolling element electric erosion fault condition, the fo...

«Cahiers Techniques» is a collection of documents intended for engineers and technicians, people in the industry who are looking for more in-depth information in order to complement that given in product catalogues. Furthermore, these «Cahiers Techniques» are often considered as helpful «tools» for training courses. They provide knowledge on new technical and technological developments in the e...

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...

Superconductor fault current limiter (SFCL) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. This paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  Appropriate location and type of the limiters in a HV substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. Study system is simulated by...

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 new fast and accurate method for fault detection, location, and classification on multi-terminal DC (MTDC) distribution networks connected to renewable energy and energy storages presented. MTDC networks develop due to some issues such as DC resources and loads expanding, and try to the power quality increasing. It is important to recognize the fault type and location in order ...

In this paper, the effect of number and fault current limiter(FCL) location has been investigated in order to have maximum reduction of short circuit current level in all buses in a real network. To do so, the faulty buses were identified in terms of short circuit current level by computing short circuits on the desired network. Then, while the fault current limit was modeled, its optimal locat...
