Power system reliability operation has been one of the most vital topics under research. The power system network, mostly the long transmission lines is often subjected to different types of faults leading to maloperation of power flow. The idea of a reliable protection system is to most accurately and efficiently identifying the fault, classifying and the locating of fault. This paper represen...

Increase in power generation capacity of electric power systems has lead to increase in the fault current level which can exceed the maximum designed short-circuit ratings of the switchgear. All the equipment therefore must have a short-circuit rating capable to withstand this level. Short-circuit currents contain extremely high energy and can damage electrical equipment. Typically, the circuit...

In this paper, an application of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is proposed to limit the fault current that occurs in power system, SFCL is a device that uses superconductors to instantaneously limit or reduce unanticipated electrical surges that may occur on utility distribution and transmission networks. Due to the difficulty in power network reinforcement and the interconnectio...

In this intelligent fault detecting system in an optical fibre used to find the fault in optic fibre line. To design a fault monitoring module and find the fault in the line says across the customer sides. The idea behind this module is to monitor the received power supply in optical fibre using a Microcontroller. Laser output power monitoring circuit is designed using ISIS simulator to monitor...

In this paper, a single-ended fault location method is presented based on a circuit breaker operation using the frequencies of traveling waves. The proposed method receives the required data from voltage traveling waves with the aid of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Wavelet Transform. Then, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) identifies fault type and determines its location. In order to eval...

Propose a fault diagnosis method which combines analytical redundancy with bond graph model for electrolytic high power rectifier system. Firstly, using the software 20-sim, the author builds a bond graph model of the system and established a diagnostic bond graph model through adding virtual sensor in bond graph model; then, according to the causal relationship in the components, analytical re...

Boiler-turbines are one of the most important parts in power generation plants. The safety problem in such systems has always been a special concern. This paper discusses the application of control reconfig uration by fault-hiding approach for a boiler-turbine unit. In Fault-hiding approach, after occurrence of a fault, nominal controller of the system remains unchanged; instead, a reconfigurat...

Power system component fault diagnosis problem is a key issue in case of the failure of the power system. A Bayesian network, in which the network parameters are learnt by a particle swarm optimization algorithm, is proposed in this paper to establish the statistical diagnosis model. The Noisy-Or and Noisy-And structure are employed to construct the framework of the model, where the 4-level Bay...

Short-circuit calculations are extremely important in the application and setting of protective relays and the analysis of power system operations. This paper illustrates the calculation of fault currents and voltages during intermediate faults in underground cables, taking into consideration the cable sheath bonding and grounding method. The compensated ground loop impedance for faults along t...
