A cumulative standard deviation sum based method for high resistance fault identification and classification in power transmission lines

Abstract

High resistance fault poses an enormous challenge to the existing algorithms of fault detection and fault classification. In this paper, the standard deviation and accumulation method are employed to perform the fault detection and classification. It is primarily built in two stages. Firstly, the standard deviations for the measured current's signals of the local and remote terminals is computed to extract the fault feature. Secondly, the cumulative approach is used to enlarge the fault feature to perform the high resistance fault. The proposed scheme is known as Standard Deviation Index (SDI), and it is obtained for the three phases and zero sequence. The proposed algorithm has been tested through different fault circumstances such as multiple faults locations, fault resistances, and fault inception time. Moreover, far-end faults with high-resistance, faults happened nearby the terminal, faults considering variable loading angle, sudden load change, different sampling frequency, bad signaling and a fault occurred in the presence of series compensation are also discussed. The results show that the proposed scheme performed remarkably well regarding the fault with resistance up to 1.5kΩ and can be detected within a millisecond after the fault inception. Additionally, the computational simplicity that characterizes the processes makes it more efficient and suitable for domain applications.

Multisource Heterogenous Data Fusion for Fault Identification of Buried Substations

“…Algorithms that can be used for fault identification include probabilistic neural network (PNN), radial basis function (RBF) neural network, wavelet artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF). However, most of the existing transformer fault identification methods use a single network to judge the fault type, which may lead to inaccurate fault identification results (Ke Meng et al, 2010;Tripathy et al, 2010;Musa et al, 2018;Jamali et al, 2020). The meta-ensemble fault identification model is applied to input the acoustic features and non-acoustic features into two networks and finally output the fault identification results by integrating the outputs of the two networks, which can implement multisource data fusion on various features of buried substations.…”

An Inequality Indicator for High-Resistance Connection Fault Diagnosis in Marine Current Turbine

“…The high-resistance connection 2 of 17 (HRC) is a common fault that leads to a current imbalance. The HRC may be caused by loose or damaged connections between any components between the industrial electrical machine and the inverter [19,20]. The damaged connections may be formed due to poor manufacturing technology, corrosion, aging, high current or voltage, vibration, thermal cycling [21], etc.…”

Single Pole-to-Ground Fault Analysis of MMC-HVDC Transmission Lines Based on Capacitive Fuzzy Identification Algorithm

“…Compared with traditional direct current, modular multilevel converter direct current (DC) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] transmission system has many advantages, such as no reactive power compensation problem, no commutation failure problem, power supply for passive system, independent regulation of active power and reactive power, flexible control, low loss, and so on [19,20]. Due to the above advantages, modular multilevel converter high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) systems are gaining popularity.…”
