A novel protection scheme for synchronous generator stator windings based on SVM

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel scheme for detecting and classifying faults in stator windings of a synchronous generator (SG). The proposed scheme employs a new method for fault detection and classification based on Support Vector Machine (SVM). Two SVM classifiers are proposed. SVM1 is used to identify the fault occurrence in the system and SVM2 is used to determine whether the fault, if any, is internal or external. In this method, the detection and classification of faults are not affected by the fault type and location, pre-fault power, fault resistance or fault inception time. The proposed method increases the ability of detecting the ground faults near the neutral terminal of the stator windings for generators with high impedance grounding neutral point. The proposed scheme is compared with ANN-based method and gives faster response and better reliability for fault classification.

Modern improvement techniques of direct torque control for induction motor drives - a review

“…The principle of this technique consists in imposing the appropriate vector of tension via a vector modulation of space, in order to proceed to a predictive regulation of the torque and the flux. The control algorithm for this method is more complex, but flux and torque oscillations are reduced and the average switching frequency of the inverter became constant [59]. Like any predictive method, the DTC-SVM has some static torque error for control without a speed loop during a practical implementation.…”

Non-destructive detection of highway hidden layer defects using a ground-penetrating radar and adaptive particle swarm support vector machine

“…Hou improved the SVM algorithm’s low precision around the hyperplane and reduced its computational complexity for processing large amounts of data; they also improved the algorithm’s training efficiency, and managed to reduce the number of false calls ( Hou et al, 2018 ). El-Saadawi & Hatata (2017) used the SVM algorithm for the stator winding protection of synchronous generators, and achieved good results. The SVM algorithm has been widely used in a variety of context, such as big data, medical, agricultural, and transportation applications ( Wang, Du & Wang, 2019 ; Wang et al, 2019 ; Zhang, Hu & Mao, 2008 ).…”
