Selection of Digital Filter for Microprocessor Protection Relays

Abstract

The article considers some issues related to replacement of electromechanical relays used for protection of power facilities with microprocessor relays. One of the urgent problems connected with implementation of microprocessor overcurrent protections is how to use current transducers other than usual current transformers and in particular Rogowski coils that become more and more widespread. In the article are compared twelve methods of synthesis of a digital filter basing on the analog prototype -second-order integrating filter. The bilinear filter and Boxer-Thaler filters are analyzed in respect to their use in microprocessor relays. Basing on the research results a technique for selection of parameters of digital integrating filters for microprocessor relays is proposed. Simulation results show that Boxer-Thaler and bilinear filters have better accuracy during transient current measurements than the analog filter. The study allows concluding that in many cases the digital second-order bilinear filter is the best choice for use in microprocessor relays.

Development of Ballistic Protection from Composition Material on the Basis of Aluminum

“…To carry out experiments for mechanical testing of the welded joint quality, there were prepared samples from cast dispersion-hardened material poured into split steel molds. The welded joints of armor plates have some peculiarities [22,23], in particular, a butt joint is not used, notwithstanding, for the initial evaluation of the welded joint strength the butt welding method was applied. The tests have showed that the tensile strength directly depends on the joint welding method.…”

Study of Structure and Optical Density of Track Membranes

“…In the ultraviolet area, there is a sharp rise in optical density to a maximum value at a wavelength of 650 nm, and the values gradually decrease in visible color and continue to decrease in the infrared area. Thus, we can consider this membrane as a neutral light filter with different optical densities for a wide range from the hard ultraviolet area to the soft X-ray with a high level of blocking of ultraviolet and visible background radiation [24,25].…”

A real-time fault diagnosis system for high-speed power system protection based on machine learning algorithms

“…Those that are based on classic circuit [2,3], symmetrical theories [4][5][6], digital wavelet transform (DWT) [4][5][6], and based on artificial neural network (ANN) [8,9]. The symmetrical theories and digital wavelet transform [4][5][6] require phasor estimation whose correctness depends highly on the efficiency of non-power frequency filtering [7]. The systems based on ANN [8,9] give satisfying results when it comes to classification tasks (fault type) but bad results when it comes to regression tasks (fault location).…”
