    摘要: An apparatus and method is provided for identifying a faulted phase in at least one shunt capacitor bank. The apparatus generally includes a sampling circuit for sampling current or voltage signals associated with the shunt capacitor bank. A microcontroller is coupled to the sampling circuit and programmed to measure a compensated neutral point phase angle from the sampled signal, and compare the compensated neutral point phase angle with a fixed reference phase angle to identify the faulted phase of the shunt capacitor bank. The method generally includes the steps of sampling a current or voltage signal associated with the shunt capacitor bank, determining a compensated neutral point phase angle from the sampled signal, and comparing the compensated neutral point phase angle with a fixed reference phase angle to identify the faulted phase of the shunt capacitor bank. The invention also relates to an apparatus and method for identifying the location of the fault (e.g., the section of the bank) in a double ungrounded shunt capacitor bank or double WYE shunt capacitor bank.

    摘要: A power system may comprise two or more transformers operating in parallel. A voltage differential may exist between the transformers, which may create a circulating current in the power system. The system voltage of the power system may be modified by performing a tap change operation on one or more of the transformers. The tap change operation may be configured to minimize the circulating current. The circulating current may be minimized by determining the bias between the transformers using an angular difference between the transformer currents. The angular difference may be calculated using time-aligned measurement data. A tap change operation configured to modify the system voltage, while minimizing circulating current, may be determined using the transformer bias.

    摘要: A negative sequence differential element may detect a fault in an electrical power system by computing a differential between negative sequence values derived from a first phase-current measurement and a second phase-current measurement. A transformer may be disposed between the first phase-current and second phase-current measurement location. The first phase-current measurement and the second phase-current measurement may be normalized and a negative sequence current may be calculated therefrom. The negative sequence currents may be used to calculate an operating quantity, which may be an absolute value of the sum of the first and second negative sequence currents, and a restraint quantity comprising a maximum of the first and second negative sequence currents. The restraint quantity may be scaled by a slope factor. A fault may be detected if the operating quantity exceeds the scaled restraint quantity and a pickup current threshold.

    摘要: Provided are methods for controlling operation of a voltage regulator of a single-phase of a three-phase power system to regulate a measured voltage. One of the methods includes recording a first elapsed time between detecting a first excursion of the measured voltage from an in-band area to an out-of-band area, and a first return of the measured voltage to the in-band area. The method also includes recording a second elapsed time period (dip period) between detecting the first return and a second excursion of the measured voltage from the in-band area to an out-of-band area. If the second elapsed time period is less than a predetermined dip time period, causing a tap position change of the voltage regulator upon expiration of a countdown period initiated upon detecting the first excursion, thereby adjusting the measured voltage to the in-band area while allowing a voltage drop of limited length.

    摘要: Provided is an apparatus and method for providing a voltage reduction for single-phase voltage regulator operation in a three-phase power system. The voltage regulator includes a plurality of tap positions selectable to adjust a voltage at a load to an in-band area. The method includes determining a measured voltage and current at the voltage regulator, determining a line voltage drop between the voltage regulator and the load if the measured voltage in the OOB area above the in-band area, and utilizing the measured voltage to lower the voltage at the load if there are no available taps. The method also includes utilizing the measured voltage less the line voltage drop to determine the tap change if there are available taps.
