摘要:
A method of detecting faults on a power transmission line system includes simultaneously measuring phase current samples at each phase of each transmission terminal; calculating real and imaginary phaselets comprising partial sums of the phase current samples; for each phaselet, calculating a respective partial sum of squares of each phase current sample; calculating the sums of the real and imaginary phaselets over a variable size sliding sample window; calculating real and imaginary phasor components from the phaselets and a sum of the partial sums of the squares over the sample window; using the sums of the real and imaginary phaselets, the real and imaginary phasor components, and the sum of the partial sums of the squares to calculate a sum of squares of errors between the phase current samples and a fitted sine wave representative of the real and imaginary phasor components; using the sum of squares of errors to calculate a variance matrix defining an elliptical uncertainty region; determining whether a disturbance has occurred, and, if so, re-initializing the sample window; and determining whether a sum of current phasors from each terminal for a respective phase falls outside of the elliptical uncertainty region for the respective phase.
摘要:
Statistical methods of partial discharge analysis utilizing histogram similarity measures are provided by quality assessment and condition monitoring methods of evaluating high voltage electrical insulation. The quality assessment method is utilized to evaluate the quality of insulation within the electrical equipment. The condition monitoring method is utilized during normal operation of the equipment to identify degradation in the insulation and to predict catastrophic insulation failures.
