摘要:
Transformer differential protection is provided by measuring a plurality of currents corresponding to a first set of windings and a second set of windings of a transformer, and compensating the currents based on their respective flows through either the first set of windings or the second set of windings. The compensated currents may be intentionally augmented to compensate for magnetizing inrush and/or stationary overexcitation conditions associated with the transformer. Augmentation based on stationary overexcitation, for example, may be based on either harmonic restraint or an addition of a V/Hz ratio to a restraining signal. A complex current ratio is calculated corresponding to the plurality of compensated currents. The complex current ratio may be based on a two-terminal equivalent power apparatus. Then, an alpha plane analysis is applied to the complex current ratio. Based on the alpha plane analysis, a power apparatus that includes the transformer is selectively tripped.

A system and method are provided for correction of parameters used in determination of stator turn faults of an induction motor. An embodiment may include determining a residual impedance and/or a residual voltage of the motor, and correcting a normalized cross-coupled impedance based on the residual impedance and residual voltage. Additional embodiments may include measuring an operating temperature of the motor and determining a negative sequence impedance of the motor based on the temperature. Another embodiment may include measuring voltages and currents of the motor and determining phasors for the voltages and currents using compensation for variations from a nominal frequency of the motor.

A system and method for locating faults on multi-terminal power system transmission lines uses synchronized phasor measurements to accurately determine fault location and fault impedance regardless of fault type, fault resistance, and coupling to other adjacent power system transmission lines.
摘要:
A line current differential protection system that uses an external time reference continues providing protection to a power apparatus upon the loss of the external time reference. An external time reference synchronization mode and a channel based synchronization mode may be selectively applied on a per channel basis such that only those channels in the system that are not guaranteed to stay symmetrical use external time reference synchronization. When the external time reference is lost, fallback strategies may be used such as disabling or de-sensitizing the line current differential protection function, switching from the external time reference synchronization mode to a channel based synchronization mode with appropriately selected protection settings, and/or marking the channel as unavailable to isolate the system from the consequences of synchronization errors over this channel and instead using a master-slave mode with other available channels to continue providing line protection with the current differential system.
摘要:
A system and method for identifying turn faults in a stator of a motor are provided. The method includes determining a normalized cross-coupled impedance from the symmetrical components of measured voltages and currents of the motor. Additionally, the normalized cross-coupled impedance may be normalized to a negative sequence impedance. The negative sequence impedance may be determined through a regression analysis using parameters of the motor, such as line-to-line voltage, horsepower, and number of poles. A system is provided that includes a device having a memory and processor configured to determine a normalized cross-coupled impedance, compare the normalized cross-coupled impedance to one or more thresholds, and trigger and alarm and/or trip the motor.

A system for protection, control, metering, and monitoring of the delivery of electrical power is disclosed. Embodiments of the system provide input/output devices called bricks to receive analog and binary field data from primary equipment located in a power substation switchyard. The bricks are linked via fiber-optic patch cables and patch panels with one or more intelligent electronic devices (“IEDs”). In operation, the bricks convert the received binary and/or analog field data into digital signals, and transmit the digital signals synchronously to their associated IEDs using clock signals provided by each IED to the individual bricks. The bricks may accept a computer software code download from each of its master IED(s). Multiple code implementations, each tailored to the requirements of its master IED(s) can therefore co-exist on a single brick.
摘要:
A method of digitally correcting the raw output voltage from a Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) with the intent to remove transient components impacting on transient accuracy of protection function. A typical CVT is represented using three parameters in the linear CVT model. A digital filter designed based on the three parameters and incorporating a dedicated mechanism to ensure numerical stability of the former. A method of self-adjusting the said filter based on system events and performed after the method has been deployed in the field and supplied from a specific CVT.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to the transmission of data packets, and to systems and methods for improving the utilization of available bandwidth. In various embodiments, a transmitting device may calculate a first data integrity value based on the payload of a network packet and a static datum (e.g., sender identification information). The first data integrity value is transmitted with the network packet while the static datum is omitted. A receiving device may be configured to replace the omitted static datum upon receipt of the network packet. This static data is pre-configured in the receiving device or communicated using an alternative method. The receiving device may then calculate a second data integrity value based on the received network packet payload and the static datum. The second data integrity value may only match the first data integrity value if the transmitting device and receiving device use the same static datum.
