Abstract:
Technologies for producing training data for identifying degradation of physical components include a system. The system includes circuitry configured to apply an accelerated degradation process to a physical component of an industrial plant. Additionally, the circuitry of the system is configured to obtain measurement data indicative of visual characteristics of the physical component at each of multiple phases of degradation, wherein the measurement data is usable to train a neural network to identify a phase of degradation of another physical component.
Abstract:
Auto balancing transformers are disclosed for balancing a multi-phase electrical system by varying the degree of electromagnetic coupling between primary and secondary winding. The auto-balancing transformer includes a movable to selectively couple primary phases with two or fewer phases of the secondary system.
Abstract:
A method of handling a reclosing operation of a recloser in a power system subject to a fault. The method includes a) determining a fault current for each electrical phase, the fault current being determined by a difference between measured current values and a sinusoidal model of a current prior to the fault, bI) calculating a respective sinusoidal model of the fault current for each electrical phase using samples taken before the fault, bII) selecting two sinusoidal models with the largest amplitude to represent faulted electrical phases, bIII) calculating a plurality of sub-features based on the two models, and bIV) determining a main feature value based on the plurality of sub-features, bV) determining, based on the main feature value, whether a temporary fault is present, and c) providing control instructions that the recloser is to reclose in the event that the fault is a temporary fault.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, systems, and techniques for detecting and effecting countermeasures against cyber-attacks on networked electrical power system (NEPS) devices include a trusted cyber-attack detection (TCAD) component including pre-trained cyber-attack detection logic which receives a first input indicating a physical parameter of a NEPS device and a second input indicating a computational state of a computer system of the NEPS device, determines an attack metric in response to the plurality of inputs. The attack metric can indicate whether the NEPS device is in the process of being attacked or whether the NEPS device has been successfully attacked and has been compromised.
Abstract:
An intelligent fuse provides the operational status of the power network upon which the fuse is installed to a mobile device of a remote user. A fuse electronic circuit embedded in the fuse holder of the fuse captures the characteristic values of the power network and transmits the data to the mobile device. The mobile device has an application installed thereon to calculate the distance to fault location from the recording fuse using the fuse electronic circuit-captured data. The fuse electronic circuit-captured data is further used to visualize the data collected at the measurement points of the electrical system upon which the fuse is installed.

Abstract:
According to an embodiment of a power network device, the device includes a computer configured to estimate a plurality of parameters internal to a transformer, including estimating a turns ratio of the transformer. The computer performs the parameter estimation based on an equivalent circuit model of the transformer and current and voltage samples which correspond to current and voltage measurements taken at primary side and secondary side terminals of the transformer. The computer indicates when one or more of the estimated parameters deviates from a nominal value by more than a predetermined amount. The computer can be part of an intelligent electronic device configured to acquire analog or digital signals representing the primary side and secondary side current and voltage measurements, or located remotely from the intelligent electronic device e.g. in the control room or substation controller.
