    摘要: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for monitoring traveling waves in an electric power system. In various embodiments, a data acquisition subsystem may acquire electric power system signals. A traveling wave detection subsystem may detect two or more traveling waves based on the electric power system signals and determine a location of an event triggering the traveling waves. A traveling wave security subsystem may selectively generate a restraining signal based on the location of the event as within a blocking zone. A protection action subsystem may implement a protective action when the location is outside of a blocking zone. In various embodiments, a protective action will not be implemented for traveling waves launched from known locations of switching devices operating normally. Further, protective actions may be restrained if a magnitude of a traveling wave differs from an expected value based on a pre-fault voltage.

    摘要: Systems and methods for facilitating selected communications among primary protection relays using a supervisory system with a configurable input/output (IO) map. Primary protection relays may obtain signals from equipment associated with an electric power delivery system and provide primary protection without need for communication. The primary protection relays may communicate a unique identifier as well as signal values, states, and commands to the supervisory system. The supervisory system may route specifically identified communications among primary protection relays in accordance with a configurable IO map by transmitting selected portions of the communications on a port associated with the receiving primary protection relay. The primary protection relays may perform secondary protection and other operations using the communicated information.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to detecting manipulation or spoofing of a time based on a latency of a communication system. In one embodiment, a system includes a time input to receive a time signal. The system includes a first interface to receive a first representation of a first condition at a first location at a first time and a second interface to receive a second representation of a second condition at a second location and at the first time. A latency determination subsystem may determine a latency based on a comparison of the time of arrival of the second measurement and the first time. A threshold subsystem may generate an indication of whether the latency satisfies a threshold. An anomalous condition subsystem may identify an anomalous condition based on the indication, and a remedial action may be implemented based on the anomalous condition.
