Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for monitoring electrical arc events in an electric power system. In one embodiment, a system may comprise an arc flash detection (AFD) unit to detect electromagnetic radiation generated by an electrical arc event, a primary protection relay to generate measurements of an electric current, and an integrator. In various embodiments, the integrator may comprise a communication port to receive the detection of the electrical arc event and the measurements of the electric current. The integrator may also comprise a processing subsystem to validate the detection of the electrical arc and generate protective actions to interrupt the flow of the current to the electrical arc event.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for time aligning electric power system measurements at an intelligent electronic device (IED) using samples and sample time offset from merging units. The merging units do not require access to a common time signal. The IED does not require storage of a communication latency with the merging units. The sample time offset corresponds to a latency between obtaining the sample and receipt of the sample at the IED. The IED aligns samples from various merging units using sample time offset values communicated from the merging units to the IED. The IED performs monitoring and protection functions using the time aligned samples.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for generating a virtual display using a unidirectional communication channel. In one embodiment, a system may comprise a transmitting device including a processing subsystem to generate a representation of an encoded signal comprising information to be displayed on a virtual display. A virtual display transmission subsystem may transmit the encoded signal. A receiving device may comprise a virtual display reception subsystem to receive the encoded signal. A processing subsystem may extract the information to be displayed on the virtual display from the encoded signal and generate a representation of the virtual display. A virtual display subsystem may display the representation of the virtual display. The virtual display transmission subsystem and the virtual display reception subsystem may create a unidirectional communication channel from the transmitting device to the receiving device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for creating a data tunnel to communicate test data in a test configuration in an electric power system. In one embodiment, a remote unit may include a monitored equipment interface to receive information representative of a condition in the electric power system from a test set and a first test data port to communicate test data through the data tunnel in the test configuration. The remote unit may use a first communication subsystem to generate and transmit a stream of data packets comprising information from the monitored equipment interface and information from the first test data port to be routed through the data tunnel. A protection system may receive the stream of data packets from the first communication subsystem and separate information from the monitored equipment interface and information from the test data routed through the data tunnel.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to devices, systems, and methods for monitoring an electric power system. In one embodiment, a system may detect a failure in an electric power system. The system may include a communication interface to receive a first indication related to a condition in the electric power system, and a second indication related to the condition. The system may also include a test subsystem to compare the first indication to the second indication and to determine a discrepancy between the first indication and the second indication. A diagnostic subsystem may identify the failure based on the discrepancy between the first indication and the second indication. An alert subsystem may generate an alert based on the failure.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods include protective functions in an electrical power system. For example, a processing subsystem may include a first processor and a second processor. The first processor and the second processor may operate independently. A memory subsystem may comprise a first memory section and a second memory section. A memory management subsystem may enable memory access between the first processor and the first memory section and disable memory access between the first processor and the second memory section. The memory management subsystem may further enable memory access between the second processor and the second memory section and disable memory access between the second processor and the first memory section. A protection subsystem may include the first processor and the first memory section and enable a protection function. The second processor and the second memory section may provide a second function that operates independently of the protection function.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods to verify information received from a merging unit. In one embodiment, a system may include a merging unit interface comprising a port configured to communicate with the merging unit. The system may include a commissioning subsystem to receive a unique identifier (“UID”) associated with the merging unit using the port during a commissioning process, to store the UID associated with the merging unit, and to associate the UID with the port. In operation, a verification subsystem may receive a plurality of transmissions from the merging unit and verify that the plurality of transmissions originated from the merging unit based on matching the UID stored in the commissioning process with the UID in the plurality of transmissions, and confirming that the plurality of transmissions is received through the port associated with the UID.
