    摘要: A method for correcting protection settings in a relay provided in a micro-grid between a grid-connected settings group when the micro-grid is electrically coupled to a utility grid and an islanded settings group when the micro-grid is disconnected from the utility grid. The method determines whether the micro-grid is connected to the utility grid and what settings group the relay is in. The method changes the settings group of the relay to the grid-connected settings group if a time that the micro-grid is connected to the utility grid and the relay is in the islanded settings group exceeds a predetermined time and changes the settings group of the relay to the islanded settings group if the time that the micro-grid is not connected to the utility grid and the relay is in the grid-connected settings group exceeds the predetermined time.

    摘要: Method and system allowing more accurate detection and identification of unwanted arcing include novel processing of signal voltage representing recovered power-line current. In one implementation, arc-faults are detected based on numerical analysis where individual cycles of line voltage and current are observed and data collected during each cycle is processed to estimate likelihood of presence of arc-event within each individual cycle based on pre-defined number of arc-events occurring within pre-defined number of contiguous cycles. In another implementation, fast transient current spikes detection can be done by: computing difference values between consecutive line-current samples collected over a cycle, average of differences, and peak-to-peak value of line-current; comparing each difference value to average of difference; comparing each difference value to peak-to-peak value; and, based on calculation of composite of two comparisons, using thresholds to determine if arcing is present within processed cycle.

    摘要: A method of current differential protection performed in a control device is disclosed, wherein the control device has a first operate-restrain characteristic with a differential characteristic pick-up setting ID. The method includes: determining currents of all terminals of a protected object; determining a differential current based on the determined currents; determining direct current, DC, components in the respective determined currents; detecting a fault; and adjusting, for a detected external fault, the operate-restrain characteristics by setting an adjusted differential characteristic pick-up setting ID_adj to be equal to the sum of the differential characteristic pick-up setting ID and the determined DC components, providing an adapted operate-restrain characteristics. Corresponding control device, computer program and computer program product are also disclosed.
