In turn, precise localisation of the damaged sections of the overhead power lines is a challenging task, as external inspection of power lines takes a lot of time, effort and resources, depending on the surrounding conditions or the access difficulty of the lines. The present paper proposes to apply the theory of using the property of long lines - to increase the voltage at the open-circuit, when the length of a transmission is quarter of a wavelength. The analysis of the conducted research has shown that the higher harmonics generated by the arcing fault on certain frequency serve as a source of voltage increase at the step-down substation. In addition, frequency and amplitude of the \"resonance\" harmonics allow identifying the damaged area of the power line in the electrical grids with tree-like topology.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130741473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With growing demands in power system it is necessary to have a speedy and reliable protection module which should quickly initiate the tripping during internal faults and should be stable to avoid tripping during inrush, over excitation and external faults. The work reported in this paper demonstrates the use of Fuzzy Logic code written in 16-bit Digital Signal controller (dsPIC DSC) for implementation of percentage differential Relay with inrush detector as a part of Power Transformer protection. There is flexibility to generate various percentage bias characteristics having varying slope and capability to discriminate Inrush and fault Currents to avoid false tripping. The laboratory model is developed to test Differential relay with real time signals replacing CTs' by Current Transducers LEM-HXS in primary and secondary of three phase transformer interfaced with Digital signal controller which acts as a Differential relay controlled by Fuzzy Logic Code in C. The performance of this Adaptable Differential relay with stand alone model is having capacity to generate fast tripping signal with good accuracy.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132797438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proposed methodology is based on technological, economic, sociopolitical criteria analysis. From technical point of view, much attention is given to existing power system technical state assessment, including substation available capacity and distribution feeders' carrying capacity limits. In economic sense, except for direct relationship between economic and energy sector development rates, the approach provides for distributed generation installed capacity ranging in accordance with the sphere of its application, namely, the type of the enterprise and the field of industry. It is suitable to estimate to discover the total distributed generation installed capacity and to predict the main centers of distributed generation interconnection.

However, device performance requirements are not defined during transitions from one set of values to another. We investigated measuring across a transition. Our investigation revealed something interesting about ROCOF, the rate of change of frequency. We conclude that until power system noise is better understood, the attempt to measure real-world ROCOF during a short PMU measurement window should be abandoned, but measurements during calibration transitions might still be possible and need not be excluded from the standard.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120872341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
