The negative sequence percentage differential current (NSPD) and extended park vectors approach (EPVA) are the two most promising methods for detection of the TTF inception. In this paper, in order to evaluate the performance of these methods, various experimental tests are carried out to detect the TTF initiation on the winding of the transformer under different operating conditions such as: no-load operation, when an external fault or an open conductor fault is also occurred. The results show that the setting of the proper thresholds plays the main role in the reliable and secure performance of NSPD and EPVA-based methods. Moreover, the experimental results verify that the selection of a fixed threshold for these detection methods can be very difficult. Even if the adjustment of the fixed threshold is possible, it may endanger the reliable and secure performance of the related protection methods.","PeriodicalId":173653,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Protection and Automation of Power System (IPAPS)","volume":"465 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125826935","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}

Embedded systems which are computing machines for special purposes like those utilized in high-tech devices, smart buildings, aircraft, and vehicles including advanced controllers, sensors, and meters with the ability of information exchange using IT infrastructures. The phrase \"internet\", in this context, does not exclusively refer to the World Wide Web rather than any type of server-based or peer-to-peer networks. In this study, the application of IoT in smart grids is addressed. Hence, at first, an introduction to the necessity of deployment of IoT in smart grids is presented. Afterwards, the applications of IoT in three levels of generation, transmission, and distribution is proposed. The generation level is composed of applications of IoT in renewable energy resources, wind and solar in particular, thermal generation, and energy storage facilities. The deployment of IoT in transmission level deals with congestion management in power system and guarantees the security of the system. In the distribution level, the implications of IoT in active distribution networks, smart cities, microgrids, smart buildings, and industrial sector are evaluated.","PeriodicalId":173653,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Protection and Automation of Power System (IPAPS)","volume":"23 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125784491","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}

However, a major part of protective relays problems come from their hidden failures. Hidden failures are not detected in the normal network state. They will be detected when an error occurs in a power grid where a relay malfunctions. This can make the power grid unstable. To prevent such an occurrence, protective relays need to be tested periodically. Such tests are very time-consuming and costly especially in remote substations. Based on the Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), a new method is proposed in this paper for remote relay testing. This method allows a technician to test a relay remotely. In addition to low-level tests (such as shot test), the proposed method can carry out transient tests. The proposed method is implemented thoroughly on an AMT-105, a relay tester made by Vebko Amirkabir Company. Then the applicability of the proposed method was tested and analyzed completely using a distance relay of a real-life substation.","PeriodicalId":173653,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Protection and Automation of Power System (IPAPS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121153532","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}

This paper proposes a method for fault detection in microgrids using data mining patterns and classification algorithms. For this reason, several short circuit fault and no-fault cases (i.e. load switching, motor starting and transformer energization) are generated and one cycle of the voltage and current signals is preprocessed by wavelet packet transform (WPT). The main features of voltage and current signals are extracted using detailed coefficients of the WPT. For discriminating faults from no-fault events, two different classifiers (i.e. random forest (RF) and K-nearest neighbors (K-NN)) are utilized. To improve the classifiers accuracy or reduce data storage requirements of relays, two filter based feature selection methods are applied on feature vector for choosing the most relevant features. For evaluating the performance of the complete and reduced feature vectors, the standard IEC microgrid is simulated for both islanded and grid connected modes of operation with meshed and radial structures. Test results show the effectiveness of the proposed method for fault detection.","PeriodicalId":173653,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Protection and Automation of Power System (IPAPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129162306","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}

Further, it is concluded that by applying the proposed method, the harmonics produced by converters don’t affect the over-current relay operation. The simulation studies performed in PSCAD/EMTDC software compare the main harmonic amplitude with the other harmonics amplitude. It is deduced that the harmonic orders more than the main harmonic have higher amplitudes. Thus, all harmonics amplitude must be considered in the current calculation.

The network topology may alter because of uncertainties such as transient and permanent faults or the operator’s mistake. The uncertainty increases the number of constraints that may be violated, and this issue complicates the solution algorithm. In this paper, a new objective function and a novel hybrid method are proposed based on multi-objective optimization considering simultaneous uncertainty by the genetic algorithm (GA) and network data analysis.

In this paper, a new method is introduced to detect the fault direction. The proposed method applies a novel criterion, which is called superimposed impedance. This criterion is derived from the instantaneous voltage and current samples in the power system and indicates the fault direction properly. The proposed method is tested on a sample network through simulating in PSCAD/EMTDC and the results are plotted in MATLAB.
