In this paper, a robust method combining the deep-learning technique, image-transfer, with finite-element-modeling (FEM) in the electric machine optimization to accelerate the convergence is proposed. Specifically, a conditional generative-adversarial network is built to learn from the FEM simulated data about the relationship between the geometric drawing input and magnetic field plot output. The learned model can obtain the result 24x faster than finite-element modeling while maintaining the accuracy. This approximation model is then applied as the sample filter prior to the FEM in the genetic-algorithm powered optimization framework. The test done on a V-shape magnet motor optimization shows that closely matched Pareto-frontier can be found by this approach while the computing time is reduced by >50% at beginning stage for acceleration.","PeriodicalId":332414,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 61th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123946519","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}

The HIF detector employing sequence components of current along with voltage is proposed in this paper. The proposed HIF detector composed of two components i.e. current HIF detector and voltage HIF detector, in conjunction with existing distribution network set up. The first component analyzes current sequence components when fault appears in the network whereas later analyzes voltage sequence components. The current HIF detector operates when, significant amount of zero and negative sequence components starts appearing in the network. On the other hand, voltage HIF detector assists the current HIF detector in confirming the HIF state by examining the negative voltage sequence component. The performance of combined detector is evaluated by inducing high impedance fault at different nodes on the IEEE-6-bus radial balanced distribution system. The proposed detector makes use of only current and voltage of the system for HIF detection and doesn't require any additional feature extraction phase. The HIF detector in the proposed paper requires only one unit of sequence converter. Now, sequence components coming out from sequence converter are fed to HIF relay logic which is used in conjunction with existing over-current relay. Hence, this detector is cost effective as compared with the different HIF detectors presented in literature. The proposed method is simulated in a simulation environment. This method is fast and reliable as it detects the fault within one cycle.","PeriodicalId":332414,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 61th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125774699","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}

Wherein, XLPE cables require a precise calculation of geometrical parameters of their laying, identification of optimal sheath grounding and phase transposition, etc. For example, close cable spacing may lead to thermal damages of all cores after single-phase short circuits. In its turn, the cable sheath transposition allows transfer capacity increasing, which is critical in grids of metropolises.

The paper studies the possibility to use population-based optimization algorithms (Genetic Algorithm, Differential Evolution, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Ant Colony Optimization). To meet the state observability requirements, the repair procedure is incorporated in the population-based algorithms. This allows to overcome the drawbacks in the existing methods based on the assumption of a priory observability of the power system and to take into account the system contingencies such as the phasor failures, the PMU losses, and the branch outages. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of the PMU placement design's efficiency and computation efforts through the numerical simulations on a standard IEEE 118-bus system.","PeriodicalId":332414,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 61th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127928914","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}
