Divergence Distance Based Index for Discriminating Inrush and Internal Fault Currents in Power Transformers

Internal Fault/ Inrush Currents Discrimination Based on Fuzzy/ Wavelet Transform in Power Transformers

Transformers are major elements of any power systems. Normally they must be properly protected by differential relays. This protection system should be precise and reliable via implementation of strong algorithms that able to differentiate between faulted and unfaulted condition to fully grantee of power continuity. This system should be able to detect the non-faulted condition, such as inrush ...

A NEURO-FUZZY TECHNIQUE FOR DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN INTERNAL FAULTS AND MAGNETIZING INRUSH CURRENTS IN TRANSFORMERS

This paper presents the application of the fuzzy-neuro method toinvestigate transformer inrush current. Recently, the frequency environment ofpower systems has been made more complicated and the magnitude of the secondharmonic in inrush current has been decreased because of the improvement of caststeel. Therefore, traditional approaches will likely mal-operate in the case ofmagnetizing inrush w...

Discrimination of Inrush from Fault Currents in Power Transformers Based on Equivalent Instantaneous Inductance Technique Coupled with Finite Element Method

The phenomenon of magnetizing inrush is a transient condition, which occurs primarily when a transformer is energized. The magnitude of inrush current may be as high as ten times or more times of transformer rated current that causes malfunction of protection system. So, for safe running of a transformer, it is necessary to distinguish inrush current from fault currents. In this paper, an equiv...

a novel approach for discrimination magnetizing inrush current and internal fault in power transformers based on neural network

one of the major problems that may occur in the differential protection systems of power transformers is mal-operation of the protection relays in sake of internal fault detection, because of similarity between this current and inrush current. this paper presents a novel approach for discriminating inrush current from internal fault in power transformers based on improved gravitational search a...
