Fault Detection Based on Hierarchical Cluster Analysis in Wide Area Backup Protection System

چکیده
In wide area backup protection of electric power systems, the prerequisite of protection device’s accurate, fast and reliable performance is its corresponding fault type and fault location can be discriminated quickly and defined exactly. In our study, global information will be introduced into the backup protection system. By analyzing and computing real-time PMU measurements, basing on cluster analysis theory, we are using mainly hierarchical cluster analysis to search after the statistical laws of electrical quantities’ marked changes. Then we carry out fast and exact detection of fault components and fault sections, and finally accomplish fault isolation. The facts show that the fault detection of fault component (fault section) can be performed successfully by hierarchical cluster analysis and calculation. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis are accurate and reliable, and the dendrograms of hierarchical cluster analysis are in intuition.

Power system protection at transmission and distribution levels based on overcurrent relays is essential based on their properties such as detection, stability, high speed, backup and error correction accuracy. Since distributed generation sources are connected to the power grid, they not only increase the short circuit level of the grid, but also disrupt the set point of main and backup relays...

In order to solve the problems of the existing wide-area backup protection (WABP) algorithms, the paper proposes a novel WABP algorithm based on the distribution characteristics of fault component current and improved Dempster/Shafer (D-S) evidence theory. When a fault occurs, slave substations transmit to master station the amplitudes of fault component currents of transmission lines which are...
