Reliability of Microprocessor–based Protective Devices –– Revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
The article is a continuation of a set of the author’s previous publications about the reliability of the microprocessorbased protective devices. The statistical data introduced by the author coincide with data of other authors and confirm higher reliability of electromechanical relays in comparison with microprocessor-based. The inadequacy of the criterion for estimating the reliability of the protective relay is noted and a new normalized criterion for such estimation is offered by author.

A Microprocessor-Based Hybrid Duplex Fault-Tolerant System
Reliability is one of the fundamental considerations in the design of industrial control equipment. The microprocessor-based Hybrid Duplex fault-tolerant System (HDS) proposed in this paper has high reliability to meet this demand although its hardware structure is simple. The hardware configuration of HDS and the fault tolerance of this system are described. The switching control strategies in...
متن کاملReliability of Microprocessor-Based Relay Protection Devices: Myths and Reality
The article examines four basic theses about the ostensibly extremely high reliability of microprocessor-based relay protection (MP) touted by supporters of MP. Through detailed analysis based on many references it is shown that the basis of these theses are widespread myths, and actually MP reliability is lower than the reliability of electromechanical and electronic protective relays on discr...

Electric Utilities Company of Nigeria (EUCN) have traditionally used electromechanical (EMR) distance relays for the protection of transmission lines in the past, and many such relays are still in use in power systems today. In this paper, microprocessor-based protective relays (MPBRs) applications in the Nigeria power systems protection were investigated. This paper evaluates the performance o...
متن کاملReliability of microprocessor-based relay protection devices - myths and reality
Malfunction of relay protection is one of the main causes of the serious failures that periodically occur in power systems all over the world. According to the North American Electric Reliability Council [1] in 74 % cases the reason for heavy failures in power systems was the incorrect actions of relay protection in trying to avoid the failure. Thus the reliability of a power system depends on ...
