abstract

protection systems have vital role in network reliability in short circuit mode and proper operating for relays. current transformer often in transient and saturation under short circuit mode causes mal-operation of relays which will have undesirable effects. therefore, proper and quick identification of current transformer saturation is so important. in this paper, an artificial neural network (ann) which is trained by two different swarm based algorithms; gravitational search algorithm (gsa) and particle swarm optimization (pso) have been used to discriminate between current transformer saturation and fault currents in power transformers. in fact, gsa operates based on gravity law and in opposite of other swarm based algorithms, particles have identity and pso is based on behaviors of bird flocking. proposed approach has two general stages. in first step, obtained data from simulation have been processed and applied to an ann, and then in second step, using training data considered ann has been trained by gsa & pso. finally, a proposed technique has been compared with one of the common training approach which is called genetic algorithm (ga).

Power Transformer Incipient Faults Monitoring

Power transformers are important and expensive components in the electric power system. The knowledge of the actual status of the transformer insulation behavior, load tap changer performance, temperature, and load condition is necessary in order to evaluate the service performance concerning reliability, availability and safety. Systems abnormalities, loading, switching and ambient condition n...

Characterization of Power Transformer Electromagnetic Forces Affected by Winding Faults

Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...

A New Restricted Earth Fault Relay Based on Artificial Intelligence

The restricted earth fault (REF) relay is a type of differential protection which is used for detection of internal ground faults of power transformers. But, during external faults and transformer energization conditions, the probability of current transformer (CT) saturation increases. Thus, the spurious differential current due to CT saturation, can lead to REF relay maloperation. In this pap...
