Abstract:

This paper presents a distance protection test procedure by applying the Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) of a power system. RTDS is a tool to design, develop, and test power-system protection. The RTDS enables real-time computation of electromagnetic phenomena with a calculation time step of even 50μs. The hardware allows the import and export of many signals from the simulator to an external real power-system component and, therefore, the so-called closed-loop testing. With this method, it is possible to get an insight into both the elements’ behaviour and the influence of these components on the power-system operation. The testing of a very simple impedance-protection function by the Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories protection relay is explained. Moreover, the effects of a DC offset have been tested on this relay. The test results emphasize the advantage of the RTDS for the determination of actual power-system components’ behaviour in various power-system conditions. The RTDS software, i.e. RSCAD, is used to simulate the power system models.

Process Identification Using Open-loop and Closed-loop Step Responses

This paper is concerned with process identification by curve fitting step responses. Both open-loop and closed-loop identification are studied using simulated data for typical examples as well as experimental data from a laboratory plate heat exchanger. Timedomain curve fitting utilizing efficient local optimization techniques is employed to find the parameters of the process model. Process mod...

Robust Pid Tuning Using Closed-loop Identification

Identification based PID tuning is studied. The proposed approach consists of the identification of linear or nonlinear process model and model based control design. The identification test can be performed in both open loop and closed-loop. The so-called ASYM method is used to solve the identification problem. The method identifies a low order process model with a quantification of model error...

Subspace Identification using Closed-Loop Data

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how different subspace identification methods cope with closed loop data, and how the controller parameters affect the quality of the acquired models. Three different subspace methods were subject for investigation; the MOESPmethod, theN4SIDmethod and theDSR_emethod. It is shown through a simulation example that all three subspace methods will ident...

Closed-Loop Object Recognition Using Reinforcement Learning

Current computer vision systems whose basic methodology is open-loop or filter type typically use image segmentation followed by object recognition algorithms. These systems are not robust for most real-world applications. In contrast, the system presented here achieves robust performance by using reinforcement learning to induce a mapping from input images to corresponding segmentation paramet...
