The fault current levels through the electric devices have a significant impact on failure probability. New fault current results in exceeding the rated capacity of circuit breaker and switching equipments and changes operation characteristic of overcurrent relay. In order to solve these problems, SFCL (Superconducting Fault Current Limiter) has rising as one of new alternatives so as to improv...

The history associated with fault occurred in power system can be effectively used as a strong database. This database will act as the trainer to the fuzzy expert system. A rich history of faulty area will enhance the performance of the fuzzy fault ...

In this paper, performance evaluation of different schemes for location of fault in series compensated transmission lines are presented. A fault location algorithm using two end measurements and another fault location algorithm using one end measurements for transmission lines with series compensator at midpoint are simulated and results are obtained. Both the schemes are compared on the basis ...

This paper presents a dynamic technique for predicting the e ect that a \location" of a program will have on the program's computational behavior. The technique is based on the three necessary and su cient conditions for software failure to occur: (1) a fault must be executed, (2) the fault must adversely a ect the data state, and (3) the adverse e ect in a data state must a ect program output....
