HVDC can provide frequency regulation during disturbances (e.g., faults) by controlling the power flow between two remote AC areas. While this action reduces deviation in area affected disturbance, it causes a imbalance other healthy area, leading to variation and endangering system stability. In work, primary voltage-dependent loads (PFR-VDL) is proposed, where terminal influences grid voltage...

This paper presents a method for diagnosis of eccentricity fault in a switched-reluctance motor (SRM) during offline and standstill modes. In this method, the fault signature is differential induced voltage (DIV) achieved by injecting diagnostic pulses to the motor windings. It will be demonstrated by means of results that there is a correlation between differential induced voltage and eccentri...

Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...

superconductor fault current limiter (sfcl) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. this paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  appropriate location and type of the limiters in a hv substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. study system is simulated by...

This paper presents a novel fault location method for series compensated transmission lines. It is established based on synchronized voltages sampling and Thevenin impedance from both ends of series compensated transmission line. The method is based on the use of phasor measurement units (PMU) technology which is aimed to be independent of current measurements, fault type, fault resistance, fau...

In this paper, a new fast and accurate method for fault detection, location, and classification on multi-terminal DC (MTDC) distribution networks connected to renewable energy and energy storages presented. MTDC networks develop due to some issues such as DC resources and loads expanding, and try to the power quality increasing. It is important to recognize the fault type and location in order ...
