摘要:
A method for transmitting measurement data includes receiving measurement data in a first communication module, time stamping the measurement data in the first module with a time tag, transmitting the measurement data to a second communication module via a packet switched data network, and outputting the transmitted measurement data after a predefined delay time ΔtD after the time stamping of the measurement data.

Systems and methods for fault detection and protection in electric power systems that evaluates electromagnetic transients caused by faults. A fault can be detected using sampled data from a first monitored point in the power system. Detection of fault transients and associated characteristics, including transient direction, can also be extracted through evaluation of sample data from other monitored points in the power system. A monitoring device can evaluate whether to trip a switching device in response to the detection of the fault and based on confirmation of an indication of detection of fault transients at the other monitored points of the power system. The determination of whether to trip or activate the switching device can also be based on other factors, including the timing of receipt of an indication of the detection of the fault transients and/or an evaluation of the characteristics of the detected transients.

A protection and control system includes a first merging unit which obtains an electric variable from a transformer installed in an electric power system, and digitally converts the obtained electric variable to output the converted electric as first electric variable information to a network, and a plurality of protection and control devices, each of which obtains the first electric variable information from the first merging unit through the network, judges whether or not a system fault occurs in a zone to be protected of the electric power system based on a predetermined relay characteristic, and outputs main trip information to the network when that the system fault occurs is judged, wherein the first merging unit judges whether or not the system fault occurs in the zone to be protected.
摘要:
Methods and systems for detecting a falling power line in a power transmission or distribution system are described. Electrical measurements at various points in the power distribution system are used to detect changes in a power line indicating that the conductor has broken or become disconnected. Upon detection, control mechanisms are used to deenergize the conductor while the conductor is falling and/or before it contacts the ground.

In one example, a method includes receiving, by a power switching device and via a connector of the power switching device, a signal that causes the power switching device to transition from a first operating mode to a second operating mode in which the power switching device consumes less current than the first operating mode. In this example, the method also includes, responsive to determining, while the power switching device is in the second operating mode, an occurrence of one or more events, outputting, by the power switching device and via the same connector of the power switching device, a signal that indicates the occurrence of the one or more events.

A method for detecting and locating faulty line on the distribution network circuit based on full waveform information, which uses the current data on the fault occurrence and whole-process operation of the compensation device to effectively solve such common problems as low fault current, poor reliability and low sensitivity in case of single-phase grounding fault to the low-current system through precise GPS synchronization. It improves the sensitivity and reliability of the grounding fault detection, which does not interfere with the system and is applicable to high-resistance grounding.

Disclosed are adaptive communication assisted protection and control. Local intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) associated with local switching devices and having unique IDs may transmit switch status and unique IDs to an area IED. The area IED may calculate topology using switch status, and provide control information to local IEDs using the topology. The area IED may communicate the unique ID of the local IED calculated to be immediately upstream of each local IED and, upon detection of a fault, the local IEDs may send blocking signals that include the received unique ID of the IED immediately upstream therefrom. The area IED may communicate control commands that include the unique IDs and control commands for the local IEDs to take the control action. Upon matching of the unique ID in the control command with its own unique ID, the local IEDs may take the control action and transmit remaining actions.
