Investigation Of Protection Issues And Method For The Distribution System With Distributed Generations, Ke Xu Jan 2014

Investigation Of Protection Issues And Method For The Distribution System With Distributed Generations, Ke Xu

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

Because DGs are introduced into distribution systems, the coordination of fuses and reclosers doesn’t work well. It means the original protection schemes are not available for the distribution systems with DGs. This thesis paper presents the study on the impacts of DGs on the fault current and voltage in the distribution system by the simulation of a model distribution system. After we study the impacts of DG on distribution systems, there is an introduction of current several current protection schemes and fault locations methods. At last, an adaptive protection scheme with a more efficient fault location method for the distribution …


Single Ended Traveling Wave Based Fault Location Using Discrete Wavelet Transform, Jin Chang Jan 2014

Single Ended Traveling Wave Based Fault Location Using Discrete Wavelet Transform, Jin Chang

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

In power transmission systems, locating faults is an essential technology. When a fault occurs on a transmission line, it will affect the whole power system. To find the fault location accurately and promptly is required to ensure the power supply. In this paper, the study of traveling wave theory, fault location method, Karrenbauer transform, and Wavelet transform is presented. This thesis focuses on single ended fault location method. The signal processing technique and evaluation study are presented. The MATLAB SimPowerSystem is used to test and simulate fault scenarios for evaluation studies.
