The large-scale power system blackouts have indicated that conventional protection relays that based on local signals cannot fit for modern power grids with complicated setting or heavily loaded-flow transfer. In order to accurately detect various faulted lines and improve the fault-tolerance of wide-area protection, a novel multi-section weighed fault matching and detecting algorithm is proposed. The real protection vector (RPV) and expected section protection vectors (ESPVs) for five fault sections are constructed respectively. The function of multi-section weighed fault matching is established to calculate the section fault matching degrees between RPV and five ESPVs. Then the fault degree of protected line based on five section fault degrees can be obtained. Two fault detecting criterions are given to support the higher accuracy rate of detecting fault. With the enumerating method, the simulation tests illustrate the correctness and fault-tolerance of proposed algorithm. It can reach the target of 100% accuracy rate under 5 bits error of wide-area protections. The influence factors of fault-tolerance are analyzed, which include the choosing of wide-area protections, as well as the topological structures of power grid and fault threshold.

Aerospace Launch Vehicles (ALV) are generally designed with high reliability to operate in complete security through fault avoidance practices. However, in spite of such precaution, fault occurring is inevitable. Hence, there is a requirement for on-board fault recovery without significant degradation in the ALV performance. The present study develops an advanced fault recovery strategy to improve the reliability of an Aerospace Launch Vehicle (ALV) navigation system. The proposed strategy contains fault detection features and can reconfigure the system against common faults in the ALV navigation system. For this purpose, fault recovery system is constructed to detect and reconfigure normal navigation faults based on the sliding mode observer (SMO) theory. In the face of pitch channel sensor failure, the original gyro faults are reconstructed using SMO theory and by correcting the faulty measurement, the pitch-rate gyroscope output is constructed to provide fault tolerant navigation solution. The novel aspect of the paper is employing SMO as an online tuning of analytical fault recovery solution against unforeseen variations due to its hardware/software property. In this regard, a nonlinear model of the ALV is simulated using specific navigation failures and the results verified the feasibility of the proposed system. Simulation results and sensitivity analysis show that the proposed techniques can produce more effective estimation results than those of the previous techniques, against sensor failures.

The rapid and correct isolation of faulty submodules (SMs) is of great importance for improving the reliability of modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Therefore, a fast diagnosis method containing fault detection and fault location determination was presented in this paper. An improved incremental predictive model of arm current was proposed to detect failures, and the multi-step prediction method was used to eliminate the negative impact of disturbances. Moreover, a control method was proposed to strengthen the fault characteristics to rapidly locate faulty arms and faulty SMs by detecting the variation rate of the SM capacitor voltage. The proposed method can rapidly and easily locate faulty SMs under different load conditions without the need for additional sensors. The experimental results have validated the effectiveness of the proposed method by using a single-phase MMC with four SMs per arm.

LASAR (logic automated stimulus and response) 소프트웨어는 디지털 전자 회로 카드에 대한 로직 기능시험 및 고장검출을 위한 자동점검프로그램 개발도구이다. LASAR 소프트웨어는 소자의 논리회로 기능 및 입·출력 정의된 정보가 필요하다. 소자 정보가 없으면 정상적인 부품 모델링이 불가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 소자 정보가 없는 PLD (programmable logic device) 소자를 역설계 방법을 통하여 부품 모델링을 수행한다. 개발된 LASAR 프로그램은 고장 시뮬레이션 결과와 단일 고착 고장삽입 방법을 통해 고장 검출율을 확인하였다. 고장 검출율은 기존의 제한적인 모델링은 91%, 역설계를 통한 모델링은 94%로 3% 상승하였다. 또한, EP 310 PLD 소자에 대한 입·출력핀에 대한 22가지 고착결함의 경우 100% 검출하여 양호한 성능을 확인하였다.

This Paper presents a high impedance fault (HIF) detection algorithm of distribution systems using wavelet transform. Two HIFs on dry soil and sandy soil were simulated on various load conditions in 22.9 kV distribution systems using EMTP, and the current wavelets were decomposed by wavelet transform. The current root mean square(rms) change, the index change rate and the relative amplitude change were used as the multi-criteria for a HIF detection. The index change rate and the relative amplitude were made using the wavelet coefficients.

이 논문에서는 STDR(sequence time-domain reflectometry)이나 SSTDR(spread-spectrum time-domain reflectometry) 방식에서 인가 신호 제거 기법을 사용하여 케이블의 고장 위치를 탐지할 때, 제거기 앞단에 부호기(sign detector)를 추가하여 복원된 부호를 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 케이블 선로나 측정 회로에 의해 변형된 신호를 수열의 형태로 복원시킨 후 제거하기 때문에 부호기를 쓰지 않은 경우보다 인가 신호 부분을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있고, 결과적으로 고장에 의한 반사 신호 부분의 탐지 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 특히, 원거리 고장에서 제안한 고장 탐지 기법이 기존의 기법에 비해 오탐지율을 크게 낮출 수 있음을 모의실험으로 보였다.

This paper proposes a new non-homogeneous Poisson process software reliability growth model based on the coverage information. The new model incorporates the coverage information in the fault detection process by assuming that only the faults in the covered constructs are detectable. Since the coverage growth behavior depends on the testing strategy, the fault detection process is first modeled for the general testing strategy and then realized for the uniform testing. Finally the model for the uniform testing is empirically evaluated by applying it to real data sets.
