In this paper, a new high resolution reflectometry scheme, time-frequency domain reflectometry(TFDR), isproposed to detect and estimate a fault in a transmission line. Traditional reflectometry methodologies have been achieved either in the time domain or in the frequency domain only. However, the TFDR can jump over the performance limits of the traditional reflectometry methodologies because the acquired signal is analyzed in time and frequency domain simultaneously. In the TFDR, the new reference signal and the novel TFDR algorithm are proposed for analyzing the acquired signal in the time-frequency domain. Because the reference signal of Gaussian envelop chirp signal is localized in the time and frequency domain simultaneously, it is suitable to the analysis in the time-frequency domain. In the proposed TFDR algorithm, the time-frequency distribution function and the normalized time-frequency cross correlation function are used to detect and estimate a fault in a transmission line. That algorithm is verified for real-world coaxial cables which are typical transmission line with different types of faults by the TFDR system composed of real instruments. The performance of the TFDR methodology is compared with that o( the commercial time domain reflectomeoy(TDR) experiments, so that concludes the TFDR methodology can detect and estimate the fault with smaller error than TDR methodology.

In this paper, we propose the fault-tolerant network-based mobility management scheme for supporting multimedia services of broadcasting & communications convergence in fixed mobile convergence (FMC) networks. The proposed scheme is based on AIMS (Access Independent Mobility Service) which is developed for the mobility support among heterogeneous access networks. To support stable location management and handover control for a MN, the proposed scheme supports stable management of binding information by sensing network attachment and detachment of a mobile node (MN). In addition, the proposed fault-tolerant (FT) AIMS supports a function of message retransmission for the support of handover control message and a function of heartbeat message transmission for the support of stable access network environments to a mobile node. We evaluate and analyze the performance of the proposed scheme through the implementation of AIMS system test-bed.

In this paper the development of new technique based on the travelling-wave information contained in the post fault voltage and current signals has been presented. To develop fault location methods which can cope with close-up fault and zero-inception angle problems, magnitude of the backward wave has been used. The technique developed can be incorporated in a generalized algorithm for application as a high speed distance scheme. In this way some of the problems and limitations associated with travelling wave schemes are avoided. Verification of the relay operating principles is presented through digital computer numerical simulation using an electromagnetic transient program(EMTP) in conjunction with simulation of the proposed algorithms.

In this paper, knowledge-based approach using Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for estimating the coordinated zonal settings of a distance relay. The approach depends on the detailed simulation studies of apparent impedance loci as seen by distance relay during disturbance, considering various operating conditions including fault resistance. In a distance relay, the impedance loci given at the relay location is obtained from extensive transient stability studies. SVMs are used as a pattern classifier for obtaining distance relay co-ordination. The scheme utilizes the apparent impedance values observed during a fault as inputs. An improved performance with the use of SVMs, keeping the reach when faced with different fault conditions as well as system power flow changes, are illustrated with an equivalent 265 bus system of a practical Indian Western Grid.

Nowadays as the power systems have been more complicated and have grown to ultra high voltage, it requires a accurate and high speed relaying scheme to improve the reliability and stability of power systems for a harmonious power supplying. For this purpose voltage and current have to be measured at the location of the protective device and the short circuit impedance must be determined. This paper presents the application methods and some results of digital distance relaying scheme which is based upon the theouy of real-time symmetrical components. Usually the symmetrical component have been used to solve the transient systems as well as the steady state systems under unbalanced systems. But, real-time symmetrical component frequently have not been applied to on-line control region of the large power system. We have tried to apply this method to deal with the various type of faults on artificial transmission line. And experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed techniques. Therefore, this study is expected that it is contributed to improve the reliability of power supplying, searching for the fault location rapidly and exactly in power system.

As power systems grow more complex and power demands increase, the fault current tends to gradually increase. In the near future, the fault current will exceed a circuit breaker rating for some substations, which is an especially important issue in the Seoul metropolitan area because of its highly meshed configuration. Currently, the Korean power system is regulated by changing the 154kV system configuration from a loop connection to a radial system, by splitting the bus where load balance can be achieved, and by upgrading the circuit breaker rating. A development project applying a 154kV Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) to 154kV transmission systems is proceeding with implementation slated for after 2010. In this paper, SFCL is applied to reduce the fault current in power systems according to two different application schemes and their technical and economic impacts are evaluated. The results indicate that both application schemes can regulate the fault current under the rating of circuit breaker, however, applying SFCL to the bus-tie location is much more appropriate from an economic view point.

This paper describes the implemenation of localization and visualization scheme to find out an ultrasonic source caused by defects of a power distribution line equipment. To increase the fault detection performance, $2{\times}4$ sensor array is configured with MEMS ultrasonic sensors, and from the sensor signals aquired, the azimuth and elevation angles of the ultrasonic source is estimated based on the delay-sum beam forming method. Also, to visualize the estimated location, it is marked on the background image. Experimental results show applicability of the present technique.

Recently, there has been growing interest in distributed resources with high-energy efficiency due to the increasing energy consumption and environmental pollution problems. But an insertion of new distributed generation to existing power distribution systems can cause several problems such as voltage variations, harmonics, protective coordination, increasing fault current etc. In this paper, a new method of the fault location identification at the distribution system with distributed resources, which can be determined by the magnitude and direction of the fault current, is proposed. In addition, a new online protective coordination scheme of recloser-sectionalizer is proposed based on the proposed fault location identification method for distribution system with distributed resources.

This paper presents the FIR filtering scheme for digital distance protection. In most faults, there exists severe oscillation of apparent impedance according to distortion in transient waveforms. In these cases, this scheme provides more accurate fault detection and fault location, as compared with conventional schemes for digital distance protection or Kalman filtering schemes. The test of these facts were performed on EMTP result data. For the real time implementation of the proposed schemes, the motorola DSP 56001 was used to the main calculation board of the digital protective relaying system.
