The sensor based control system has some sensor fault while operating in the field. In this paper, a sensor fault detection and reconstruction system for a sun tracking controller has been researched by using polynomial regression and principle component analysis approach. The developed sun tracking system controls tow actuators with sensor based mechanism as on-line control and sun orbit information as off-line control, alternatively. To show the validity of the developed system, several experiments were illustrated.

This paper describes a busbar current differential relay in conjunction with a current transformer(CT) compensating algorithm irrespective of the level of the remanent flux. The compensating algorithm detects the start of first saturation if the third-difference function of the current exceeds the threshold; it estimates the core flux at the first saturation start by inserting the negative value of the third-difference function of the current into the magnetization curve; thereafter, it calculates the core flux during the fault and compensates the distorted current using the magnetization curve. The algorithm estimates the correct secondary current irrespective of the level of the remanent flux and needs no saturation point of the magnetization curve. The proposed relay can improve not only security of the relay on an external fault with CT saturation but sensitivity of the relay on an internal fault; the relay can improve the operating speed on n internal fault with CT saturation. This paper concludes by implementing the relay into a digital signal processor based prototype relay.

Fault Detection of power system must be rapid and precise over input signal without relation to any disturbance. But, it is difficult to detect current unbalance, over voltage, and underfrequency for digital relay comparison of fault perfectly. In this paper, we measure each phase current and infer type of fault using fuzzy pattern classification.

This system can detect a ground fault point or a bad insulated line by measuring a power plant DC feeder insulation resistance at the uninterruptible power status. And when the power plant DC feeder with low frequency AC signal has a ground fault, this measuring system can keep recording of its ground fault current and phase checked by Z.C.T. Therefore the power plant could protect a unexpected service interruption.

This paper performs TDR real test for measurement of propagation velocity on #1 Pole of HVDC submarine cable section between Jeju and Haenam, and then measured velocity is compared with theoretical value and velocity provided from manufacturer. The measured velocity is also validated from theoretical process based on CIGRE simplified approach. In this paper, the fault location algorithm using multi-scale correlation of SWT(stationary wavelet transform) and travelling wave is additionally proposed for HVDC submarine cable system, it includes fault signal filter for noise cancellation. Finally, the measured velocity is validated from proposed fault location algorithm test once more.

In power transformers, vibration occurs at winding, core and case due to current, voltage, temperature changing and winding reformation. Winding deformation and change of vibration signals are occurred due to electromagnetic force induced by fault current. In this paper, in normal and fault states, the trends of fundamental waves and higher harmonics are considered. To inspect the factors that affect the fundamental waves and higher harmonics, the trends are considered with varying voltage and load. Determination functions are generated and applied to signals so that normal and fault state are determined by determination functions.

Digital reactor protection system which consists of many identical modules, is fault- tolerant to provide high safety. The modules themselves including DSP(digital signal processing) card are also fault-tolerant in nature. This paper assesses the safety for being-designed digital reactor protection system of 2-out-of-4 G structure with lockout. Some interesting design alternatives are compared. Fault tree analysis for assessing system safety is performed by Relex software. The selected reactor protection system fully satisfies EPRIURD stipulation of mean failure time of 50 years.

This research presents an approach to simultaneously detect the faults and measure the length of the electric cables. This approach is easy to use and inexpensive. Moreover, it can be applied to any kinds and sizes of the electric cable. This paper uses 750V $4{\times}4$ Sq.mm. cables. The concept is to send the 2 kHz pulse into the electric cable. When the pulse bumps into the fault, it bounces back. Then, the total time the pulse travels back and forth and the shape of the pulse after bumping are inspected using the pulse detector and pulse converter. Next, the signal obtained is modulated with 10 MHz carrier pulse to segregate into several small pulses before sending to 8-bit counter. The length of the electric cable can be obtained using microcontroller and the location of the faults can be seen on the LCD screen. This approach can be used to inspect the electric cables with the length of at least 15 m.

In recent times, multilevel inverters are given high priority in many large industrial drive applications. However, the reliability of multilevel inverters are mainly affected by the failure of power electronic switches. In this paper, open-switch and short-switch failure of multilevel inverters and its identification using a high performance diagnostic system is discussed. Experimental and simulation studies were carried out on five level cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter and its output voltage waveforms were analyzed at different switch fault cases and at different modulation index values. Salient frequency domain features of the output voltage signal were extracted using the discrete wavelet transform multi resolution signal decomposition technique. Real time application of the proposed fault diagnostic system was implemented through the LabVIEW software. Artificial neural network was trained offline using the Matlab software and the resultant network parameters were transferred to LabVIEW real time system. In the proposed system, it is possible to precisely identify the individual faulty switch (may be due to open-switch (or) short-switch failure) of multilevel inverters.
