In the case of the fault in stator windings of a high voltage motor. it facilitates certain destructive characteristics in insulations. This will result in a decreased reliability in power supplies and will prevent the generation of electricity, which will result in huge economic losses. This study simulates motor windings using normal windings and four faulty windings for an actual fault in stator winding of a high voltage motor. The partial discharge signals produced in each faulty winding were measured using an 80 PF epoxy/mica coupler sensor. In order to quantified signal waves its a way of feature extraction for each faulty signal, the signal wave of winding was quantified to measure the degree of skewness shape and kurtosis, which are both types of statistical parameters, using a discrete wavelet transformation method for each faulty type. Wave types present different types lot each faulty type, and the skewness and kurtosis also present different quantified values. The result of feature extraction was used as a preprocessing stage to identify a certain fault in stater windings. It is evident that the type of faulty signals can be classified from the test results using faulty signals that were randomly selected from the signal, which was not applied in the training after the training and learning period, by applying it to a back-propagation algorithm due to the supervising and learning method in a neural network in order to classify the faulty type. This becomes an important basis for studying diagnosis methods using the classification of faulty signals with a feature extraction algorithm, which can diagnose the fault of stator windings in the future.

Recently, the importance of supplying the reliable electric power is increasing. therefore, the importance of diagnosis of power equipments is increasing also. Breaking insulation of stator windings is major cause of faults in high voltage generators. On-line PD (Partial Discharge) detection using Capacitive Coupler at stator windings is used widely to diagnose high voltage generator. However, precise PD(Partial Discharge) detection is impossible if detected signals are mixed with PD and noise signal. In this paper, we analyze detected signals using Capacitive Coupler at 13[kV] hydroelectric generator stator winding and suggest not hardware method but noise elimination algorithm for detecting PD of generator stator winding considering relation of periphery signals.

Pattern classification of single and multiple discharge sources was applied using a wavelet image signal method in which a feature extraction was applied using a hidden sub-image. A feature extracting method that used vertical and horizontal images using an MSD method was applied to an averaging process for the scale of pulses for the phase. A feature extracting process for the preprocessing of the input of a neural network was performed using an inverse transformation of the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal sub-images. A back propagation algorithm in a neural network was used to classify defective signals. An algorithm for wavelet image processing was developed. In addition, the defective signal was classified using the extracted value that was quantified for the input of a neural network.

In this paper, the dynamic motion driven by electromagnetic force of transformer windings is modeled and its characteristics are numerically analyzed. The electromagnetic field is obtained using the 2D finite element method taking account of anisotropic property of iron core, and the electromagnetic force on the transformer winding is calculated from Lorenz's force formula using the field distribution result. The system motion equation driven by electromagnetic force and gravitational force is numerically analyzed using the 4-order Runge-Kutta algorithm. Above analyses procedure is applied to a single-phase core-type transformer to validate its algorithm.

This paper proposes an estimation algorithm for the separate primary and secondary leakage inductances of a three phase $Y-\Delta$ transformer using least squares method. The voltage equations from the primary and secondary windings are combined into a differential equation to estimate the separate primary and secondary leakage inductances in order to use the line current of the delta winding. Separate primary and secondary leakage inductances are obtained by applying least squares method to the differential equation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated under transient states, such as magnetic inrush and overexcitation, as well as in the steady state with various cut-off frequencies of low-pass filter. The proposed technique can accurately generate separate leakage inductances both in the steady and transient states.

The motor current signature provides an important source of the information for the faults diagnosis of three-phase induction motor. The theoretical principles behind the generation of unique signal characteristics, which are indicative of failure mechanisms, are Presented. The fault detection techniques that can be used to diagnose mechanical Problems, stator and rotor winding failure mechanisms, and air-gap eccentricity are described. A theoretical analysis is presented which predicts the presence of unique signature patterns in the current that are only characteristics of the fault. The predictions are verified by experimental results from a special fault Producing test rig and on-site tests in a steel company. And this study have made new diagnostic algorithm for the operating induction motors with the test results. These developments are including the use of monitoring and analysis of electric current to diagnose mechanical and electrical problems and gave the precise test results automatically.

The second harmonic component is commonly used for blocking differential relay in power transformers. However, it is difficult to distinguish between inrush and internal winding fault with differential current protective relaying. This paper proposed a new method using Nuro-Fuzzy System based on HCM(Hard C-Means). The proposed system is more objective and systematic than existing model. The data used in input are 3-phase primary voltage and fundamental harmonic of differential current. Various states of transformer are simulated using BCTRAN and HYSDAT of EMTP. As a result of the application of algorithm in various cases, the exact discrimination between internal winding fault and inrush is performed.

AC generator plays an important role of power system. The large AC generator fault may lead to large impacts or perturbations in power system. And then the protection of a generator has very important role in maintaining stability in a power system. In present, the DFT(discrete Fourier transform) based RDR(ratio differential relay) had been widely applied to a internal fault of a generator stator winding. But DFT has a serious drawback. In the course of transforming a target signal to frequency domain, time information is lost. DWT uses a time-scale region. This paper proposes an advanced fault detection algorithm using DWT(discrete Wavelet transform) to enhance the drawback of conventional DFT based relaying. To evaluate the performance of the proposed relaying, we used the test data which were sampled with 720 [Hz] per cycle and obtained from ATP(alternative transient program) simulation. And we made a comparative study of conventional DFT based RDR and the proposed relaying.

For stator winding protection of AC generator, KCL(Kirchhoff's Current Law) is widely applied. Actually a CRDR(Current Ratio Differential Relay) based on DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) has been used for protecting generator. It has been pointed out that defects can occur during the process of transforming a time domain signal into a frequency domain one which can lead to loss of time domain information. Wavelets techniques are proposed for the analysis of power system transients. This paper introduces an algorithm to choose a suitable Mother Wave1et for generator stator fault detection. For optimal selection, we analyzed db(Daubechies), sym(Symlets), and coif(Coiflects) of Mother Wavelet. And we compared with performance of the choice algorithm using detail coefficients energy and RMS(root mean square) error. It can be improved the reliability of the conventional DFT based CRDR. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme is proved with simulation using collected data obtained from ATP (Alternative Transient Program) package.

The stator phase winding of a linear pulse motor, which is a new type of linear motor, is comprised of two phases and is structurally characterized by a stacking method in which the winding of one phase is laid on top of the winding of another phase. Such a structural characteristic induces a difference in the flux linkage resulting from the flux of each stator phase winding in the same condition. The difference in the induced flux linkage acts as a kind of thrust ripple component in terms of the generated thrust. Thus, in order to maintain consistent thrust force, a method is required to solve the problem caused by the structural singularity. Hence, in this study, we present a technique for reducing the thrust force ripple generated by the stacking of the stator phase windings of a linear pulse motor through the generation of a compensating current reference value of the current controller in order to keep the torque constant. The proposed compensating algorithm is validated by simulations and experimental results.
