This paper presents a protective relaying algorithm for transformers using the ratio of induced voltages. The ratio primary and secondary induced voltages calculated calculates from currents and voltages of primary and secondary windings is used. In case of the steady state and magnetic inrush, it is equal to the turn ratio while it is different from the turn ratio in case of internal winding faults. The proposed algorithm operates satisfactorily even large residual flux.

This paper describes a transformer protective relaying algorithm based on the ratio of increments of flux linkages (RIFL) of the primary and secondary windings. The algorithm uses integration approximation. The RIFL is equal to the turns ratio for all operating conditions except for an internal fault. For a single-phase transformer and a Y-Y transformer, the increments of flux linkages (IFL) are calculated. For a Y-$\Delta$ transformer, the difference of IFL are calculated to use the line currents rather than the delta winding currents, which are unavailable. Their ratios are compared with the turns ratio. The comparative study between the proposed and conventional differentiation approximation methods was conducted. The test results show that the algorithm reduces the approximation errors of the conventional methods.

A doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG) system has been widely used in the modem wind turbines due to variable-speed operation, high efficiency and small converter size. It is well known that an inter-turn fault of a generator is very difficult to be detected. The DFIG system uses a wound rotor induction machine so that the magnetizing current of the generator can be fed from both the stator and the rotor. This paper proposes a protection algorithm for a DFIG using the d-q equivalent circuit in the time domain. In the case of a DFIG, the voltages and currents of the rotor side as well as the voltages and currents of the stator are available. The proposed algorithm estimates the instantaneous(i.e., converted into the stationary frame) induced voltages from the rotor and the stator sides. If the difference between the two estimated induced voltages exceeds the threshold, the proposed algorithm detects the inter-turn fault. The algorithm can detect a inter-turn fault of a winding. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated using a PSCAD/EMTDC simulator under inter-turn fault conditions and normal operating conditions such as an external fault and the change of the wind speed.

In this paper, the adaptive neural network technique is proposed to control the speed of wind power generation system. For maximizing generated power effectively, adaptive neural algorithm based on SRWMM(Self Recurrent Wavelet Neural Network) is derived to on-line adjust the excitation winding voltage of the generator. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed method can achieve smooth and asymptotic rotor speed tracking.

To analyze influences under faults caused by a stator winding short and to evaluate an effectiveness of a diagnostic algorithm a faulty model for an inverter-driven permanent magnet synchronous motor is presented. Even though the conventional dq motor model obtained through the transformation of phase voltage model is widely used to analyze and control the motor, it can not be used in the analysis of a faulty motor since the 3-phase balanced condition is no longer hold under the fault caused by a stator winding short, and thus, it is very difficult to obtain motor input voltages from the pole voltage of an inverter. To overcome this problem, a faulty model for an inverter-driven permanent magnet synchronous motor is proposed by considering the line voltage of 3-phase variables. The effectiveness of the proposed faulty model is verified through comparative simulations and experiments using DSP TMS320F28335 and motor built to allow a partial short of inter-turn.

To detect faults in an inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive under the circumstance having faults in a stator winding and inverter switch, an on-line basis fault detecting scheme during operation is presented. The proposed scheme is achieved by monitoring the second-order harmonic component in q-axis current and the fault is detected by comparing these components with those in normal conditions. The linear interpolation method is employed to determine the harmonic data in normal operating conditions. As soon as the fault is detected, the operating mode is changed to identify a fault type using the phase current waveform. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed fault detecting scheme, a test motor to allow inter-turn short in the stator winding has been built. The entire control algorithm is implemented using DSP TMS320F28335. Without requiring an additional hardware, the fault can be effectively detected by the proposed scheme during operation so long as the steady-state condition is satisfied.

A voltage transformer (VT) is used to transform a high voltage into a low voltage as an input for a metering device or a protection relay. VTs use an iron core which maximizes the flux linkage. The primary current of the VT has non-fundamental components caused by the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core. It causes a voltage drop in the winding impedances resulting in the error of the VT. This paper describes a compensation algorithm for the VT. The proposed algorithm can compensate the secondary voltage of VT by calculating the primary current from the exciting current of the hysteresis loop in the voltage transformer. In this paper, the exciting branch was divided into a non-linear core loss resistor and a non-linear magnetizing inductor. The performance of the proposed algorithm was validated under various conditions using EMTP generated data. Test results show that the proposed compensation algorithm can improve the accuracy of the VT significantly.

This paper describes a compensation algorithm for a measurement voltage transformer (VT) based on the hysteresis characteristics of the core. The error of the VT is caused by the voltages across the primary and secondary windings. The latter depends on the secondary current whilst the former depends on the primary current, i.e. the sum of the exciting current and the secondary current. The proposed algorithm calculates the voltages across the primary and secondary windings and add them to the measured secondary voltage for compensation. To do this, the primary and secondary currents should be estimated. The secondary current is obtained directly from the secondary voltage and used to calculate the voltage across the secondary winding. For the primary current, in this paper, the exciting current is decomposed into the two currents, i.e. the core-loss current and the magnetizing current. The core-loss current is obtained by dividing the primary induced voltage by the core-loss resistance. The magnetizing current is obtained by inserting the flux into the flux-magnetizing current curve. The calculated voltages across the primary and secondary windings are added to the measured secondary current for compensation. The proposed compensation algorithm improves the error of the VT significantly.
