This paper deals with the development of an expert system for the fault diagnosis in a power system. The expert system is designed to estimate the fault sections with explanation about the propagation of the faults through the identification of false operation of protective devices. The identification of black-out area is also considered to assist the restoration process. As for the inference scheme, backward chaining method is adopted and the search space is reduced for the better performance. The expert system was developed using PROLOG language. Its application to a sample power system showed satisfactory result.

In this study a control surface/actuator fault detection, identification, and accommodation system for aircraft is designed. This fault tolerant control system tries to return aircraft to its stable trim condition in a short time. The control system is designed using neural networks with Extended Back Propagation Algorithm which shows fast convergence. F-4 aircraft with possible stabilator or aileron failure/stuck is simulated with the proposed scheme.

The analysis of distribution line faults is essential to the proper protections of the power system. A high impedance fault does not make enough current to cause conventional protective devices. It is well known that undesirable operating conditions and certain types of faults on electric distribution feeders cannot be detected by using conventional protection system. This paper describes an algorithm using back-propagation neural network for pattern recognition and detection of high impedance faults. Fractal dimensions are estimated for distinction between random noise and chaotic behavior in the power system. The fractal dimension of the line current is also used as a indication of the high impedance fault.

It is of great importance to assess the residual displacement demand in the performance-based seismic design. In this paper, a hybrid deep learning model for predicting the residual displacement spectra under near-fault (NF) ground motions is proposed by combining the long short-term memory network (LSTM) and back-propagation (BP) network. The model is featured by its capacity of predicting the residual displacement spectrum under a given NF ground motion while considering the effects of structural parameters. To construct this model, 315 natural and artificial NF ground motions were employed to compute the residual displacement spectra through elastoplastic time history analysis considering different structural parameters. Based on the resulted dataset with a total of 9,450 samples, the proposed model was finally trained and tested. The results show that the proposed model has a satisfactory accuracy as well as a high efficiency in predicting residual displacement spectra under given NF ground motions while considering the impacts of structural parameters.

The replication of data is used to increase its availability, improve the performance of a system, and advance the fault-tolerance of a system. In this paper, it is required for the information about the location of a primary site of the replicas of each data item. The replicas of each data item are hierarchically organized to a tree based on the fact that the root is the primary replica in partially replicated databases. It eliminates useless propagation since the propagation can be done to only sites having replicas following the hierarchy of data. And our algorithm schedules transactions so that the execution order of updates at each primary site is identical at all sites by using timestamp. Using our algorithm, the consistent data are supplied and the performance of read-only transactions can be improved by using tree structure of replicas of each data item.

Special Protection Scheme(SPS) that operates scenarios about faults beyond the normally protective action is wide system protection technology for the purpose of wide areas protection. Therefore, the SPS focuses on the improvement of the power supply capability by protecting the system rather than protecting the system equipments. Since the SPS requires emergency operation, the operation schedule is set up in advance by analyzing various scenarios. Since the SPS's action scheme uses generator tripping and is a classical method it is presently the most powerful one. However, as the setting of SPS is set to the most severe disturbance, the scheme tends to trip more generators than required to prevent fault propagation. It is highly likely that tripping generator units to prevent fault propagation would result in difficulty of system management and possibility of load shedding. Accordingly, it is desirable that generators are connected to the system within the range that ensures system stability and intelligent SPS is currently under development to solve the problem being stated. In this paper, as a part of developing the intelligent SPS, application of the fast-valving and braking resistor scheme to the generators is being proposed and analysed to reduce the number of tripped generators.

In a Gas Insulated Substation (GIS), Very Fast Transients (VFTs) are generated mainly due to switching operations. These transients may cause internal faults, i.e., layer-to-layer faults in a capacitively graded bushing as it is one of the most important terminal equipment for GIS. The healthiness of the bushing is generally verified by measuring its leakage current. However, the change in current magnitude/pattern is only marginal for different types of fault conditions. Leakage current monitoring (LCM) systems generate large amounts of data and computer aided interpretation of defects may be of great assistance when analyzing this data. In view of the above, ANN techniques have been used in this study for identification of these minor faults. A single layer perceptron network, a two layer feed-forward back propagation network and cascade correlation (CC) network models are used to identify interlayer faults in the bushing. The effectiveness of the CC network over perceptron and back propagation networks in identification of a fault has been analysed as part of the paper.

We simulate the propagation of earthquake waves in the continental margin of Antarctica using the elastic wave modeling algorithm, which is modified to be suitable for acoustic-elastic coupled media and earthquake source. To simulate the various types of earthquake source, the staggered-grid finite-difference method, which is composed of velocity-stress formulae, can be more appropriate to use than the conventional, displacement-based, finite-difference method. We simulate the elastic wave propagation generated by earthquakes combining 3D staggered-grid finite-difference algorithm composed of displacement-velocity-stress formulae with double couple mechanisms for earthquake source. Through numerical tests for left-lateral strike-slip fault, normal fault and reverse fault, we could confirm that the first arrival of P waves at the surface is in a good agreement with the theoretically-predicted results based on the focal mechanism of an earthquake. Numerical results for a model made after the subduction zone in the continental margin of Antarctica showed that earthquake waves, generated by the reverse fault and propagating through the continental crust, the oceanic crust and the ocean, are accurately described.

RSA-CRT is one of the commonly used techniques to speedup RSA operation. Since RSA-CRT performs its operations based on the modulus of two private primes, it is about four times faster than RSA. In RSA, the two primes are normally thrown away after generating the public key pair. However, in RSA-CRT, the two primes are directly used in RSA operations. This led to hardware fault attacks which can be used to factor the public modulus. The most common way to counter these attacks is based on error propagation. In these schemes, all the outputs of RSA are affected by the infected error which makes it difficult for an adversary to use the output to factor the public modulus. However, the error propagation has sequentialized the RSA operation. Moreover, these schemes have been found to be still vulnerable to hardware fault attacks. In this paper, we propose two new RSA-CRT schemes which are both resistant to hardware fault attack and support parallel execution: one uses common modulus and the other one perform operations in each prime modulus. Both proposed schemes takes about a time equal to two exponentiations to complete the RSA operation if parallel execution is fully used and can protect the two private primes from hardware fault attacks.

We investigated quench distribution in AU/YBCO thin film meander lines with a heater. Quench distribution during faults is important for superconducting fault current limter applications, because uniform quench allows application of higher voltages across the meander lines. AU/YBCO thin films grown on sapphire substrates were patterned into meander lines by photolithography. Gold films grown on the rear sides of the substrates were also patterned into meander lines, and used as heaters. Meander lines on the front and the rear sides were connected in parallel. The meander lines were subjected to simulated AC fault currents for quench measurements during faults. They were immersed in liquid nitrogen during the experiment for effective cooling. Resistance of the AU/YBCO meander lines initially increased more rapidly with the rear heater than without, and consequently the fault current was limited more. The resistance subsequently became similar, The resistance distribution was more uniform with the heater, especially during the initial quench. Quench was completed more uniformly and significantly earlier. This resulted in uniform distribution of dissipated power. These results could be explained with the concept of quench propagation, which was accelerated by heat transfer across the substrate from the rear heater.
