    Klomjit, J.
    ;
    This paper proposes a technique for detecting and identifying internal winding fault of three-phase two-winding transformer which variations of coefficients of high frequency component obtained from DWT of differential current are analyzed. The maximum coefficient details of DWT are performed as comparison indicator in order to discriminate between internal fault and external short circuit. Various cases based on Thailand electricity transmission and distribution systems are studied to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm. Results show that the proposed technique has good accuracy to detect fault and to identify its position in the considered system.

    Energy usage in residential buildings has been constantly increasing as work-from-home trends continue to maintain popularity. To improve energy efficiency, the load profile and electric appliances in households need to be established and analyzed. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of electric appliances that are commonly used in residential buildings under various operating conditions. An experimental setup with household electric appliances was built, and power quality meters were installed to assess the patterns under various operating conditions. In addition, the usage patterns were used to construct the daily load profile and analyze the energy consumption in residential buildings. The results demonstrate that load patterns constructed from actual measurements can achieve an accurate depiction of energy usage in residential buildings. The obtained load profile can be used in load control to improve energy efficiency and the application of renewable energy in demand reduction.

    (2019-11-01) ;
    Renewable energy has been rapidly increased in terms of installed capacity. However, the electronic components inside such a system can cause a serious threat such as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) to nearby sensitive devices/equipment.

    Capacitor banks are widely used in modern power systems for reactive power compensation and voltage regulation. However, switching operations of mechanically switched capacitors (MSCs) can generate transient phenomena, such as inrush currents, which may resemble fault currents and lead to misoperation of protection systems. Therefore, accurate detection and classification of transient events are essential for reliable system operation. This study proposes a hybrid approach for transient signal analysis and classification by integrating the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including probabilistic neural networks and fuzzy inference systems (FIS). The DWT performs time–frequency analysis to extract multi-scale wavelet features from three-phase current signals. The proposed method enables both discrimination between inrush and fault currents and multi-class classification of transient events among six capacitor switching conditions, namely base case, pre-insertion resistor, pre-insertion inductor, current limiting reactor, 6% reactor, and synchronous closing. The methodology is validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations under isolated and back-to-back capacitor switching scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed DWT–AI approach achieves high classification accuracy exceeding 95%, outperforming conventional methods based on DWT alone and DWT combined with FIS. Furthermore, the proposed method improves protection system performance by reducing false tripping caused by transient inrush currents, while maintaining reliable fault detection capability. The findings confirm that integrating time–frequency signal processing with AI-based classification provides an effective and practical solution for transient event discrimination in MSC capacitor bank systems.

    Discrete wavelet transform and back-propagation neural networks algorithm for fault classification in underground cable
    (2011-07-26) ; ; ;
    Chiradeja, P.
    ;
    This paper proposes a new technique using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) for fault classifications on underground cable. Simulations and the training process for the back-propagation neural network are performed using ATP/EMTP and MATLAB. The mother wavelet daubechies4 (db4) is employed to decompose high frequency component from these signals. Positive sequence current signals are used in fault detection decision algorithm. The variations of first scale high frequency component that detect fault are used as an input for the training pattern. Various cases studies based on Thailand electricity distribution underground systems have been investigated so that the algorithm can be implemented. The results are shown that an average accuracy values obtained from BPNN can indicate the fault classification with satisfactory accuracy, and will be very useful in the development of a power system protection scheme.

    Identification of fault location for simultaneous fault in distribution system using discrete wavelet transform
    (2011-04-01) ; ; ;
    Apisit, C.
    Currently, the most effective technique for identifying fault location, based on a travelling wave, has been proposed in several research papers. However, the effects of simultaneous faults have been neglected. In order to overcome this problem, a new algorithm will be developed in order to predict fault location precisely. This paper presents a technique to detect fault locations, during simultaneous fault, in an underground distribution system using discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The DWT is used to detect the high frequency components. The time that the fault signal uses to reach the ends of the distribution line is considered, then, applied so that the distance of fault can be calculated. The result is found that the proposed algorithm gives satisfactory both in case of single fault and simultaneous fault. ICIC International © 2011.

    Distribution line voltage drops cause power losses and a general decline in the efficiency of the electrical power system. In this study, PSCAD software is used to evaluate the elements that impact the voltage drop in the distribution line, including distribution line length, electric load power factor, and electric load capacity, both with and without capacitor bank installation. The 22-kV overhead distribution line in Thailand served as the basis for the simulation model’s creation. It has been suggested to install capacitor bank-based techniques to increase voltage on distribution lines. The findings show that the voltage drop is significantly influenced by the distribution line distance, electric load power factor, and electric load capacity. The voltage drop can be minimized to the greatest extent by properly arranging capacitor banks.

    Influence of wind farm on distribution system: Current characteristics during fault occurrence
    In this past few years, installation of distributed generator (DG) has become topic of interest in many countries due to rapid increase in energy and environmental issue. Generating power from renewable source has been proposed to compensate fossil fuel that is currently depleted. Wind power is one of the renewable energy sources that gains a huge attention, and many utilities are connecting wind power to distribution system. This number is going to get higher in the near future. Research on influence of wind power on system must be done in order to ensure the reliability of power system. This paper aims to study an impact of wind power-integrated distribution system when fault occurs in the system for various conditions. Many factors capable of changing system characteristics have been taken into account such as distribution system consisting of multi-wind power generation, size of wind power generation, fault type, and location of fault. Distribution system under this study is modeled based on 22 kv distribution network of Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) in Thailand. Simulation will be done by using PSCAD/EMTP. Result obtained from case studies will be used to analyze and evaluate the effect of installation of wind power. The result indicates that the DG contributes significant fault current to the system when fault occurs.
