Item type:Publication, Fast and Effective Technique in Evaluation of Lightning Impulse Voltage Parameters(2021-01-01); ;Kitwattana, KritThis paper presents an approach for the waveform parameter evaluation of lightning impulse voltage in high voltage tests according to the IEC standards. Such waveform parameters are composed of peak voltage (U<inf>p</inf>), front time (T<inf>1</inf>), time to half (T<inf>2</inf>), and the overshoot rate (B<inf>e</inf>). An artificial neural network with a back-propagation learning algorithm was applied to determine a base curve and its parameters from 14 points along the recorded waveform between 20% of the peak voltage on the wave front part to 40% of the peak voltage on the wave tail part. The 29 waveforms recommended by the standard were used in the training process of the development of the network model, and some experimental cases were also utilized for verification of the proposed method. It is found that the waveform parameters evaluated by the proposed approach are in the tolerances of the standard requirements. Maximum absolute deviations of U<inf>p</inf>, T<inf>1</inf>, T<inf>2</inf>, and B<inf>e</inf> are 0.06%, 2.00%, 0.12%, and 0.79%, respectively. Due to that no iteration process in the proposed approach is required, the efficiency in calculation process is significantly faster than the standard recommended approach. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Comparative Fault Detection Between DWT and STFT in Overcurrent Relays(2024-01-01) ;Chiradeja, Pathomthat; ;Lertwanitrot, Praikanok; This study proposes a protection relay using a microcontroller to detect and classify faults in transmission lines based on the Wavelet transform. An experimental model was constructed from an actual 115 kV transmission system prototype. The current signal was observed based on the fault type, phase, and position. Clark's transform and the discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) were applied to transform signals for analysis. The positive and zero sequences obtained from Clark's transform were used for fault detection and fault classification, respectively. Moreover, the performances between the DWT and the short-time Fourier Transform (STFT) were compared in terms of accuracy and processing time. In addition, the double-detection technique was used to confirm the accuracy of fault detection. Results show that the proposed method is efficient for fault detection and classification. This finding allows the researcher to choose the appropriate analytical method. Moreover, it can also be used as the basis for overcurrent relay algorithm design in the effort to develop more advanced technologies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Partial Discharge Measurement Based on an Inductive Mode Air-Core Sensor(2020-03-01) ;Paophan, Busayapol; In this paper, an alternative technique for partial discharge (PD) measurement using an air-core sensor is proposed. The air-core sensor consists of an inductive mode air-core coil and the appropriate additional resistor. The approach for inductive mode enhancement of an air-core coil is presented. In the inductive mode operation, an output voltage which is proportional to an induced voltage from the air-core coil is utilized to determine PD currents and charges by a numerical integration. In the design process of the air-core sensor, parameter estimation with a computation algorithm is employed for extracting unknown circuit parameters of the air-core coil from a unit step response. These estimated parameters are crucial in an effective design of the PD measuring system. With the design circuit parameters, experiments in PD measurement were performed. From experimental results, the developed system has promising performance, and the sensitivity is in the range of a few picocoulombs. From this achievement, the proposed technique is a choice in PD measurement for high-voltage equipment in the laboratory and in the on-site measurement. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Transient Analysis to Distinguish Mechanically Switched Capacitors Using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Artificial Intelligence(2026-01-01) ;Thongsuk, Surakit ;Bunjongjit, Sulee; ; 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. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Impact on Protective Device Sequence of Operation in Case Distributed Generation Integrated to Distribution System(2023-07-01); ;Kotesakha, Wikorn; This study aims to evaluate the impact of the distributed generator (DG) connection to the grid. The simulated results present the parameters of the system required to install DG on the end of the main distribution feeder. Various parameters, such as voltage, current, and protective relay coordination are modelled after the actual provincial electricity authority (PEA) distribution system. Various case studies compared the coordination without and with DG connections to the grid by finding the difference of protective devices. The results indicate that the malfunction can be fixed in order of priority protective devices, which operate according to the parameter setting. Additionally, the coordinate functions between the recloser and fuse devices in both phase and ground configurations in the operating zone prevented the drop-out fuse melting or burning out. Based on the result, this problem is fixed by providing a directional recloser device and increasing the fuse-link rated with 40k installation for replacing the conventional sizing, which can improve the performance in case of fault occurrence to investigate the reliability and stability of the distribution system. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effective simulation approach for lightning impulse voltage tests of reactor and transformer windings(2020-10-16) ;Tuethong, Piyapon; In this paper, an effective simulation method for lightning impulse voltage tests of reactor and transformer windings is presented. The method is started from the determination of the realized equivalent circuit of the considered winding in the wide frequency range from 10 Hz to 10 MHz. From the determined equivalent circuit and with the use of the circuit simulator, the circuit parameters in the impulse generator circuit are adjusted to obtain the waveform parameters according to the standard requirement. The realized equivalent circuits of windings for impulse voltage tests have been identified. The identification approach starts from equivalent circuit determination based on a vector fitting algorithm. However, the vector fitting algorithm with the equivalent circuit extraction is not guaranteed to obtain the realized equivalent circuit. From the equivalent circuit, it is possible that there are some negative parameters of resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Using such circuit parameters from the vector fitting approach as the beginning circuit parameters, a genetic algorithm is employed for searching equivalent circuit parameters with the constraints of positive values. The realized equivalent circuits of the windings can be determined. The validity of the combined algorithm is confirmed by comparison of the simulated results by the determined circuit model and the experimental results, and good agreement is observed. The proposed approach is very useful in lightning impulse tests on the reactor and transformer windings. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, An algorithm for circuit parameter identification in lightning impulse voltage generation for low-inductance loads(2020-08-01) ;Tuethong, Piyapon ;Kitwattana, Krit; This paper presents an effective technique based on an artificial neural network algorithm utilized for circuit parameter identification in lightning impulse generation for low inductance loads such as low voltage windings of a power transformer, a large distribution transformer and an air core reactor. The limitation of the combination between Glaninger’s circuit and the circuit parameter selection from Feser’s suggestions in term of producing an impulse waveform to be compliant with standard requirements when working with a low inductance load is discussed. In Feser’s approach, the circuit parameters of the generation circuit need to be further adjusted to obtain the waveform compliant with the standard requirement. In this process, trial and error approaches based on test engineers’ experience are employed in the circuit parameter selection. To avoid the unintentional damage from electrical field stress during the voltage waveform adjustment process, circuit simulators, such as Pspice and EMTP/ATP, are very useful to examine the generated voltage waveform before the experiments on the test object are carried out. In this paper, a system parameter identification based on an artificial neural network algorithm is applied to determine the appropriate circuit parameters in the test circuit. This impulse voltage generation with the selected circuit parameters was verified by simulations and an experiment. It was found that the generation circuit gives satisfactory impulse voltage waveforms in accordance with the standard requirement for the maximum charging capacitance of 10 µF and the load inductance from 400 µH to 4 mH. From the simulation and experimental results of all cases, the approach proposed in this paper is useful for test engineers in selection of appropriate circuit components for impulse voltage tests with low inductance loads instead of employing conventional trial and error in circuit component selection. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Accurate Assessment of Moisture Content and Degree of Polymerization in Power Transformers via Dielectric Response Sensing(2023-10-01); ;Pramualsingha, Sarawuth; ;Nimsanong, PhethaiPower transformers are essential apparatuses used to transfer electrical energy from one voltage-level circuit to another. For reliable systems, preventive maintenance of the transformers is required to ensure good services of all mechanical, electrical, and insulation parts. Oil-immersed paper is most often used for transformer insulation. To ensure such good insulation performance and for assessing insulation conditions, advanced transformer sensing, monitoring, and effective assessment techniques are required. This paper introduces an effective technique for assessing the insulation conditions in power transformers, which are crucial for ensuring reliable energy transfer. The method utilizes advanced transformer sensing and monitoring, focusing on oil-immersed paper insulation commonly used in transformers. The technique employs dielectric response sensing, obtained from frequency-domain spectroscopy tests, to estimate degrees of polymerization (DP) and percentages of moisture content (PMCs) in the oil-immersed paper insulation. These parameters are well-known indicators of insulation performance. The approach is based on the weighted k-nearest neighbor regression, using a database of dielectric loss factors at low frequency and oil conductivities. To overcome limited data availability, linear interpolation and extrapolation techniques are applied to enlarge the database. Experimental verification and comparison with a previously developed method demonstrate the proposed technique’s superiority in accuracy and complexity. The maximum deviations of DP and PMC in the validation cases are 6.2% and 18.7%, respectively. In addition, to evaluate the validity of our proposed method in the case of a real power transformer, a comparative analysis of the DP and PMC values determined by the proposed method with those obtained through a previously developed and complicated approach was performed. The predicted results indicate that the DP and PMC values of the oil-immersed insulation fall within the ranges of 800 to 1000 and 1.5 to 2.0, respectively, which agree with the results determined by the complicated approach and closely align with real conditions. By offering a reliable and advanced means of assessing insulation conditions, this technique contributes to the preventive maintenance and overall efficiency of power transformers. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Systematic design and circuit analysis of lightning impulse voltage generation on low-inductance loads(2021-12-01); ;Kitcharoen, PhattarinThe well-known circuit for the generation of lightning impulse voltage (LIV) on low-inductance loads was introduced by Glaninger in 1975, and the circuit component selection was proposed by Feser. However, the circuit and the approach for the component selection have some dif-ficulties for which further adjustment is required for obtaining the waveform parameters according to the standard requirement. In this paper, an extended Glaninger’s circuit with an additional series resistor is proposed. Furthermore, a systematic design and circuit analysis of LIV generation for low-inductance loads are developed. With the help of a circuit simulator, the circuit analysis for the component selection is described. The validity of the proposed circuit was confirmed by some experimental results in comparison with the simulated ones. The proposed circuit and component selection provide not only the generation waveform according to the standard requirement but also other promising performances in terms of the wide inductance load range from 400 µH to 4 mH, a voltage efficiency of over 80%, an overshoot voltage of below 5%, an undershoot voltage of below 40%, and a maximum charging capacitance of 10 µF. From the simulated and experimental results, the proposed circuit and component selection approach is very useful for the LIV tests on low-inductance loads instead of using the conventional approach based on trial and error. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A novel fuzzy logic control technique tuned by particle swarm optimization for maximum power point tracking for a photovoltaic system using a current-mode boost converter with bifurcation control(2010-04-01) ;Khaehintung, Noppadol; This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic control technique tuned by particle swarm optimization (PSO-FLC) for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a photovoltaic (PV) system. The proposed PV system composes of a current-mode boost converter (CMBC) with bifurcation control. An optimal slope compensation technique is used in the CMBC to keep the system adequately remote from the first bifurcation point in spite of nonlinear characteristics and instabilities of this converter. The proposed PSO technique allows easy and more accurate tuning of FLC compared with the trialand-error based tuning. Consequently, the proposed PSO-FLC method provides faster tracking of maximum power point (MPP) under varying light intensities and temperature conditions. The proposed MPPT technique is simple and particularly suitable for PV system equipped with CMBC Experimental results are shown to confirm superiority of the proposed technique comparing with the conventional PVVC technique and the trial-and-error based tuning FLC. © ICROS, KIEE and Springer 2010.
