    Flexible AC transmission systems are used for enhancing the stability, transmission efficiency, and reliability of AC grids. Additionally, the most cost-effective devices for compensating reactive power are Mechanically Switched Capacitors (MSCs). This study proposes a novel algorithm for detection and capacitor bank switching transient signals in MSC, to prevent the protective relay maloperation by these transients. The Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used for effective time-frequency analysis and detection of measured three-phase current signals. DWT extracts the detailed wavelet coefficients of current signals at levels 1 to 30. In addition, the fuzzy inference system (FIS) has been used to determine the type of switching transient. The proposed combination of FIS and DWT has been tested on 230 kV substation and the result demonstrated precision for the identification and classification of both transient signals in MSC with 88% accuracy rate.

    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.

    The high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, which links the Gurun Substation of the National Electric Authority of Malaysia (Tenaga Nasional Berhad, TNB) with the Khlong Ngae Station of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), has been extensively researched to achieve the highest quality because it is the largest of its kind in Thailand, and there is a plant to expand its transmission power. However, the impact on the whole system is under-researched. To study and develop this system, the HVDC transmission line is modelled with the MATLAB/Simulink program and a laboratory setup to investigate the effect of transmission line distance, load power, and voltage on power loss, voltage drop, and waveform. The HVDC transmission line parameters are calculated from the actual transmission line parameters and converted to the simulation model parameters using the per-unit method. The model is verified and tested by the simulation program before creating the experimental setup. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effects of changing system conditions via the three aspects. All the three conditions directly affect the HVDC transmission line; nevertheless, they affect each aspect differently.

    A phase diagram approach to the detection and location of faulty capacitor units in A 115-kV capacitor bank based on unbalanced current arguments
    (2023-03-01) ;
    Lertwanitrot, Praikanok
    ;
    The protection of traditional high voltage capacitor banks relies on an unbalance relay which operates when an internal fuse is blown. However, the unbalance relay cannot indicate cause or position of the fault. Thus, an operator wastes time and human resources investigating the fault issues. To address this issue, a method to locate the fault position in a capacitor bank is developed in this study. The study was simulated by using PSCAD software and modeled on the 115-kV system of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). Case studies involving faults with varied phases, side and branch connections, row connections, and inception angles were considered. Moreover, the magnitude and argument of the current phase and unbalanced current were analyzed to identify the fault location in a capacitor bank. The performance of the proposed method was verified via comparison with that of traditional methods and the results of laboratory experiments. In addition, various voltage systems were observed to verify the flexibility and accuracy of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the proposed method was more efficient than traditional methods at locating the fault position in a capacitor bank.

    The protection of traditional high-voltage capacitor banks relies on an unbalance relay which operates when an internal fuse is blown. However, the unbalance relay cannot indicate the cause of the fault. Thus, an operator wastes time and human resources investigating the fault issues. In this paper, a fault which occurred in a 230-kV power system of Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand was observed by performing simulations using the Power Systems Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) program. The study system based on the double bus station and 72 MVAR capacitor banks was installed in the form of a back-to-back topology. Three scenarios were considered: normal condition, fault occurrence in one capacitor bank and fault occurrence in both capacitor banks. Current characteristics such as the current phase and difference in unbalance current were considered. In addition, discrete wavelet transform was applied to solve the ambiguity of current generated from the PSCAD. The authors’ results suggest that identifying fault events using a coefficient of wavelet is more efficient than relying on the current amplitude. The findings mentioned in this paper can be applied in a traditional power system protection scheme to enhance a system's reliability.

    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.

    ;
    This paper presents the simulation and investigation of switching large shunt capacitor bank in a 230kV Thailand substation system. Simulation is performed using PSCAD/EMTDC. The inrush current is generated by energizing of the 4×72 Mvar, 230 kV shunt capacitor banks. The purpose is to observe the inrush current to ensure safe and successful operations of the shunt capacitor banks. In addition, the effects of parameters such as sizing of current limiting reactor (CLR), pre-insert resistor (PIR) and 6% detuning reactor are investigated. The results of simulations are shown that the 6% detuning reactor can reduce inrush current more than other methods. © 2013 IEEE.

    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.
