Zero-Sequence Voltage-based Method for Determination and Classification of Unloaded Overhead Line Operating Conditions at the Moment of Energization

Overhead line energization can be performed under normal or faulty conditions. The latter indicates an occurrence of a fault along the line that exists at the moment of energization. This can lead to significant over-voltages that could endanger proper line operation. The issue gets more complex to protective devices when it comes to high-resistance faults, which impair the ability of relays to react promptly and accurately. Consequently, installation of additional detection devices becomes necessary. This paper proposes a novel method that properly detects and classifies line operating conditions at the moment of energization. The method is designed to be useful for utilities and it can be considered as a low-cost, fast, and accurate detection and classification approach, suitable for dealing with both low-resistance and high-resistance faults. Through comprehensive mathematical modeling it was found that both normal and faulty conditions during line energization are accompanied by the zero-sequence voltages of specific characteristics. The differences between zero voltage sequences are reflected in harmonic content, magnitudes of dominant frequencies, and their phase angles in regard to supply voltage. These findings are taken as the method's detection and classification criteria. The validity of the proposed model is verified by simulations and by field measurements.     

EMD-based random decrement technique for modal parameter identification of an existing railway bridge

Vibrational measurement data are often nonstationary and modal parameter identification based on these data is of practical value for structural health monitoring and condition assessment. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is a most recent tool for analysis of nonstationary signals. An EMD-based random decrement (RD) technique is presented to identify modal parameters from monitoring vibrational data. The nonstationary measurement data are first decomposed into a series of quasi-stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by EMD. The RD technique is then applied to the selected IMFs to obtain the free-decay response. The modal frequencies and damping ratios are finally identified from the free-decay response by minimizing the error between the measured free-decay responses and the predicted responses from a parametric model. The present method is applied to extract the modal parameters of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge from the measured responses. The identification result is compared to those from finite element analysis as well as from the experimental result identified with the peak-picking (PP) method. In addition, the modal frequencies of the bridge loaded with heavy trains are also identified and compared to the ‘empty’ bridge. The EMD-based random decrement (RD) technique provides an effective and promising tool for modal parameter identification for large bridges and other structures.

An imbalance fault detection method based on data normalization and EMD for marine current turbines

This paper proposes an imbalance fault detection method based on data normalization and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) for variable speed direct-drive Marine Current Turbine (MCT) system. The method is based on the MCT stator current under the condition of wave and turbulence. The goal of this method is to extract blade imbalance fault feature, which is concealed by the supply frequency and the environment noise. First, a Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT) detector is developed and the monitoring variable is selected by analyzing the relationship between the variables. Then, the selected monitoring variable is converted into a time series through data normalization, which makes the imbalance fault characteristic frequency into a constant. At the end, the monitoring variable is filtered out by EMD method to eliminate the effect of turbulence. The experiments show that the proposed method is robust against turbulence through comparing the different fault severities and the different turbulence intensities. Comparison with other methods, the experimental results indicate the feasibility and efficacy of the proposed method.
