Patent number: 9118181Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a method for faulted phase selection and fault type determination in electric power lines applicable both to series compensated and uncompensated power lines. The method comprising a fault inception detection and an estimation of fault phase current signals, pre-fault current signals and zero-sequence current in order to receive the absolute value of incremental current signals and their maximum value from which real value indicators for phase to phase faults, real value indicators for 3-phase fault and a real value indicator for ground fault are determined. The method further comprises calculating the maximum of the value of all fault type indicators (Fflt), determining the fault type, which determines the fault type on the basis that the index (flt) means the specific type of fault indicated by the value of flt; and presenting the real fault type indicator (Fmax).Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2010Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: ABB RESEARCH LTDInventors: Przemyslaw Balcerek, Marek Fulczyk, Eugeniusz Rosolowski, Jan Izykowski, Murari Saha, Piotr Pierz

Patent number: 8731853Abstract: A method for fault location in series compensated power transmission lines using two-end unsynchronized voltage and current measurements in stations A and B. The method includes performing a subroutine I for determining whether the fault occurred in a line section LA between the station A and a SC&MOV and the distance dA to the fault from station A. Subroutine II determines whether the fault occurred in a line section LB between the station B and the SC&MOV and the distance dB to the fault from station B. The synchronization angle ej?A is determined in subroutine I, and the synchronization angle ej?B is determined in subroutine II. Then, the distance to fault dA or dB is determined. Finally, an equivalent impedance of compensating banks at fault stage ZSC1—phSUB—A and ZSC1—phSUB—B, and pre-fault stage ZSC1—pre is calculated in order to determine whether distance dA or dB is the final result.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2008Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: ABB Research Ltd.Inventors: Przemyslaw Balcerek, Marek Fulczyk, Eugeniusz Rosolowski, Jan Izykowski, Murari Saha

Patent number: 6904372Abstract: A method is disclosed for the identification of weak and/or strong nodes of an electric power transmission system. Electric parameters characterizing nodes and branches of an electric power transmission system are subject to computational treatment to obtain equations of power flow in all nodes of the system at assumed 100 percent system load value. Using earth as the reference point, nodal impedance values are computed for all nodes, and used to construct a P-Q curve which presents the functional relation between the system's reactive and active load. The nodal coefficient of voltage stability is determined as the relative distance between the base load point of that node and the critical point on the P-Q curve situated most closely to the base point. The coefficient is compared with a threshold value considered to be a safe margin to maintain voltage stability for a given node.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: ABB Technology AGInventors: Marek Fulczyk, Marian Sobierajski, Joachim Bertsch

Method of the identification of weak and/or strong branches of an electric power transmission system
Patent number: 6832167Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method of identification of weak and/or strong branches of an electric power transmission system. In the inventive method electrical parameters characterizing the nodes and branches of an electric power transmission system are subjected to computational treatment in order to obtain equations of power flow in all nodes of the system at assumed 100 percent system load value. Then an electric model of a branch is assumed and a curve P-Q is constructed which shows the functional relation between active and reactive load in the system. For the assumed branch model a branch voltage stability coefficient is determined. Then the analysed system is overloaded by increasing the total system load up to 120% base load and the branch voltage stability coefficient is determined again. The numerical values of the appropriately determined coefficients are compared with threshold values considered to be a safe margin for the maintenance of voltage stability for the given branch.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: ABB Technology ABInventors: Marek Fulczyk, Marian Sobierajski, Joachim Bertsch -
