Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for generating a system-wide event report for electrical power delivery systems. A monitoring device within the power system may generate a key message upon the occurrence of a predetermined condition. A master IED within the power system may generate and/or transmit a system-wide key message to a plurality of monitoring IEDs within the power system. Digital process bus data, continuously recorded by a plurality of monitoring IEDs within the power system, may be saved locally by each monitoring IED within the power system and retrieved by a master IED within the power system. Alternatively, digital process bus data may be transmitted to a master IED and saved locally. A software and/or hardware module may be used to merge the local reports into a system-wide event report.

Abstract: According to the overload current limiting method for a voltage source converter, when a pole control system receives a water-cooling overload current limiting instruction, an active and reactive instruction are changed at the same time according to a specified slope, so that an absolute value of an arm current of the converter decreases in a fixed slope, and can be ensured that active power and reactive power fall to zero at the same time, and a water-cooling load limiting aim of the converter can be achieved by reducing the arm current. After a water-cooling overload power limiting instruction received by the pole control system is cancelled, a current value of the active power and the inactive power remain unchanged. When a water-cooling overload power limiting instruction is received again, decrease continues on the basis of current power values until the power falls to zero.

Abstract: Various technologies for identifying RF emitters in geolocation datasets are described herein. Doppler signatures of RF emitters and geolocation data of objects in a scene are collected simultaneously, then range-rate profiles of the movement of the RF emitters and the objects in the scene are computed. An RF emitter is identified in a geolocation dataset by comparing the motion of the RF emitter with the motion of an object in the scene as described by the respective range-rate profiles.
