  • Patent number: 11757282
    Abstract: A power system comprises a power source, a transmission line coupled to the power source through a circuit breaker, a shunt reactor coupled to the transmission line, and a current transformer connected in series with the shunt reactor. A method for controlling the circuit breaker of the power system comprises processing an output signal of the current transformer to obtain the voltage on the transmission line by determining a time derivative of a current sensed by the current transformer. The method further comprises performing, by at least one control or protection device, a control or protection operation (e.g., auto-reclosing) based on the determined time derivative of the current sensed by the current transformer.

  • Patent number: 11437205
    Abstract: The invention relates to monitoring operation of a switching device in a power system, where a load is connected to a power source through the switching device. The load has windings, with coupling between at least one of two or more phases of a winding, and two or more windings of the load. The method includes obtaining measurements of at least one of voltages and currents, at one or more of a source and load side. Further, the method determines an electrical parameter associated with electrical switching of one or more poles. The parameter for each pole is determined based on at least one of voltage measurements at the source and load side, and line measurements associated with at least one winding. The values of the electrical parameter are monitored to determine the switching instant of the pole, for determining mechanical operating time deviation for estimating future switching instants.
