Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for monitoring and diagnosing power system assets. An example method may include triggering, by a gateway device and at a first time, a capture of a first waveform from a first intelligent electronic device (IED) associated with a first asset in a power system. The method may also include transmitting, by the gateway device, the capture of the waveform to a remote device. The method may also include extracting fault features from the first waveform corresponding to different failure modes associated with the asset of the power system. The method may also include determining, based on the features extracted from first waveform, that a fault of a first fault mode has occurred in the asset. The method may also include providing an alert that the fault has been identified, wherein the alert initiates or otherwise facilitates a control action in the power system.

Abstract: A method for operating a wind farm having a string (S1-S3) of wind turbines (100-100d) which are electrically connectable with each other and a grid (510, 550) via power connections (Cab-Cd) is disclosed. Each wind turbine includes a rotor (106) with rotor blades (108), and a power conversion system (118, 210, 238) mechanically connected with the rotor (106). The method includes disconnecting the string (S1-S3) from the grid (510, 550), and identifying a primary wind turbine (100a, 100c) of the disconnected string (S1-S3) which is electrically connectable with at least one secondary wind turbine (100b-10d) of the disconnected string (S1-S3). The power conversion system (118, 210, 238) of the primary wind turbine (100a, 100c) includes a reactive power capability (RPC) that at least matches a reactive power (RP) of a cluster (C1, C11, C12) to be formed by electrically connecting the primary wind turbine (100a, 100c) with the at least one secondary wind turbine (100b-100d) of the disconnected string (S1-S3).
