Need for Fault Analysis


Fault classification and location is very important in power
system engineering in order to clear fault quickly and
restore
power supply as soon as possible with minimum
interruption.
When faults occur in the power system, they usually
provide
significant changes in the system quantities (current,
power,
power factor, impedance, frequency and power or current
direction).

Objective
To classify the faults according to the following
parameters:
1) Fault type
2) Fault location

Effects of faults on power


system

Flow of excessive current


Abnormal voltages
Voltage elevation of system neutral
Induce over voltages on neighbouring equipments
Hazards to human, equipment and animals

Fault Classification
There are two main types of faults:
1) symmetric faults
- system remains balance
- these faults are relatively rare, but are the
easiest to
analyze
2) Asymmetric faults:
- system is no longer balanced
- very common, but more difficult to analyze

Types of Faults in Power


System
The most common type of fault on a three phase
system
Single Line-to-Ground (LG) faults
Line-to-Line (LL) faults
Double Line-to-Ground (LLG) faults
3-Phase faults

Fourier Analysis to Wavelet


Analysis
FT:
breaks down a signal into the sum of infinite
series of sines
and cosines of different frequencies
Disadv: Time information is lost

STFT:
Under a fixed time window both t and f are
examined
Disadv: time window is fixed and same for all f
