Study on the algorithm of fault recording analysis combining its time-domain waveforms with phase-domain trajectories

Abstract

AbstractThe untimely handling of faults in a power system has a negative impact on its operation and even the national economy, and this requires coordination in the functions of protective relaying as well as supervisory & control devices, where digital fault recorders are used to record fault waveforms of electrical physical quantities. The fault recording of a simulated current is taken as the research object in this article, and it is transformed from the time-domain waveform into a phase-domain trajectory, which is used to analyze fault feature parameters and then reformulate the waveform. The original waveform of the current will be substituted by the reformulated one with fault features to realize functions in the power system. The algorithm of reformulating fault recording, the correlativity of the reformulated waveform and its original one, and errors produced in the research process are researched. The high correlation coefficient between the reformulated waveform and its original one shows that the algorithm studied in the article offers a simple and convenient option for fault recording analysis.
