Correlation of lightning events and faults in distribution power networks
Description:The paper deals with the analysis of the possible correlation between cloud-to-ground lightning discharges and relay operations inferred by using the experimental data obtained means of a measurement ... see moreset-up, installed on an Italian MV distribution network, and a statistical procedure based on the coordinated use of the Italian Lightning Location System (LLS) CESI-SIRF, the monitoring systems of protection manoeuvres and an advanced simulation tool for the calculation of lightning induced overvoltages. The procedure takes into account the uncertainties related to the estimation of lightning stroke location and current amplitude provided by the LLS. The experimental set-up, composed by a distributed monitoring system, is able to measure a-periodic voltage transients characterized by a frequency content up to 4 MHz. Three of these units have been installed in the feeder of a three-phase overhead distribution network with a total length of 21 km. The same feeder is protected with overcurrent and zero-sequence relays whose operations are recorded by a monitoring system with a 10-ms sampling time. The data collected during one year of operation of the experimental set-up have been analyzed together with the data collected by the LLS for a 144 km2 area covering the equipped feeder and its surrounding area, in order to account for all direct and indirect lightning events that may have caused a relay intervention. The data have been also used to test the calculation model. The paper eventually reports the results of the correlation analysis carried out using the mentioned procedure, which is used to evaluate the probability that a specific event, detected by the LLS and time-correlated to relay operation, may have been the cause of a flashover in the network.

Transient recovery voltages in vacuum circuit breakers generated by the early-interruption of the inrush current of large motors
Description:The switching of medium voltage electrical motors is typically realized by means of vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) essentially in view of their elevated number of switching cycles. As known, switching... see more of VCBs generates important transient recovery voltages (TRVs)
that need to be properly evaluated in both VCB sizing and in the power system insulation coordination. As large medium voltage electrical motors are installed into plants typically controlled by means of Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems,
maneuvers that involve the motor inrush followed by its sudden de-energization (due, in general, to the intervention of an automatic diagnostic function), resulting into important TRVs, are not unusual. The paper aims at investigating the TRVs due to this specific type of
VCB switching by means of a model implemented in the EMTP-RV simulation environment. By making reference to a real plant, the validation of the implemented models is obtained by comparing the simulation results with some experimental transients provided by the plant data fault recorder. The paper finally discusses the adequacy of different countermeasures by analyzing their effectiveness for the TRVs limitation.

Continuous-Wavelet Transform for Fault Location in Distribution Power Networks: Definition of Mother Wavelets Inferred From Fault Originated Transients
Description:The paper presents a fault location procedure for distribution networks based on the wavelet analysis of the fault-generated traveling waves. In particular, the proposed procedure implements the conti... see morenuous wavelet analysis applied to the voltage waveforms recorded during the fault in correspondence of a network bus. In order to improve the wavelet analysis, an algorithm is proposed to build specific mother wavelets inferred from the fault-originated transient waveforms. The performance of the proposed algorithm are analyzed for the case of the IEEE 34-bus test distribution network and compared with those achieved by using the more traditional Morlet mother wavelet.
