Failure detection and fault diagnosis in smart grids
FY 2016-17
Summary
The term smart grid refers to a power grid in which electricity distribution and management is upgraded by incorporating advanced two-way communications and pervasive computing capabilities for improved control, efficiency, reliability and safety. This has the potential for delivering power more efficiently by allowing for fast responses to wide ranging conditions and events e.g. outages, change in demand. A fast response, however, requires that outages be detected quickly and that fault diagnosis that detects the root cause (fault) is fast.. This requires software that can analyze measurements taken by smart meters and other types of sensorse.g., a sensor that can measure the voltage on a transmission line. With Tillsonburg Hydro we will develop new algorithms for failure detection and fault diagnosis.
