Reliability Assessment of the Digital Relay Protection System

 

The quantitative assessment attempt of reliability indicators for the specific digital structure of the relay protection system by analogy with an assessment of similar digital systems in other industries is given in this work. The reliability models of system components are provided. The calculation sequence is shown. Calculation results give an optimistic evaluation of such protection creation and indicate the influence of the number of autonomous protection blocks reserved by the central protection and recovery time on the system availability.

Method of Conversion of Double Fed Machine Into Synchronous Operation Mode and its Simulation

 

Double fed induction machines, made on the base of wound rotor machines, thanks to the rapid progress in the converter equipment (due to widespread use of fully controlled thyristors and power transistors) nowadays are widely used as generators (wind power and small hydropower) as well as the motor-where relatively small speed adjustment range (30-40%) is required, by restrictions of the frequency inverter on the installed capacity. There are cases when the technology of their application as a generator and motor mode imposes their long-term operation in sub-synchronous rotational speed, i.e, without speed control. In this case, it is proposed to use only the rectifier side of the frequency inverter feeding the rotor winding of a double fed induction machines, switch into a synchronous mode of operation. This will greatly increase the delivery of reactive power into the grid and use the generator more efficiently. Presented a developed mathematical model of double fed induction machines, which allows to study of all operation modes of double fed induction machines in single set-up–by immediate designation (sub- and super-synchronous speed control); in synchronous generator mode with a significant reactive power output into the grid, as well as in squirrel cage induction generator mode.

Maintenance of Reliability of Methodical Support of the Management of Objects EPS  

One of the basic problems of development of intellectual control systems of maintenance service and repair of the equipment and devices of electro power systems is increase of reliability of methodical recommendations. The risk of the erroneous decision exists, first of all, because of presence among statistical data of operation of gross blunders, abnormal values. If to that still to add difference not casual samples statistical data of operation from theoretical representative samples random variables from a general data set, to consider multivariate character of statistical data of operation and absence of methods of the analysis small samples multivariate data, difficulty of the decision of this problem becomes obvious. The method which on the basis of fiducially the approach and theories of check of statistical hypotheses is capable to reveal abnormal realizations is developed. And application the express train-methods of calculation of critical fiducially values an interval for the chosen significance value, allows to solve this problem without special tables and the COMPUTER.

Study of Stochastic Model of a Two Unit System with Inspection and Replacement Under Multi Failure

The present paper studies a two non-identical units system model arranged in parallel with inspection and preparation time for replacement under multi failures. Initially, first unit (A) is in operative mode and other unit (B) is kept as warm standby. The first unit is subjected to two types of failures, i.e. minor failure and major failure.  On failure of the first unit, it will be sent for inspection to check the type of failure i.e. whether minor or major failure. If some minor failure is found, it will be repaired and on major failure, the unit will be replaced by the new unit. However, the system will take some preparation time for replacement. Further, the standby unit may also fail during the standby mode. There is a single repairman which is always available with the system. Different measures of reliability have been obtained to study the effectiveness of the system such as transition probabilities, mean time to system failure, availability, busy period of repairman and net profit incurred and various system parameters are analysed graphically.

Reliability Modelling and Assessment of Multi Standby Hybrid System

 

Systems connected to an external supporting device for their operations viewed as hybrid systems have been manufactured to meet the demand of industries, economic growth and populace in general. Companies and organizations heavily rely on these systems to conduct their business. The paper deals with the reliability and availability characteristics of four different systems requiring external supporting device for their operation. The system consists of main unit connected to the cold standby supporting devices. The failure and time of both main unit and supporting device are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Markov models are developed and differential difference equations are derived to obtain explicit expressions for the steady-state availability and mean time to failure and perform analytical and numerical comparisons. Comparisons show that system with five cold standby supporting devices is the most reliable system.

Shukla Distribution and its Application

In this paper a two-parameter lifetime distribution named, ‘Shukla distribution’ which includes several one parameter  lifetime distributions including exponential, Shanker, Ishita, Pranav ,Rani and Ram Awadh as particular cases, has been proposed and investigated. Its moments have been obtained. The hazard rate function, mean residual life function and stochastic ordering of the distribution have been discussed. Maximum likelihood estimation has been explained for estimating the parameters of the distribution. Applications of the distribution have been explained through real life time data and its fit has been found satisfactory over well-known one parameter and two-parameter lifetime distributions.

Fuzzy Reliability of a System by Converting Trapezoidal Intervalued Fuzzy Number to Pentagonal Triangular Intervalued Fuzzy Number

In classical set theory there exist only two possibility of any element belonging to the set yes or no, that is its probability of belonging to the set either 0 or 1, but this theory is fail to predictable in many system where the possibility of an element belonging to set is not exact, that is there exist some vagueness about the element affecting the system. Therefore L. A. Zadeh gives a new theory of fuzzyness, where the belongingness of an element can except 0 or 1 and take any value between [0, 1]. This new approach give us much benefit to modelling the real situation and find the reliability of any system. This theory also useful to find the most critical event in any fault tree model. Fuzzy theory are applicable in many areas industrial, technical, engineering, medical etc.

Calculating the Variance of the Linear Regression Coefficient

In this paper, we choose such a particular formulation of the problem of calculating linear regression coefficient, when the moments of observation form an arithmetic progression. It is proved that the variance of the trend estimation in this case decreases proportionally to the third degree of the length of the series of observations. If the estimation of a linear trend is based on several independent samples, the integral estimation of the trend is constructed and its variance is determined by special optimization procedure. This procedure is based on simple geometric consideration.

Refining Stochastic Models of Critical Infrastructures by Observation

The simulation of cascading effects in networks of critical infrastructures (CIs) can be approached in various ways, all of which at some point call for the specification of (numeric) model parameters. Taking stochastic models as one popular class of methods, finding proper settings for the values that determine the stochastic models can be a challenge. In this work, we describe a method of graphical specification of a probability value on a qualitative scale, and how to convert and use the obtained value as a prior for Bayesian statistics. The connection is made to the point of having the initial value specified only as an “initial guess”, which can be refined using Bayesian statistics. Eventually, under consistency conditions depending on the application, this amounts to an online learning approach that takes the parameter to convergence towards their true values, based on the user’s subjective initial guess, but never challenging a person to give a reliable number for a probabilistic parameter.
