Induction motors are one of the most used machines because they provide the necessary traction force for many industrial applications. Their easy operation, installation, maintenance, and reliability make them preferred over other electrical motors. Mechanical and electrical failures, as with other machines, can appear at any stage of their service life, making the stator intern-turn short-circuit fault (ITSC) stand out. Hence, its detection is necessary in order to extend and save useful life, avoiding a breakdown and unprogrammed maintenance processes as well as, in the worst circumstances, a total loss of the machine. Nonetheless, the challenge lies in detecting this type of fault, which has made the analysis and diagnosis processes easier. Such is the case with convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which facilitate the development of methodologies for pattern recognition in several areas of knowledge. Unfortunately, these techniques require a large amount of data for an adequate training process, which is not always available. In this sense, this paper presents a new methodology for the detection of incipient ITSC faults employing a modified cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the current stator signal. Then, these are converted to images and fed into a fast and compact CNN model, trained with a small data set, reaching up to 99.16% accuracy for seven conditions (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 short-circuited turns) and four mechanical load conditions.

Transformers are key elements in electrical systems. Although they are robust machines, different faults can appear due to their inherent operating conditions, e.g., the presence of different electrical and mechanical stresses. Among the different elements that compound a transformer, the winding is one of the most vulnerable parts, where the damage of turn-to-turn short circuits is one of the most studied faults since low-level damage (i.e., a low number of short-circuited turns—SCTs) can lead to the overall fault of the transformer; therefore, early fault detection has become a fundamental task. In this regard, this paper presents a machine learning-based method to diagnose SCTs in the transformer windings by using their vibrational response. In general, the vibration signals are firstly decomposed by means of the variational mode decomposition method, where a comparison with the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method and the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method is also carried out. Then, entropy, energy, and kurtosis indices are obtained from each decomposition as fault indicators, where both the combination of features and the dimensionality reduction by using the principal component analysis (PCA) method are analyzed for the global effectiveness improvement and the computational burden reduction. Finally, a pattern recognition algorithm based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) is used for automatic fault detection. The obtained results show 100% effectiveness in detecting seven fault conditions, i.e., 0 (healthy), 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 SCTs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

WIND energy conversion systems ,AC DC transformers ,ELECTRIC power distribution grids ,ROBUST control - Abstract
In this paper, a power hardware in the loop (p-HIL) validation of a wind energy conversion system (WECS) interconnected into the balanced or unbalanced grid is presented. WECS power is obtained from wind fluctuations of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and transferred through the DC-AC power electronic converter (PEC). A robust control law based on a simple PI regulator and phasor analysis is proposed, having advantages, such as continuous power generation, operating both under balanced and unbalanced grid conditions; total harmonic distortion (THD) reduction less than 3%; power factor (PF) correction close to the unit; balanced grid currents; a simple mathematical analysis. The main objective is to keep the WECS connected to the electrical grid even in the presence of unbalanced threephase voltages, including contributions such as: i) VDC ripple reduction; ii) Balanced currents; iii) Sinusoidal currents; iv) Free of Sequence calculation; v) Free of dq0 or αβ Transforms; vi) Simple PI Loop control; and vii) Experimental Validation. The WECS efficiency and robustness are assessed by a complete mathematical examination, validated by the simulations in MATLABSimulink®, and support with experimental results through the real-time simulator Opal-RT Technologies®, a low-scale laboratory prototype, and p-HIL methodology. The results present a DC link voltage constant at 75 V and optimal and reliable power integration with an efficiency of 95%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transformers are vital elements in electrical networks, but they are prone to various faults throughout their service life. Among these, a winding short-circuit fault is of particular concern to researchers, as it is a crucial and vulnerable component of the transformers. Therefore, if this fault is not addressed at an early stage, it can increase costs for users and affect industrial processes as well as other electrical machines. In recent years, the analysis of vibration signals has emerged as one of the most promising solutions for detecting faults in transformers. Nonetheless, it is not a straightforward process because of the nonstationary properties of the vibration signals and their high-level noise, as well as their different features when the transformer operates under different conditions. Based on the previously mentioned points, the motivation of this work is to contribute a methodology that can detect different severities of short-circuited turns (SCTs) in transformers in both transient and steady-state operating regimes using vibration signals. The proposed approach consists of a wavelet-based denoising stage, a short-time Fourier transform (STFT)-based analysis stage for the transient state, a Fourier transform (FT)-based analysis stage for the steady-state, the application of two fault indicators, i.e., the energy index and the total harmonic distortion index, and two neural networks for automatic diagnosis. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, a modified transformer is used to experimentally reproduce different levels of SCTs, i.e., 0-healthy, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 SCTs, in a controlled way. The obtained results show that the proposed approach can detect the fault condition, starting from an initial stage for consolidation and a severe stage to accurately assess the fault severity, achieving accuracy values of 90%.

Currently, renewable energies, including wind energy, have been experiencing significant growth. Wind energy is transformed into electric energy through the use of wind turbines (WTs), which are located outdoors, making them susceptible to harsh weather conditions. These conditions can cause different types of damage to WTs, degrading their lifetime and efficiency, and, consequently, raising their operating costs. Therefore, condition monitoring and the detection of early damages are crucial. One of the failures that can occur in WTs is the occurrence of cracks in their blades. These cracks can lead to the further deterioration of the blade if they are not detected in time, resulting in increased repair costs. To effectively schedule maintenance, it is necessary not only to detect the presence of a crack, but also to assess its level of severity. This work studies the vibration signals caused by cracks in a WT blade, for which four conditions (healthy, light, intermediate, and severe cracks) are analyzed under three wind velocities. In general, as the proposed method is based on machine learning, the vibration signal analysis consists of three stages. Firstly, for feature extraction, statistical and harmonic indices are obtained; then, the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used for the feature selection stage; and, finally, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm is used for automatic classification. Neural networks, decision trees, and support vector machines are also used for comparison purposes. Promising results are obtained with an accuracy higher than 99.5%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a global health problem, which represents 15–20% of global deaths. This type of death can be due to different heart conditions, where ventricular fibrillation has been reported as the main one. These cardiac alterations can be seen in an electrocardiogram (ECG) record, where the heart's electrical activity is altered. The present research uses these variations to be able to predict 30 min in advance when the SCD event will occur. In this regard, a methodology based on the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) method to decompose the cardiac signal into its intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic diagnosis is proposed. Results for the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method and the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method are also compared. Results demonstrate that the combination of the CEEMD and the CNN is a potential solution for SCD prediction since 97.5% of accuracy is achieved up to 30 min in advance of the SCD event.

The transformer is one of the most important electrical machines in electrical systems. Its proper operation is fundamental for the distribution and transmission of electrical energy. During its service life, it is under continuous electrical and mechanical stresses that can produce diverse types of damage. Among them, short-circuited turns (SCTs) in the windings are one of the main causes of the transformer fault; therefore, their detection in an early stage can help to increase the transformer life and reduce the maintenance costs. In this regard, this paper proposes a signal processing-based methodology to detect early SCTs (i.e., damage of low severity) through the analysis of vibroacoustic signals in steady state under different load conditions, i.e., no load, linear load, nonlinear load, and both linear and nonlinear loads, where the transformer is adapted to emulate different conditions, i.e., healthy (0 SCTs) and with damage of low severity (1 and 2 SCTs). In the signal processing stage, the contrast index is analyzed as a fault indicator, where the Unser and Tamura definitions are tested. For the automatic classification of the obtained indices, an artificial neural network is used. It showed better results than the ones provided by a support vector machine. Results demonstrate that the contrast estimation is suitable as a fault indicator for all the load conditions since 89.78% of accuracy is obtained if the Unser definition is used.

- Abstract
The popularity of electric springs (ESs) has been grown in the last years mainly due to the boost in the growth of smart grids (SGs) and micro‐grids (μGs), as well as the high penetration of renewable energy sources. In general, ESs have a hardware structure similar to other compensator devices such as distributed flexible AC transmission systems or active filters. ESs offer the exchange of active and reactive powers with the electrical grid and the demand‐side load management. Their ability to simultaneously perform multiple tasks without the need of modifying their hardware structure classifies them as smart loads, distinguishing them from other types of compensators such as active filters, hybrid filters, dynamic voltage restorers, and distribution static VAR compensators, among others. In this work, an exhaustive review of ESs is carried out to cover their three main research trends, i.e. hardware structure evolution, different types of controllers, and applications in electric power distribution systems, SGs, and μGs. Moreover, their main advantages, disadvantages, and contributions in the power quality improvement are discussed. This review clarifies future research trends that have to be explored to advance the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INDUCTION motors -- Protection ,ELECTRIC potential ,THERMAL stability - Abstract
Voltage unbalance and mechanical overload generate negative effects on induction motors, producing thermal damages in the stator insulation and a reduction of the motor lifetime. In this regard, the development of protection devices is crucial as they can help to maintain the integrity of the motor and avoid irreversible damages such as insulation system breakdown, short-circuits, and so on. In this work, a methodology to obtain a time-protection model for induction motors from voltage unbalance is presented. The methodology is based on the thermal impact on the motor produced by mechanical overload and voltage unbalance conditions. In general, it consists of the following steps: i) induce in the motor different overloads and voltage unbalance levels and monitor their thermal profiles at the stator winding, ii) obtain the time–overload curve of the motor, iii) determine both the thermal level according to both the time-overload curve and the overload thermal profile, and iv) estimate the parameters of the time-unbalance model using both the thermal level obtained and the unbalance thermal profiles. The model is validated through its implementation in an online protection scheme, the results show a similar behavior between overload and unbalance protections in the safe thermal level defined by the protection models. The protection scheme is carried out over a 750 W three-phase induction motor under different overload and voltage unbalance operating conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INDUCTION motors ,ELECTRIC potential ,STATORS - Abstract
Overheating is a negative effect that induction motors suffer under either mechanical or electrical anomalous conditions, which can decrement the motors' useful life or produce catastrophic damage. In this sense, a new approach for assisting in the analysis and solution of problems related to overheating in induction motors is the correlation of thermal effects between the abovementioned conditions. In this study, a methodology for the experimental extraction of mathematical models that correlate the thermal effect on the induction motor stator due to voltage unbalance and mechanical overload is developed. In general, the proposed methodology is based on thermal gradients at different points of an induction motor stator. These thermal gradients are generated from either voltage unbalance or mechanical overload. For voltage unbalance estimation, the definitions of IEEE standard 141, IEEE standard 1159, and NEMA norm are considered. The correlation models are carried out and validated experimentally on a three-phase induction motor of 746 W (1 hp). Results demonstrate effectiveness in the correlation at different stator points of both variables: unbalance voltage and mechanical overload. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diverse conditions in power systems, such as massive use of nonlinear loads, continuous switching and operation of large electrical loads, and the integration of renewable energies, among others, have adversely affected the power quality (PQ) because they produce undesirable distortions in the waveforms of voltage and current. The conventional way to quantify the PQ is using the PQ indices (PQIs). Yet, the nonstationary properties of voltage and current signals degrade the PQIs estimation whenever classical techniques are used. In this paper, a methodology based on single-sideband modulation method and the Wavelet and Hilbert transforms for the estimation of instantaneous PQIs is proposed. It is shown that the proposal yields better tracking of transitory changes in the voltage/current signals than classical techniques such as the short-time Fourier transform. The PQIs used are the root-mean-square values, frequency, total harmonic distortion, active power, reactive power, apparent power, distortion power, power factor, and total power factor. PQIs performance is validated using synthetic and real signals. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Induction motors, key elements for industry, are susceptible to one or more faults at the same time; yet, they can keep working without affecting the process, but increasing the production costs. For this reason, a monitoring system that can efficiently diagnose the induction motor condition, even under multiple combined faults, is a demanding task. In this work, a methodology and its implementation into a field programmable gate array for an online and real-time monitoring system of multiple combined faults are presented. First, the fractal dimension approach, using the Katz algorithm, is introduced as a measure of variation of 3-axis startup vibration signals for the induction motor condition, considering that these signals describe changes on its dynamic characteristics due to the different faults. Then, an artificial neural network determines in an automatic way the induction motor condition according to the fractal dimension values. The obtained results show a higher overall efficiency than previous works for detecting broken rotor bars, outer-race bearing defects, unbalance, and their combinations, as well as a healthy condition.

For industry, the induction motors are essential elements in production chains. Despite the robustness of induction motors, they are susceptible to failures. The broken rotor bar (BRB) fault in induction motors has received special attention since one of its characteristics is that the motor can continue operating with apparent normality; however, at certain point the fault may cause severe damage to the motor. In this work, a methodology to detect BRBs using vibration signals is proposed. The methodology uses the Shannon entropy to quantify the amount of information provided by the vibration signals, which changes due to the presence of new frequency components associated with the fault. For automatic diagnosis, the K-means cluster algorithm and a decision-making unit that looks for the nearest cluster through the Euclidian distance are applied. Unlike other reported works, the proposal can diagnose the BRB condition during startup transient and steady state regimes of operation. Additionally, the proposal is also implemented into a field programmable gate array in order to offer a low-cost and low-complex online monitoring system. The obtained results demonstrate the proposal effectiveness to diagnose half, one, and two BRBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Accurate and fast characterization of voltage variations helps to evaluate their severity on equipment and activate protections. In this paper, a methodology for tracking and characterization of voltage variations, sample to sample, is presented. It consists of a Hilbert transform to estimate the voltage of the signal’s envelope, a fuzzy logic system to track down the type of voltage variation, and a rule-based method for the final identification and decision making according to IEEE Std 1159-2009. Unlike some techniques presented in the literature for tracking voltage variations such as the Kalman filter and adaptive linear network techniques, the proposed methodology requires neither a harmonic model nor an algorithm to adjust the model parameters, which in many cases increases the computational burden and time tracking. It is worth mentioning that the proposed classification stage does not need a training stage; therefore, its development is easier and its efficiency does not depend on a data training set. The performance of the proposed methodology is validated and tested using synthetic signals as well as real measurements of voltage variations. In addition, an implementation of our methodology into an field-programmable gate array based system is performed in an effort to offer a low-cost and portable system-on-a-chip solution for online and real-time monitoring of voltage variations.

- Abstract
The use of computer numerical control machine tools allows the industries to reduce costs and operating time while increasing the quality of the manufactured products. However, any malfunction in the equipment can partially affect the manufacturing process or even provoke the complete production interruption. For this reason, studies about phenomena that could affect the machinery are of interest for the manufacturing industry. In this sense, any disturbance in the electric system could either damage or affect the correct machine operation. The contribution of this work is to estimate the repercussion of voltage sags in conventional turning processes. This study is centered in the parameters of spindle motor torque and workpiece rugosity. A methodology and an analysis procedure are proposed to achieve the mentioned task. The methodology consists of estimating the values of power and torque during the electrical disturbance and establishing their relationship with the surface roughness index, Ra. The input parameters are the voltage, current and spindle speed that are monitored in a computer numerical control lathe affected by different levels of sags; also, the measurement of the workpiece surface roughness is used in the methodology. The analysis consists of calculating torque and rugosity variations due to induced voltage sags in order to find the effects of the sags in the machine performance. Results show that there exists a relationship between the voltage sags, the variations in torque and the rugosity. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

- Abstract
From voltage and current signals it is possible to obtain relevant information for solving some problems in several industrial and scientific applications as power quality (PQ) monitoring, monitoring and diagnosis of electrical machines, electric systems protection and control. At present, the PQ monitoring, measure through a set of PQ indices (PQI), is an important topic for the industrial sector since a poor PQ, characterised by the presence of harmonics in the power line, produces irregular or wrong operation of protection systems, excessive neutral currents in 3‐phase four‐wire systems, overheating of motors, transformers, capacitor banks and wiring in general. The PQI calculation is performed by many techniques proposed in the literature; however, they do not have either good performance for transient signals or the requirements for satisfying the power standards. This work proposes the assessment of the PQI‐based in neural networks for transient or stationary signals in 3‐phase power systems without losing the power standard requirements. Besides, this work contributes to the industrial application field by allowing the continuous and online monitoring of the PQI thanks to the field programmable gate array implementation of the proposed methodology.

Power quality disturbance (PQD) monitoring has become an important issue due to the growing number of disturbing loads connected to the power line and to the susceptibility of certain loads to their presence. In any real power system, there are multiple sources of several disturbances which can have different magnitudes and appear at different times. In order to avoid equipment damage and estimate the damage severity, they have to be detected, classified, and quantified. In this work, a smart sensor for detection, classification, and quantification of PQD is proposed. First, the Hilbert transform (HT) is used as detection technique; then, the classification of the envelope of a PQD obtained through HT is carried out by a feed forward neural network (FFNN). Finally, the root mean square voltage (Vrms), peak voltage (Vpeak), crest factor (CF), and total harmonic distortion (THD) indices calculated through HT and Parseval's theorem as well as an instantaneous exponential time constant quantify the PQD according to the disturbance presented. The aforementioned methodology is processed online using digital hardware signal processing based on field programmable gate array (FPGA). Besides, the proposed smart sensor performance is validated and tested through synthetic signals and under real operating conditions, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Induction motors fed through variable speed drives (VSD) are widely used in different industrial processes. Nowadays, the industry demands the integration of smart sensors to improve the fault detection in order to reduce cost, maintenance and power consumption. Induction motors can develop one or more faults at the same time that can be produce severe damages. The combined fault identification in induction motors is a demanding task, but it has been rarely considered in spite of being a common situation, because it is difficult to identify two or more faults simultaneously. This work presents a smart sensor for online detection of simple and multiple-combined faults in induction motors fed through a VSD in a wide frequency range covering low frequencies from 3 Hz and high frequencies up to 60 Hz based on a primary sensor being a commercially available current clamp or a hall-effect sensor. The proposed smart sensor implements a methodology based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT), RMS calculation and artificial neural networks (ANN), which are processed online using digital hardware signal processing based on field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Power quality monitoring is a theme in vogue and accurate frequency measurement of the power line is a major issue. This problem is particularly relevant for power generating systems since the generated signal must comply with restrictive standards. The novelty of this work is the development of a smart sensor for real-time high-resolution frequency measurement in accordance with international standards for power quality monitoring. The proposed smart sensor utilizes commercially available current clamp, hall-effect sensor or resistor as primary sensor. The signal processing is carried out through the chirp z-transform. Simulations and experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed smart sensor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the most critical devices in an electrical system is the transformer. It is continuously under different electrical and mechanical stresses that can produce failures in its components and other electrical network devices. The short-circuited turns (SCTs) are a common winding failure. This type of fault has been widely studied in literature employing the vibration signals produced in the transformer. Although promising results have been obtained, it is not a trivial task if different severity levels and a common high-level noise are considered. This paper presents a methodology based on statistical time features (STFs) and support vector machines (SVM) to diagnose a transformer under several SCTs conditions. As STFs, 19 indicators from the transformer vibration signals are computed; then, the most discriminant features are selected using the Fisher score analysis, and the linear discriminant analysis is used for dimension reduction. Finally, a support vector machine classifier is employed to carry out the diagnosis in an automatic way. Once the methodology has been developed, it is implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to provide a system-on-a-chip solution. A modified transformer capable of emulating different SCTs severities is employed to validate and test the methodology and its FPGA implementation. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposal for diagnosing the transformer condition as an accuracy of 96.82% is obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The electric spring (ES) is a contemporary device that has emerged as a viable alternative for solving problems associated with voltage and power stability in distributed generation-based smart grids (SG). In order to study the integration of ESs into the electrical network, the steady-state simulation models have been developed as an essential tool. Typically, these models require an equivalent electrical circuit of the in-test networks, which implies adding restrictions for its implementation in simulation software. These restrictions generate simplified models, limiting their application to specific scenarios, which, in some cases, do not fully apply to the needs of modern power systems. Therefore, a robust steady-state model for the ES is proposed in this work to adequately represent the power exchange of multiples ESs in radial micro-grids (µGs) and renewable energy sources regardless of their physical location and without the need of additional restrictions. For solving and controlling the model simulation, a modified backward–forward sweep method (MBFSM) is implemented. In contrast, the voltage control determines the operating conditions of the ESs from the steady-state solution and the reference voltages established for each ES. The model and algorithms of the solution and the control are validated with dynamic simulations. For the quasi-stationary case with distributed renewable generation, the results show an improvement higher than 95% when the ESs are installed. On the other hand, the MBFSM reduces the number of iterations by 34% on average compared to the BFSM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PHASOR measurement - Abstract
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are important elements in power systems to monitor and know the real network condition. In order to regulate the performance of PMUs, the IEEE Std. C37.118.1 stablishes two classes—P and M, where the phasor estimation is carried out using a quadrature oscillator and a low-pass (LP) filter for modulation and demodulation, respectively. The LP filter plays the most important role since it determines the accuracy, response time and rejection capability of both harmonics and aliased signals. In this regard and by considering that the M-class filters are used for more accurate measurements, the IEEE Std. presents different M-class filters for different reporting rates (when a result is given). However, they can degrade their performance under frequency deviations if the LP frequency response is not properly considered. In this work, a unified model for magnitude compensation under frequency deviations for all the M-class filters is proposed, providing the necessary values of compensation to improve their performance. The model considers the magnitude response of the M-class filters for different reporting rates, a normalized frequency range based on frequency dilation and a fitted two-variable function. The effectiveness of the proposal is verified using both static and dynamic conditions for frequency deviations. Besides that, a real-time simulator to generate test signals is also used to validate the proposed methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although induction motors (IMs) are robust and reliable electrical machines, they can suffer different faults due to usual operating conditions such as abrupt changes in the mechanical load, voltage, and current power quality problems, as well as due to extended operating conditions. In the literature, different faults have been investigated; however, the broken rotor bar has become one of the most studied faults since the IM can operate with apparent normality but the consequences can be catastrophic if the fault is not detected in low-severity stages. In this work, a methodology based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatic detection of broken rotor bars by considering different severity levels is proposed. To exploit the capabilities of CNNs to carry out automatic image classification, the short-time Fourier transform-based time–frequency plane and the motor current signature analysis (MCSA) approach for current signals in the transient state are first used. In the experimentation, four IM conditions were considered: half-broken rotor bar, one broken rotor bar, two broken rotor bars, and a healthy rotor. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposal, achieving 100% of accuracy in the diagnosis task for all the study cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For wide-area measurement systems and smart grids, phasor measurement units (PMUs) have become key elements since they provide synchronized information related to the fundamental frequency components of voltages and currents. In recent years, some works have extended the concept of PMU to harmonic analysis due to the proliferation of nonlinear loads. In this work, as a first contribution, the reference model for P-class and M-class PMUs provided by the IEEE Standard C37.118.1 is expanded with the aim of obtaining the harmonic information and electric power quantities. Additionally, as a second contribution, the approach of global harmonic parameters (GHPs) for PMUs is proposed. Specifically, GHPs are introduced in this work as unified quantities regarding the overall harmonic content of voltages and currents signals. With the help of these parameters, the estimation of power quality indices (PQIs) according to the IEEE Standard 1459 can be carried out but with an important advantage, i.e., a reduced amount of data, which reduces the requirements of management, storage, and analysis. Finally, the mathematical formulations for PQIs using the proposal are also presented. It is important to mention that they are equivalent to classical formulations that use individual harmonic information; however, they exploit the advantage of PMUs that require a reduced amount of data. Several tests with synthetic and real signals are carried out to validate the proposal. Results demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transformers are vital and indispensable elements in electrical systems, and therefore, their correct operation is fundamental; despite being robust electrical machines, they are susceptible to present different types of faults during their service life. Although there are different faults, the fault of short-circuited turns (SCTs) has attracted the interest of many researchers around the world since the windings in a transformer are one of the most vulnerable parts. In this regard, several works in literature have analyzed the vibration signals that generate a transformer as a source of information to carry out fault diagnosis; however this analysis is not an easy task since the information associated with the fault is embedded in high level noise. This problem becomes more difficult when low levels of fault severity are considered. In this work, as the main contribution, the nonlinear mode decomposition (NMD) method is investigated as a potential signal processing technique to extract features from vibration signals, and thus, detect SCTs in transformers, even in early stages, i.e., low levels of fault severity. Also, the instantaneous root mean square (RMS) value computed using the Hilbert transform is proposed as a fault indicator, demonstrating to be sensitive to fault severity. Finally, a fuzzy logic system is developed for automatic fault diagnosis. To test the proposal, a modified transformer representing diverse levels of SCTs is used. These levels consist of 0 (healthy condition), 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 SCTs. Results demonstrate the capability of the proposal to extract features from vibration signals and perform automatic fault diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High performance, highly efficient DC-DC converters play a key role in improving the penetration of renewable energy sources in the context of smart grids in applications such as solid-state transformers, built-in power drives in electric vehicles and interfacing photovoltaic and wind-power systems. Advanced medium-frequency transformers (MFTs) are fundamental to enhance DC-DC converters and determining its behavior, therefore MFT design procedures have become increasingly important in this context. This paper investigates which type of core material, between nanocrystalline and silicon steel, has the best properties for designing MFTs for distinct applications. Unlike to other proposals, in this work, two 1 kVA-120 V/240 V-1 kHz lab MFT prototypes, with a different type of core material, are developed for the purpose of comparing its physical characteristics, behavior, and performance under real-life conditions. A final section, the experimental results show that the nanocrystalline MFT has greater power density and efficiency. The results of this work introduce nanocrystalline MFTs as an option in a wider range of applications in niches in which other materials are currently used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) have become powerful monitoring tools for many applications in smart grids. In order to address the different issues related to harmonics in power systems, the fundamental phasor estimator in a PMU has been extended to the harmonic phasor estimator by several researchers around the world. Yet, the development of harmonic phasor estimators is a challenge because they have to consider time-varying frequencies since the frequency deviation in the harmonic components is proportional to the harmonic order in a dynamic way. In this work, a new algorithm for harmonic phasor estimation using an instantaneous single-sideband (SSB) modulation is presented. Unlike other SSB-based approaches, its implementation in this work is based on concepts of instantaneous phase and instantaneous frequency. In general, the proposed algorithm is divided into two stages. Firstly, the estimation of the fundamental phasor is carried out by means of a complex finite impulse response (FIR) filter which provides the analytic signal used to compute the instantaneous magnitude, phase, and frequency. Secondly, a complex FIR filter bank is proposed for the estimation of the harmonic components, where the instantaneous SSB modulation technique is applied in order to center the harmonic components into specific narrow bands for each complex filter when an off-nominal frequency occurs. The validation of the proposed algorithm is carried out by means of the current standards of phasor measurement units, i.e., Std. C37.118.1-2011 and C37.118.1a-2014, which involve steady-state, dynamic, and time performance tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The induction motor (IM) is one of the most important elements in industry. Although IMs are robust machines, they are susceptible to faults, where the stator winding short-circuit fault is one of the most common ones. In this work, the Shannon entropy (SE) index and a fuzzy logic (FL) system are proposed to diagnose short-circuit faults, considering both different severity levels and different load conditions. In the proposed methodology, a filtering stage based on brick-wall band-pass filters is firstly carried out. After this stage, the SE index is computed to quantify the fault severity and a FL system is applied to diagnose the IM condition in an automatic way. Unlike other works that propose some types of space transformations, the proposal is only based on a filtering stage and a time domain index, requiring low computational resources. The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposal, i.e., the SE index quantifies the fault severity, regardless of the mechanical load, and the proposed FL system achieves a positive classification rate of 98%.

Over the past few years, power quality (PQ) monitoring has become of paramount importance for utilities and users since poor PQ generates negative consequences. In monitoring, fast detection and accurate classification of PQ disturbances (PQDs) are desirable features. In this work, a new method to detect and classify PQDs is proposed. The proposal takes advantage of the low computational resources of both a phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based signal processing scheme and the homogeneity approach. To classify the PQDs, if–then–else rules are used. To validate and test the proposal, synthetic and real signals of sags, swells, interruptions, notching, spikes, harmonics, and oscillatory transients are considered. For the generation of real signals, a PQD generator based on a power inverter is used. In the proposed method, the PMU information is directly used to classify sags, swells, and interruptions, whereas the homogeneity index is used to distinguish among the remaining PQDs. Results show that the proposal is an effective and suitable tool for PQ monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The application of signal processing techniques is a fundamental step for fault diagnostic methodologies. The application of empirical mode decomposition (EMD)-based methods such as classic EMD, ensemble EMD (EEMD), and complete EEMD (CEEMD) is presented in this work for the analysis of inrush current signals. This analysis leads to the detection of short-circuited turns in transformers. Results show that CEEMD provides the best performance, as it readily extracts the information related to the fault, requiring of acceptable computational resources. Actual inrush current signals of a transformer with short-circuited turns are also considered. The number of short-circuited turns ranges from 5 to 40. Useful indices, such as the Shannon Entropy, Energy, and root-mean-square value, are obtained from the information provided by the CEEMD approach. These indices are analyzed for both the transient state and the steady state of the current signals, providing the proper quantification of the fault severity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
