Electric Distribution System Protection

US Patent:
2013013, May 30, 2013
Filed:
Nov 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/307740
Inventors:
Pan Yan - Niskayuna NY, US
Reigh Allen Walling - Clifton Park NY, US
Amol Rajaram Kolwalkar - Bangalore, IN
Michael Lewis Reichard - Schenectady NY, US
Wei Ren - Niskayuna NY, US
Swakshar Ray - Guilderland NY, US
International Classification:
G01R 19/00, G01R 31/00
US Classification:
702 58
Abstract:
A system for distributing electrical current to a plurality of loads includes a first sensor coupled to an input of a protection zone for measuring a first current entering the protection zone, wherein the protection zone includes at least a portion of an electrical distribution feeder. The system also includes a second sensor coupled to an output of the protection zone for measuring a second current exiting the protection zone, and a processor coupled to the first sensor and to the second sensor. The processor is programmed to receive measurements representative of the first current and the second current, and calculate a reactive current differential of the protection zone based on the first current and the second current. The processor is also programmed to compare the reactive current differential with a fault threshold, and generate an error notification if the reactive current differential is greater than the fault threshold.

System For Electric Distribution System Protection And Control And Method Of Assembling The Same

US Patent:
2013010, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 31, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/285886
Inventors:
Yan Pan - Niskayna NY, US
Wei Ren - Niskayuna NY, US
Swakshar Ray - Guilderland NY, US
Michael Reichard - Schenectady NY, US
Amol Rajaram Kolwalkar - Bangalore, IN
Reigh Allen Walling - Clifton Park NY, US
International Classification:
H02H 3/00
US Classification:
361 87
Abstract:
An electric distribution system includes at least one feeder and a protection and control system. The feeder includes at least one segment including a first end and an opposing second end. The protection and control system includes a protective device and an electric current measuring device coupled to the segment proximate each end. The system further includes at least one processor coupled in communication with the electric current measuring devices. The at least one processor is programmed to determine a difference between a synchronized first electric current measured proximate the first end and a synchronized second electric current measured proximate the opposing second end and determine a switching condition of the protective devices as a function of the difference between the synchronized first and second electric currents.
