This paper proposes a generalized logic-based method for fault diagnosis in multilevel inverters that can be integrated with reconfiguration methods. Thus, both effective fault diagnosis and fault tolerance can be accomplished. To validate such integration, the proposed fault diagnosis method is applied to a five-level neutral point clamped inverter with three reconfiguration methods proposed in the...
A method for the multiple faults diagnosis in linear analog circuits is presented in this paper. The proposed approach is based upon the concept named by the indirect compensation theorem. This theorem is reducing the procedure of fault diagnosis in the analog circuit to the symbolic analysis process. An extension of the indirect compensation theorem for the linear subcircuit is proposed. The indirect...
A novel monitoring system, designed to detect open-circuit (OC) faults that occur in the matrix converter (MC) topology, is proposed in this work. In this monitoring system, a new diagnosis method is implemented which is based on the discrete wavelet transform analysis of the measured output current waveform. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the proposed method and its resistivity to erroneous...
This paper presents a wide area protection multi-agent system with high degree of tolerance to faults. Agents in this protection system detect and locate faults by comparing current measurements across the protected component following principles of conventional differential protection; yet they perform sensor data integrity evaluation through a trip confirmation mechanism, by cooperating and collaborating...
A novel diagnosis method is proposed in this work which is designed to detect open-circuit faults that occur in the matrix converter topology. In the potential application range of this type of converters, increased reliability and fault tolerance of the drive system is required through its remedial operation in cases of partial failures. All these requirements indicate that a monitoring system that...
This paper presents novel Built In Sensor (BIS) to test a well-known analog building block; the Current Feedback Operational Amplifier (CFOA). The proposed BIS tests on the terminal characteristics of the analog block. It has no voltage degradation. Moreover, it has a simple design, very small area and can detect both short and open circuit faults. Simulations are made to test CFOA-based universal...
In this paper a new approach based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for measurement-type current transformer design has been proposed. This algorithm presents design parameters of current transformer in order to minimize ratio and phase displacement errors to 1.2 times of rated current and also construction cost. It has better performance in comparison with common methods of CT designing that...
