An on-line fault self-diagnosis method for sensor node is proposed. First, a flexible fault sensing circuit is designed as a state detection module on sensor node. Second, a self- diagnosis algorithm is proposed based on the hardware design and the failure analysis on sensor node. Finally, in order to ensure the WSN reliability, the voltage changes of each module working statuses can be observed using the state detection module and the faulty module will be found out timely. The experimental results show that this self-diagnosis method is suitable to sensor nodes in WSN.展开更多

A local measurement based secure and fast protection method is implemented by supervising a basic ROCOV relay with a directional element. This directional information is also used to develop a slower communication based DC line protection scheme for detecting high resistance faults. The proposed protection scheme is applied to a multi-level modular converter based three-terminal HVDC grid and its security and sensitivity are evaluated through electromagnetic transient simulations. A methodology to set the protection thresholds considering the constraints imposed by the breaker technology and communication delays is also presented. With properly designed di/dt limiting inductors,the ability of clearing any DC transmission system fault before fault currents exceeds a given breaker capacity is demonstrated.展开更多
