Application of Signal Processing Tools and Artificial Neural Network in Diagnosis of Power System Faults e-bog

Accurate, fast, and reliable fault classification techniques are an important operational requirement in modern-day power transmission systems. Application of Signal Processing Tools and Neural Network in Diagnosis of Power System Faults examines power system faults and conventional techniques of fault analysis. The authors provide insight into artificial neural networks and their applications, with illustrations, for identifying power system faults. Wavelet transform and its application are discussed as well as an elaborate method of Stockwell transform.The authors also employ probabilistic neural networks (PNN) and back propagation neural networks (BPNN) to identify the different types of faults and determine their corresponding locations, respectively. Both PNN and BPNN are presented in detail, and their applications are illustrated through simple programming in MATLAB Furthermore, their applications in fault diagnosis are discussed through multiple case studies.FEATURESExplores methods of fault identification through programming and simulation in MATLABExamines signal processing tools and their applications with examplesProvides knowledge of artificial neural networks and their application with illustrationsUses PNN and BPNN to identify the different types of faults and obtain their corresponding locationsDiscusses the programming of signal processing using wavelet transform and Stockwell transformThis book is designed for engineering students and for practitioners.
