Hidden Failure in Protective Relays: Supervision and Control
… the relay system to prevent trips due to hidden failures. During wide area network disturbances, it adapts the relay system to increase security of the power system. The RSS works passively in the sense that it waits for events to occur in the existing relay system before taking any …

Risk Assessment of Power System Catastrophic Failures and Hidden Failure Monitoring & Control System
… in a power system, the risks of catastrophic failures caused by hidden failures in the hardware or software components of the protection system. The disturbance propagation mechanism is revealed by the analysis of the 1977 New York Blackout. The step-by-step process of estimating the relay …

Hidden Failures in Protection Systems and its Impact on Power System Wide-area Disturbances
This document explores Hidden Failures in protection systems, which have been identified as key contributors in the degradation of Power System wide-area disturbances. The Hidden Failure Modes in which the protection systems may fail to operate correctly and their consequences are identified in a …

Analysis of power system disturbances due to relay hidden failures
… linkage between power system disturbances and failures in relaying systems. The annual disturbance reports prepared by the North American Electric Reliability Council were examined. It has been found that relaying system failures plays very important role in power system cascading outages. The …

Hidden Failures in Shipboard Electrical Integrated Propulsion Plants
… this work. A model was developed for simulating hidden failures on shipboard integrated propulsion plants, IPP. The model was then used to evaluate the segregation of the IPP high voltage, HV, buses in a similar fashion as a shipboard firemain. The HV buses were segregated when loss of propulsion …

A Methodology to Assess and Rank the Effects of Hidden Failures in Protection Schemes based on Regions of Vulnerability and Index of Severity
… of the disturbances. This research defined hidden failures of protection schemes and showed that these kinds of failures have contributed in the degradation of 70-80 percent of the wide-area disturbances. During a wide-area disturbance analysis, it was found that hidden failures in …

Failure Finding Interval Optimization for Periodically Inspected Repairable Systems
… for companies for many years. For systems with hidden or unrevealed failures (i.e., failures are not self-announcing), a common practice is to regularly inspect the system looking for such failures. Examples of these systems include protective devices, emergency devices, standby units, …

Enabling Communication and Networking Technologies for Smart Grid
… Council (NERC) has concluded that the hidden failure induced tripping of distance relays is responsible for 70% of the U.S. blackouts. As a part of this dissertation, agent based distance relaying protection scheme is proposed to improve the robustness of distance relays to hidden …
