In recent year, many fault diagnosis methods of power systems are proposed, including expert system [2], artificial neural network [3], optimization technology [4], rough set theory [5, 6], Petri net [7], and Bayesian network [6]. In order to meet certain preconditions in the existing diagnosis methods, some assumptions are made for them. But in some cases these assumptions may be contrary to reality and may even cause error diagnosis results. For example, when the information of protective device is incomplete, the fault diagnosis’ conclusion may be incorrect. So the crucial difficulty of fault diagnosis is how to guarantee the corrective and effective diagnosis results for power systems with incomplete information [8]. In other words, if we want to get the corrective and effective diagnosis results, we have to know how to obtain the unknown information by utilizing the known information under the condition of incomplete information [911].

1 Introduction

Fault diagnosis of power systems is a method which usesthe information collected from protective relays and circuitbreaker to recognize fault component and malfunctioned ortripped PRs and CBs It is generally known that the faultcomponent recognition is the crucial problem in engineeringapplication [1] In recent year many fault diagnosis methodsof power systems are proposed including expert system [2]artificial neural network [3] optimization technology [4]rough set theory [5 6] Petri net [7] and Bayesian network[6] In order to meet certain preconditions in the existingdiagnosismethods some assumptions aremade for them Butin some cases these assumptions may be contrary to realityand may even cause error diagnosis results For examplewhen the information of protective device is incompletethe fault diagnosisrsquo conclusion may be incorrect So thecrucial difficulty of fault diagnosis is how to guarantee thecorrective and effective diagnosis results for power systemswith incomplete information [8] In other words if we wantto get the corrective and effective diagnosis results we have

2 Basis Introduction of Gray System Theoryand Gray Correlation Analysis

21 Basal Principle of Gray System Theory Gray systemtheory which is established by Chinese scholar ProfessorDeng Ju-Long in 1982 has been used to research uncertainproblem with lack of data and information In generalspeaking some information is known and other pieces ofinformation are unknown in uncertain data systems Themain idea of Gray system theory is to describe correctlythe systemsrsquo evolution law and to monitor effectively theirrunning behavior by extracting valuable information fromthe known information Over forty years later the structuresystem of Gray system theory has basically taken shapeThe theoretical basis includes Gray Matrix Gray Algebraand Gray Equation And the Gray model (GM) may alsoimplement the analysis evaluation prediction and controldecision of uncertain data systems by using spatial asso-ciation rule and sequence generation method For futureunderstanding of the advantages of Gray system theory sixbasic principles are introduced as follows

211 Differential Information Principle There is the differ-ence among differential information In other words thedifference is the information For example if there are twodifferential objects or systems everyone has unique informa-tion that is not similar to another piece of informationOne ofthemost basic pieces of informationwhich the human societyperceives is that the world comes from the difference betweenmatter and matter

212 Nonuniqueness of Solutions The solution is nonuniqueunder the condition of information being incomplete andvague The uncertainty of systems leads to the existence ofuncertain information and then causes nonuniqueness ofsolutions

213 Smallest Information Principle The basic idea of Graysystem theory is to utilize the smallest information achievingfrom known knowledge data to accomplish a given task Thesmallest information getting by researching the uncertainproblem with the small samples and poor information is thefundamental basis of making a distinction between Gray areaand no-Gray

214 Cognitive Foundation Principle

The Foundation of Cognition Is Information The accurate andcomplete cognition is determined according to definite andprecise knowledge the uncertain and incomplete knowledgemay also lead to vague cognition Correspondingly if thereis no information of systems the cognition of systems is notalso completed Thus the cognition should be studied basedon information

215 Innovation Priority Principle The function of newinformation is more important than old information forcognitive behaviors because the new information directlyreflects the current states of the system andmainly influencesthe future trend of the development

216 Gray Indestructibility Principle Notably the incom-plete and uncertain information is very much stronglyentrenched in real systems As new information is continu-ously generated in real engineering the cognition conclusionis improved gradually and the level of cognition will tend torationality and correctness Accordingly the Gray systems donot disappear

Based on the above principles the theoretical modelimplementing a given task may be constructed according tosmall sample and poor information However the runningstates and trend of systems are determined by many factorsin real application So we need to discern the primary factorsand lesser factors And fortunately the Gray correlation anal-ysis which is the important part of Gray system theory canjudge the connection in accordance with the approximationdegree of the two-dimensional curve in time domain andfrequencies domain The higher the similarity is the greaterthe correlation is For further analysis the Gray relationalaxioms are introduced firstly

22 Gray Correlation Axiom Suppose that the behaviorsequence of the system is119883

0= (1199090(1) 1199090(2) 119909

0(119899)) thus

the corresponding factor series is as follows

1198831= (1199091 (1) 1199091 (2) 1199091 (119899))

119883119894= (119909119894(1) 119909

119894(2) 119909

119894(119899))

119883119898

= (119909119898(1) 119909

119898(2) 119909

119898(119899))

(1)

For a given real 119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) if 119903(119883

0 119883119894) =

(1119899)sum119899

119896=1119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) satisfies

(1) normalization 0 lt 119903(1198830 119883119894) le 1 and 119883

0= 119883119894rArr

119903(1198830 119883119894) = 1

(2) integrity let 119883119894 119883119895isin 119883 = 119883

119904| 119904 = 0 1 119898 119898 ge

2 if 119894 = 119895 then 119903(119883119894 119883119895) = 119903(119883

119895 119883119894)

(3) even symmetry if 119883 = 119883119894 119883119895 119883 = 119883

119894 119883119895 hArr

119903(119883119894 119883119895) = 119903(119883

119895 119883119894)

(4) accessibility the value of the Euclid distance|1199090(119896) minus 119909

119894(119896)| is inversely proportional to the value

of the given real 119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896))

Thus 119903(1198830 119883119894) = (1119899)sum

119899

119896=1119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) is called as Gray

relational degree where 119903(1198830 119883119894) represents the correlation

coefficient of each pair of variables 119883119894and 119883

119895 Four condi-

tions (1ndash4) are also regarded as Gray relational four axioms

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3

Notice that four conditions just do positively meanthese things Normalization illustrates that there is a corre-lation between two arbitrary behavior sequences Integritydescribes that the Gray relational degree is influenced by theexternal environment If the outside environment is changedthe relational degree is also varied So the symmetry principleis not necessarily trueMeanwhile even symmetry representsthat the symmetry principle is true while the set of factorscontains just two factors Accessibility may constrain therelational quantization

23 Gray Correlation Analysis To get the computing formulaof Gray related degree the distance measure between vectors1199090(119896) and 119909

According to the formulas (2)-(3) the correlation coef-ficient between vectors 119909

119894(119896) is defined as

follows

where 120585 is called the resolution coefficients and the values of120585 are usually restricted to a certain range (0 1)

Notice that the discriminatory power varies dependingon the different correlation coefficients the smaller the120585 is the higher the differences between two correlationcoefficients are and the stronger the discriminatory power is

Let 119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) = 119903

0119894(119896) and then we define

1199030119894 (119896) (6)

and 119903(1198830 119883119894) is considered as the Gray correlation degree

between reference sequence 1198830and compare sequence 119883

119894

Obviously 119903(1198830 119883119894) satisfy Gray relational four axioms (1ndash4)

24 Computing Algorithm of Gray Correlation Degree By thedefinition ofGray correlation degree the computational stepsof Gray correlation are made as follows

(1) Collect the evaluation data on the evaluation indexsystem then the sequences of data may be stated in matrixform as follows

(1198830 1198831 119883

119898) = (

) (7)

where 119899 represents the number of indexes And 119883119894

=

(119909119894(1) 119909119894(2) 119909

119894(119899)) 119894 = 1 2 119898

(2) Apply dimensionless method to the original datasequences let the dimensionless model be

119894(119896) =

119894 = 0 1 119898 119896 = 1 2 119899

(8)

Thus the new data sequences processed by dimensionlessmodel may be rewritten as

Accordingly the rest of the data is as compare sequence(4) Compute the distance measure between the cor-

3 Model and Algorithm of FaultDiagnosis of Power Systems Basedon Gray System Theory

31 Overall Description of Fault Diagnosis of Power SystemsFirstly when some relevant components of power systemsmalfunction the corresponding protective relays and circuitbreakers will work actively and the fault components will bedisconnected with the power supplier So the power supplyinterrupted districts will be formed And then analyzing andeliminating breakdownwill be alsomade in the power supplyinterrupted districts Secondly in the blackout area theworking principle of protective relays and circuit breakerswillbe analyzed in detail and the information of the protectiverelays and circuit breakers which are in fault state may bededuced And based on what is mentioned above we mayestablish the state vector of the fault modes and quarantinedmodes of the components and give the assignment principleof the value for each member of the vector Finally thecorrelation degree between the reference component andcompare component will be calculated and sorted Thediscriminant criterion is that the component with maximumcorrelation value is as the fault component Moreover thenumbers of fault components increase constantly Whenthe information explanation degree of fault componentsreaches a specified threshold and the numbers of protectiverelays and circuit breakers which fail to operate or refusedoperation do not increase the number of fault componentsis determined According to the order of correlation degreethose components which have same account of maloperationand refused operation are regarded as the fault component Sothe ultimate goal of the fault diagnosis is also accomplished

Obviously some basic concepts should be explained suchas the power supply interrupted districts fault informationexplanation degree and judging rule of maloperation andrefused operation Next these related concepts and modelwill be explained step by step

32 Quick Recognition for the Power Supply InterruptedDistricts The formation mechanism of the power supplyinterrupted districts is established on the difference of thetopological structures of power systems before and after faultoccurrence When the fault happens the protection actionwill be implemented to trip the relevant circuit breakersand the fault components can be isolated from the systemsfor avoiding the expansion of accident On the basis of thereal time information of the circuit breaker the topologiesof systems before and after fault occurrence are recognizedby the real time topology analysis on power systems Andthe fault components can automatically form some passivenetworks according to the difference of the information ofthe topological structures So these passive networks areregarded as the power supply interrupted districts Thusthe recognition of fault components may be limited to theblackout area

The specific steps [12] are shown as follows

(1) Based on topology analysis for the normal powersystems the corresponding equivalent power

or the generator are remarked as the activenodes

(2) The topology analysis is made for the faulty systemagain and several subsystems are achieved at the sametime according to the different information of thetopological structures

(3) The nodes of each subsystem are searched for one byone and every component connected with each nodeis active or is not judged If the component is activethe subsystem is in the normal state and the searchends otherwise if all components in a subsystem aresearched for and no active components are found thesubsystem is regarded as the power supply interrupteddistrict

33 Construction for Fault State Vectors and Assignment Prin-ciple for Vector Elements The state vectors are established bymeans of the protective relays and circuit breakers If there are119899 circuit breakers and 119898 protective relays the form of statevectors can be expressed as

119865 (119896) = (119877 119862) = (1199031 1199032 119903

119898 1198881 1198882 119888

119898)

119896 = 1 2 119899

(12)

where119877 is the state value of protective relays and119862 is the statevalue of circuit breakers The assignment principle of vectorelements is as follows

(1) If the protective relay run in active mode then 119903119894= 1

119894 = 1 2 119898 otherwise 119903119894= 0

(2) Analogously if the circuit breaker is kept in off statethen 119888

119894= 1 119894 = 1 2 119899 otherwise 119888

119894= 0

(3) When the state of the element possesses two modessimultaneously the information of the protectiverelays conflicts with the information of the circuitbreakers That is to say the value of state is both 1 and0 In that case the value of119877 and119862 is given as 05 thatis 119903119894= 05 119894 = 1 2 119898 119888

34 Modeling the Fault Information Explanation DegreeFault information explanation degree (FIED) is the matchingdegree of quarantined state vector and fault state vectorof multicomponent system In the other words it is usedfor explaining the behavior of protective relays and circuitbreakers when the fault of multicomponent systems happens

Let 119865119860 119865119861 119865

119883 whose sizes of dimension are all 1 times

(119898 + 119899) be the fault state vector respectively to single-faultcomponents 119860 119861 119883 119865

0is quarantined state vector with

1 times (119898 + 119899) dimensionTherefore the fault information explanation degree

(FIED) of single component can be expressed by the follow-ing formula

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are all

greater than 1 among (119865119860+ 1198650))

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(13)

If there aremore than one faulty component in power systemFIED can be presented as follows

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are

all greater than 1

in [(119865119860+ 1198650) or (119865

119861+ 1198650) or (119865

119862+ 1198650) or sdot sdot sdot ])

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(14)

where the symbol ldquoorrdquo denotes that the greater value isselected for the values of corresponding elements

To locate out the fault components in systems we need tocompare the size of FIED Once FIED satisfies FIED = 100the fault components may be determined by formulas (13)and (14)

35 Judging Method of Malfunction and Rejection for Protec-tive Relays andCircuit Breakers According to the assumptionand analysis above the judging rule is designed as follows

(1) If the value of element of the vector (119865119860

minus 1198650) is

negative then the corresponding protection of protectiverelays or action of circuit breakers is regarded as malfunctionfor single-component fault Otherwise the protection ofprotective relays or trip of circuit breakers is regarded asrejecting action

(2) If there is more than one fault component in thesystem the judging rule is as follows The protection ofprotective relays or action of circuit breakers is regarded asmalfunctionwhile the value of the vector ((119865

119860or119865119861or119865119862orsdot sdot sdot )minus

1198650) is negative otherwise the action is regarded as rejecting

actionNotice that when failures happen the main protection

of PRs is first implemented to trip the circuit breakers Ifthe main protective relays do not work then the backupprotective relays begin to work to trip the circuit breakersTherefore the situation of the backup PRs deduced by (1) and(2) was the rejecting action it may be that the action of PRshas already tripped the action of CBs So we concern onlythe main protective relays and the circuit breakers and thengive priority tomain PRs when themalfunction and rejectingaction are considered in this paper

36 Fault DiagnosisModel of Single Component Theproblemof recognition for single-fault component can be solved byseeking for the fault assumptions which can best explain the

where 119894 stands for the total number of the single-fault andits value is determined by adding the number of componentsand the number of lines 119899 denotes the number of vectorelements and its value is the number of protective relays andcircuit breakers 120585 is on behalf of the resolution coefficient1198650(119896) indicates the quarantined faulty state vector 119865

119894(119896)

means the fault state vector of single-line or single componentand also is called the single-fault state vector119877

119894represents the

similarity degree between the quarantined fault state vectorand single-fault state vector and also is called correlationdegree

Notice that if the state vector of single-fault component119860 119861 119883 is119865

119860 119865119861 119865

119883 respectively then the dimension

of these state vectors is 1 lowast (119898 + 119899) and the dimensionof the quarantined fault state vector 119865

0is also 1 lowast (119898 +

119899) Meanwhile we may calculate the correlation degree andsort the calculated results Based on above discussion therecognition rule of fault component is given as follows

Rule 1 If the correlation degree between the reference statevector 119865

0and the compare state vector 119865

119894(119894 = 119860 119861 119883) is

the largest the corresponding part is fault component or faultline

Rule 2 Let the threshold of fault diagnosis be the meanof correlation degree If the correlation degree between thereference state vector 119865

0and new compare state vector 119865

119873

is more than the threshold the part is regarded as the faultcomponent or fault line

Therefore the possibility that fault happens may bedetermined for every single component according to Rules1 and 2

37 Diagnostic Procedure for Fault Components In the actualproject there is more than one fault component when faultsoccur But the diagnostic procedure may be designed on thebasis of the fault diagnosis model of single component So thespecific steps of fault diagnosis are shown as follows

4 Experiment and Its Results Analysis

Firstly regarding the simple circuit structure shown inFigure 2 as the power supply interrupted districts the follow-ing sections will explain and demonstrate in detail how to usetheworking principle of protection action to identify the statevectors of fault components

Obviously the simple system shown in Figure 2 consistsof 4 elements (ie A B L1 and L2) and 5 circuit breakers (ieCB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 and CB5) So there are 14 protectionactions respectively that is Am Bm L1Am L1Bm L2BmL2Cm L1Ap L1Bp L2Bp L2Cp L1As L1Bs L2Bs and L2Cs Tomake things simple these protection actions are representedsymbolically by 119903

According to the working principle of primary protectionand backup protection shown inTable 1 the state informationof protective relays and circuit breakers is deduced as shownin Table 2

Let 119888119894(119894 = 1 2 5) denote the action of five circuit

breakers Thus by combining with the state informationshown in Table 2 the fault state vector of every componentmay be determined using the assignment principle intro-duced in Section 33 Therefore the fault state vector of everyelement is shown in Table 3

If a quarantined fault state vector obtained by alarminginformation is (119903

1 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and it needs to determine

which node is in fault we need to compare the size ofcorrelation coefficient between quarantined fault state andreference state vector According the data in Table 3 thecorrelation degree may be computed by formula (15) that is

119903A = 08333 119903B = 08247

119903L1 = 07807 119903L2 = 08509

(16)

The sorting result is

119903L2 gt 119903A gt 119903B gt 119903L1 (17)

So we can infer that the probability that the Line L2malfunctions is maximum and then the number of faultelements (FEN) is 1 that is there is only one fault componentL2 in systems In this case we may get

FIED = (5 divide 7) times 100 = 714 (18)

Obviously the fault component cannot be completelydetermined Through analysis of the information data whenthere are two fault components L2 and A FIED is

FIED = (7 divide 7) times 100 = 100 (19)

Therefore the quarantined state vector indicates that twocomponents L2 and A are failure

By the judging rule of malfunction and rejection the pri-mary protection which corresponds to 119903

5and 119903

6and the

action 1198884which corresponds to the circuit breaker CB4 is

regarded as malfunction Note that the alarming informationis (1199031 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and the action 119888

3shown in formula

(21) is a rejection In other words the information whichcorresponds to the action of the circuit breaker CB3 has lostNamely the more accurate diagnosis results can be obtainedby the algorithm even if some information has lost in systems

The above computing process has primarily illustrated thecalculated steps of fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graysystems theory And the results indicate that the algorithmis effective and reasonable To further explain and verify therationality and effectiveness of the method mentioned in thispaper we take the classic system structure of local power relayprotection shown by [9] which contains 28 components84 protective relays and 40 circuit breakers to analyze thediagnosis procedureThe structure of the local power systemsis shown in Figure 3

And the meaning of these symbols is respectively asfollows S is Sending End of Line and R is Receiving End119898 isprimary protection 119901 represents first backup protection and119904 is second backup protectionThe working principle of theseprotections may be seen in the Resources [11 13] section

By comparing themethod proposed in this paperwith themethods in [13 14] we are testing out 4 most complicatedcircumstances in case of incomplete information and com-plete information to verify the effectiveness of the methodThe diagnosis results are listed as in Table 4

As is shown in Table 4 in case of complete informationthe diagnosis result for test sequence 1 and sequence 2 isidentical to the results in [11 12] in case of incompleteinformation the diagnosis result for test sequence 3 and testsequence 4 is identical to the results in [11] but it is notidentical to the result in [12] This is because there are somelost information in test sequence 3 and test sequence 4

Therefore to further test this algorithm proposed inthis paper we apply the presented algorithm in this paperand the Bayesian algorithm in [12] to diagnose the powersupply in intelligent traffic systems (ITS) The detectinginformation of the power supply in ITS contains the PTbreak-phase CT signal volts dc and current synchronoussignal temperature of sensors and the Airborne capacityIn real application the fitting curve between using the twomethods is as in Figure 4

Figure 4(a) showed the whole effect of diagnosis proce-dure Correspondingly Figures 4(b) and 4(c) described thepart effect of diagnosis algorithmThis indicates that the errorbetween using the two methods is very small This indicatesthat the algorithm presented in this paper is reasonable

However the running stability of real system needs to beensured for any algorithm whether or not the algorithm iseffective and reasonable That is to say the stability of thediagnosis procedure should to be analyzed For verifying therationality of the designed algorithm the anticipant precisionthreshold is set as 001 and every running test time is set as1000 epochs The total running performance is shown as inFigure 5

The running effect of diagnosis system indicated that theabnormal phenomenon of the security running took placeat 20th second and then the parameter of systems needs tobe adjusted to ensure the systems normal running Figure 5displays that the abnormal phenomena of the designeddiagnosis systems seem to change small in warning and yetthe running performance is very stable during the wholerunning process To find out why the danger happens wetake the running performance chart from 0th second to 40thsecond as in Figure 6

Figure 6 displays that the interior change of diagnosissystem was quite rapid Simultaneously there exists a glacisfrom the initial warning to normal running As a result the

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems

2 Basis Introduction of Gray System Theoryand Gray Correlation Analysis

21 Basal Principle of Gray System Theory Gray systemtheory which is established by Chinese scholar ProfessorDeng Ju-Long in 1982 has been used to research uncertainproblem with lack of data and information In generalspeaking some information is known and other pieces ofinformation are unknown in uncertain data systems Themain idea of Gray system theory is to describe correctlythe systemsrsquo evolution law and to monitor effectively theirrunning behavior by extracting valuable information fromthe known information Over forty years later the structuresystem of Gray system theory has basically taken shapeThe theoretical basis includes Gray Matrix Gray Algebraand Gray Equation And the Gray model (GM) may alsoimplement the analysis evaluation prediction and controldecision of uncertain data systems by using spatial asso-ciation rule and sequence generation method For futureunderstanding of the advantages of Gray system theory sixbasic principles are introduced as follows

211 Differential Information Principle There is the differ-ence among differential information In other words thedifference is the information For example if there are twodifferential objects or systems everyone has unique informa-tion that is not similar to another piece of informationOne ofthemost basic pieces of informationwhich the human societyperceives is that the world comes from the difference betweenmatter and matter

212 Nonuniqueness of Solutions The solution is nonuniqueunder the condition of information being incomplete andvague The uncertainty of systems leads to the existence ofuncertain information and then causes nonuniqueness ofsolutions

213 Smallest Information Principle The basic idea of Graysystem theory is to utilize the smallest information achievingfrom known knowledge data to accomplish a given task Thesmallest information getting by researching the uncertainproblem with the small samples and poor information is thefundamental basis of making a distinction between Gray areaand no-Gray

214 Cognitive Foundation Principle

The Foundation of Cognition Is Information The accurate andcomplete cognition is determined according to definite andprecise knowledge the uncertain and incomplete knowledgemay also lead to vague cognition Correspondingly if thereis no information of systems the cognition of systems is notalso completed Thus the cognition should be studied basedon information

215 Innovation Priority Principle The function of newinformation is more important than old information forcognitive behaviors because the new information directlyreflects the current states of the system andmainly influencesthe future trend of the development

216 Gray Indestructibility Principle Notably the incom-plete and uncertain information is very much stronglyentrenched in real systems As new information is continu-ously generated in real engineering the cognition conclusionis improved gradually and the level of cognition will tend torationality and correctness Accordingly the Gray systems donot disappear

Based on the above principles the theoretical modelimplementing a given task may be constructed according tosmall sample and poor information However the runningstates and trend of systems are determined by many factorsin real application So we need to discern the primary factorsand lesser factors And fortunately the Gray correlation anal-ysis which is the important part of Gray system theory canjudge the connection in accordance with the approximationdegree of the two-dimensional curve in time domain andfrequencies domain The higher the similarity is the greaterthe correlation is For further analysis the Gray relationalaxioms are introduced firstly

22 Gray Correlation Axiom Suppose that the behaviorsequence of the system is119883

0= (1199090(1) 1199090(2) 119909

0(119899)) thus

the corresponding factor series is as follows

119883119894= (119909119894(1) 119909

For a given real 119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) if 119903(119883

119895 119883119894)

(4) accessibility the value of the Euclid distance|1199090(119896) minus 119909

119894(119896)| is inversely proportional to the value

of the given real 119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896))

Thus 119903(1198830 119883119894) = (1119899)sum

119899

119896=1119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) is called as Gray

relational degree where 119903(1198830 119883119894) represents the correlation

coefficient of each pair of variables 119883119894and 119883

119895 Four condi-

tions (1ndash4) are also regarded as Gray relational four axioms

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3

Notice that four conditions just do positively meanthese things Normalization illustrates that there is a corre-lation between two arbitrary behavior sequences Integritydescribes that the Gray relational degree is influenced by theexternal environment If the outside environment is changedthe relational degree is also varied So the symmetry principleis not necessarily trueMeanwhile even symmetry representsthat the symmetry principle is true while the set of factorscontains just two factors Accessibility may constrain therelational quantization

23 Gray Correlation Analysis To get the computing formulaof Gray related degree the distance measure between vectors1199090(119896) and 119909

119894(119896) is defined as follows

According to the formulas (2)-(3) the correlation coef-ficient between vectors 119909

119894(119896) is defined as

follows

where 120585 is called the resolution coefficients and the values of120585 are usually restricted to a certain range (0 1)

Notice that the discriminatory power varies dependingon the different correlation coefficients the smaller the120585 is the higher the differences between two correlationcoefficients are and the stronger the discriminatory power is

Let 119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) = 119903

0119894(119896) and then we define

1199030119894 (119896) (6)

and 119903(1198830 119883119894) is considered as the Gray correlation degree

between reference sequence 1198830and compare sequence 119883

119894

Obviously 119903(1198830 119883119894) satisfy Gray relational four axioms (1ndash4)

24 Computing Algorithm of Gray Correlation Degree By thedefinition ofGray correlation degree the computational stepsof Gray correlation are made as follows

(1) Collect the evaluation data on the evaluation indexsystem then the sequences of data may be stated in matrixform as follows

(1198830 1198831 119883

119898) = (

) (7)

where 119899 represents the number of indexes And 119883119894

=

(119909119894(1) 119909119894(2) 119909

119894(119899)) 119894 = 1 2 119898

(2) Apply dimensionless method to the original datasequences let the dimensionless model be

1199091015840

119894(119896) =

119909119894 (119896)

(1119899)sum119899

119896=1119909119894(119896)

119894 = 0 1 119898 119896 = 1 2 119899

(8)

Thus the new data sequences processed by dimensionlessmodel may be rewritten as

(1198830 1198831 119883

119898) = (

(3) Define the reference sequence 1198831015840

sequence consists of the most optimal value or the worstvalue of every index That is 1198831015840

0(1) 1199091015840

Accordingly the rest of the data is as compare sequence(4) Compute the distance measure between the cor-

responding elements of the reference sequence 1198831015840

(6) Compute the correlation coefficient between vector1199091015840

0(119896) and vector 1199091015840

119894(119896) by formulas (4) and (5) that is

3 Model and Algorithm of FaultDiagnosis of Power Systems Basedon Gray System Theory

31 Overall Description of Fault Diagnosis of Power SystemsFirstly when some relevant components of power systemsmalfunction the corresponding protective relays and circuitbreakers will work actively and the fault components will bedisconnected with the power supplier So the power supplyinterrupted districts will be formed And then analyzing andeliminating breakdownwill be alsomade in the power supplyinterrupted districts Secondly in the blackout area theworking principle of protective relays and circuit breakerswillbe analyzed in detail and the information of the protectiverelays and circuit breakers which are in fault state may bededuced And based on what is mentioned above we mayestablish the state vector of the fault modes and quarantinedmodes of the components and give the assignment principleof the value for each member of the vector Finally thecorrelation degree between the reference component andcompare component will be calculated and sorted Thediscriminant criterion is that the component with maximumcorrelation value is as the fault component Moreover thenumbers of fault components increase constantly Whenthe information explanation degree of fault componentsreaches a specified threshold and the numbers of protectiverelays and circuit breakers which fail to operate or refusedoperation do not increase the number of fault componentsis determined According to the order of correlation degreethose components which have same account of maloperationand refused operation are regarded as the fault component Sothe ultimate goal of the fault diagnosis is also accomplished

Obviously some basic concepts should be explained suchas the power supply interrupted districts fault informationexplanation degree and judging rule of maloperation andrefused operation Next these related concepts and modelwill be explained step by step

32 Quick Recognition for the Power Supply InterruptedDistricts The formation mechanism of the power supplyinterrupted districts is established on the difference of thetopological structures of power systems before and after faultoccurrence When the fault happens the protection actionwill be implemented to trip the relevant circuit breakersand the fault components can be isolated from the systemsfor avoiding the expansion of accident On the basis of thereal time information of the circuit breaker the topologiesof systems before and after fault occurrence are recognizedby the real time topology analysis on power systems Andthe fault components can automatically form some passivenetworks according to the difference of the information ofthe topological structures So these passive networks areregarded as the power supply interrupted districts Thusthe recognition of fault components may be limited to theblackout area

The specific steps [12] are shown as follows

(1) Based on topology analysis for the normal powersystems the corresponding equivalent power

or the generator are remarked as the activenodes

(2) The topology analysis is made for the faulty systemagain and several subsystems are achieved at the sametime according to the different information of thetopological structures

(3) The nodes of each subsystem are searched for one byone and every component connected with each nodeis active or is not judged If the component is activethe subsystem is in the normal state and the searchends otherwise if all components in a subsystem aresearched for and no active components are found thesubsystem is regarded as the power supply interrupteddistrict

33 Construction for Fault State Vectors and Assignment Prin-ciple for Vector Elements The state vectors are established bymeans of the protective relays and circuit breakers If there are119899 circuit breakers and 119898 protective relays the form of statevectors can be expressed as

119865 (119896) = (119877 119862) = (1199031 1199032 119903

119898 1198881 1198882 119888

119898)

119896 = 1 2 119899

(12)

where119877 is the state value of protective relays and119862 is the statevalue of circuit breakers The assignment principle of vectorelements is as follows

(1) If the protective relay run in active mode then 119903119894= 1

119894 = 1 2 119898 otherwise 119903119894= 0

(2) Analogously if the circuit breaker is kept in off statethen 119888

119894= 1 119894 = 1 2 119899 otherwise 119888

119894= 0

(3) When the state of the element possesses two modessimultaneously the information of the protectiverelays conflicts with the information of the circuitbreakers That is to say the value of state is both 1 and0 In that case the value of119877 and119862 is given as 05 thatis 119903119894= 05 119894 = 1 2 119898 119888

119894= 05 119894 = 1 2 119899

34 Modeling the Fault Information Explanation DegreeFault information explanation degree (FIED) is the matchingdegree of quarantined state vector and fault state vectorof multicomponent system In the other words it is usedfor explaining the behavior of protective relays and circuitbreakers when the fault of multicomponent systems happens

Let 119865119860 119865119861 119865

119883 whose sizes of dimension are all 1 times

(119898 + 119899) be the fault state vector respectively to single-faultcomponents 119860 119861 119883 119865

0is quarantined state vector with

1 times (119898 + 119899) dimensionTherefore the fault information explanation degree

(FIED) of single component can be expressed by the follow-ing formula

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are all

greater than 1 among (119865119860+ 1198650))

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(13)

If there aremore than one faulty component in power systemFIED can be presented as follows

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are

all greater than 1

in [(119865119860+ 1198650) or (119865

119861+ 1198650) or (119865

119862+ 1198650) or sdot sdot sdot ])

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(14)

where the symbol ldquoorrdquo denotes that the greater value isselected for the values of corresponding elements

To locate out the fault components in systems we need tocompare the size of FIED Once FIED satisfies FIED = 100the fault components may be determined by formulas (13)and (14)

35 Judging Method of Malfunction and Rejection for Protec-tive Relays andCircuit Breakers According to the assumptionand analysis above the judging rule is designed as follows

(1) If the value of element of the vector (119865119860

minus 1198650) is

negative then the corresponding protection of protectiverelays or action of circuit breakers is regarded as malfunctionfor single-component fault Otherwise the protection ofprotective relays or trip of circuit breakers is regarded asrejecting action

(2) If there is more than one fault component in thesystem the judging rule is as follows The protection ofprotective relays or action of circuit breakers is regarded asmalfunctionwhile the value of the vector ((119865

119860or119865119861or119865119862orsdot sdot sdot )minus

1198650) is negative otherwise the action is regarded as rejecting

actionNotice that when failures happen the main protection

of PRs is first implemented to trip the circuit breakers Ifthe main protective relays do not work then the backupprotective relays begin to work to trip the circuit breakersTherefore the situation of the backup PRs deduced by (1) and(2) was the rejecting action it may be that the action of PRshas already tripped the action of CBs So we concern onlythe main protective relays and the circuit breakers and thengive priority tomain PRs when themalfunction and rejectingaction are considered in this paper

where 119894 stands for the total number of the single-fault andits value is determined by adding the number of componentsand the number of lines 119899 denotes the number of vectorelements and its value is the number of protective relays andcircuit breakers 120585 is on behalf of the resolution coefficient1198650(119896) indicates the quarantined faulty state vector 119865

119894(119896)

means the fault state vector of single-line or single componentand also is called the single-fault state vector119877

119894represents the

similarity degree between the quarantined fault state vectorand single-fault state vector and also is called correlationdegree

Notice that if the state vector of single-fault component119860 119861 119883 is119865

119860 119865119861 119865

119883 respectively then the dimension

of these state vectors is 1 lowast (119898 + 119899) and the dimensionof the quarantined fault state vector 119865

0is also 1 lowast (119898 +

119899) Meanwhile we may calculate the correlation degree andsort the calculated results Based on above discussion therecognition rule of fault component is given as follows

Rule 1 If the correlation degree between the reference statevector 119865

0and the compare state vector 119865

119894(119894 = 119860 119861 119883) is

the largest the corresponding part is fault component or faultline

Rule 2 Let the threshold of fault diagnosis be the meanof correlation degree If the correlation degree between thereference state vector 119865

0and new compare state vector 119865

119873

is more than the threshold the part is regarded as the faultcomponent or fault line

Therefore the possibility that fault happens may bedetermined for every single component according to Rules1 and 2

37 Diagnostic Procedure for Fault Components In the actualproject there is more than one fault component when faultsoccur But the diagnostic procedure may be designed on thebasis of the fault diagnosis model of single component So thespecific steps of fault diagnosis are shown as follows

4 Experiment and Its Results Analysis

Firstly regarding the simple circuit structure shown inFigure 2 as the power supply interrupted districts the follow-ing sections will explain and demonstrate in detail how to usetheworking principle of protection action to identify the statevectors of fault components

Obviously the simple system shown in Figure 2 consistsof 4 elements (ie A B L1 and L2) and 5 circuit breakers (ieCB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 and CB5) So there are 14 protectionactions respectively that is Am Bm L1Am L1Bm L2BmL2Cm L1Ap L1Bp L2Bp L2Cp L1As L1Bs L2Bs and L2Cs Tomake things simple these protection actions are representedsymbolically by 119903

According to the working principle of primary protectionand backup protection shown inTable 1 the state informationof protective relays and circuit breakers is deduced as shownin Table 2

Let 119888119894(119894 = 1 2 5) denote the action of five circuit

breakers Thus by combining with the state informationshown in Table 2 the fault state vector of every componentmay be determined using the assignment principle intro-duced in Section 33 Therefore the fault state vector of everyelement is shown in Table 3

If a quarantined fault state vector obtained by alarminginformation is (119903

1 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and it needs to determine

which node is in fault we need to compare the size ofcorrelation coefficient between quarantined fault state andreference state vector According the data in Table 3 thecorrelation degree may be computed by formula (15) that is

119903A = 08333 119903B = 08247

119903L1 = 07807 119903L2 = 08509

(16)

The sorting result is

119903L2 gt 119903A gt 119903B gt 119903L1 (17)

So we can infer that the probability that the Line L2malfunctions is maximum and then the number of faultelements (FEN) is 1 that is there is only one fault componentL2 in systems In this case we may get

FIED = (5 divide 7) times 100 = 714 (18)

Obviously the fault component cannot be completelydetermined Through analysis of the information data whenthere are two fault components L2 and A FIED is

FIED = (7 divide 7) times 100 = 100 (19)

Therefore the quarantined state vector indicates that twocomponents L2 and A are failure

By the judging rule of malfunction and rejection the pri-mary protection which corresponds to 119903

5and 119903

6and the

action 1198884which corresponds to the circuit breaker CB4 is

regarded as malfunction Note that the alarming informationis (1199031 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and the action 119888

3shown in formula

(21) is a rejection In other words the information whichcorresponds to the action of the circuit breaker CB3 has lostNamely the more accurate diagnosis results can be obtainedby the algorithm even if some information has lost in systems

The above computing process has primarily illustrated thecalculated steps of fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graysystems theory And the results indicate that the algorithmis effective and reasonable To further explain and verify therationality and effectiveness of the method mentioned in thispaper we take the classic system structure of local power relayprotection shown by [9] which contains 28 components84 protective relays and 40 circuit breakers to analyze thediagnosis procedureThe structure of the local power systemsis shown in Figure 3

And the meaning of these symbols is respectively asfollows S is Sending End of Line and R is Receiving End119898 isprimary protection 119901 represents first backup protection and119904 is second backup protectionThe working principle of theseprotections may be seen in the Resources [11 13] section

By comparing themethod proposed in this paperwith themethods in [13 14] we are testing out 4 most complicatedcircumstances in case of incomplete information and com-plete information to verify the effectiveness of the methodThe diagnosis results are listed as in Table 4

As is shown in Table 4 in case of complete informationthe diagnosis result for test sequence 1 and sequence 2 isidentical to the results in [11 12] in case of incompleteinformation the diagnosis result for test sequence 3 and testsequence 4 is identical to the results in [11] but it is notidentical to the result in [12] This is because there are somelost information in test sequence 3 and test sequence 4

Therefore to further test this algorithm proposed inthis paper we apply the presented algorithm in this paperand the Bayesian algorithm in [12] to diagnose the powersupply in intelligent traffic systems (ITS) The detectinginformation of the power supply in ITS contains the PTbreak-phase CT signal volts dc and current synchronoussignal temperature of sensors and the Airborne capacityIn real application the fitting curve between using the twomethods is as in Figure 4

Figure 4(a) showed the whole effect of diagnosis proce-dure Correspondingly Figures 4(b) and 4(c) described thepart effect of diagnosis algorithmThis indicates that the errorbetween using the two methods is very small This indicatesthat the algorithm presented in this paper is reasonable

However the running stability of real system needs to beensured for any algorithm whether or not the algorithm iseffective and reasonable That is to say the stability of thediagnosis procedure should to be analyzed For verifying therationality of the designed algorithm the anticipant precisionthreshold is set as 001 and every running test time is set as1000 epochs The total running performance is shown as inFigure 5

The running effect of diagnosis system indicated that theabnormal phenomenon of the security running took placeat 20th second and then the parameter of systems needs tobe adjusted to ensure the systems normal running Figure 5displays that the abnormal phenomena of the designeddiagnosis systems seem to change small in warning and yetthe running performance is very stable during the wholerunning process To find out why the danger happens wetake the running performance chart from 0th second to 40thsecond as in Figure 6

Figure 6 displays that the interior change of diagnosissystem was quite rapid Simultaneously there exists a glacisfrom the initial warning to normal running As a result the

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems

Notice that four conditions just do positively meanthese things Normalization illustrates that there is a corre-lation between two arbitrary behavior sequences Integritydescribes that the Gray relational degree is influenced by theexternal environment If the outside environment is changedthe relational degree is also varied So the symmetry principleis not necessarily trueMeanwhile even symmetry representsthat the symmetry principle is true while the set of factorscontains just two factors Accessibility may constrain therelational quantization

23 Gray Correlation Analysis To get the computing formulaof Gray related degree the distance measure between vectors1199090(119896) and 119909

where 120585 is called the resolution coefficients and the values of120585 are usually restricted to a certain range (0 1)

Notice that the discriminatory power varies dependingon the different correlation coefficients the smaller the120585 is the higher the differences between two correlationcoefficients are and the stronger the discriminatory power is

Let 119903(1199090(119896) 119909119894(119896)) = 119903

0119894(119896) and then we define

1199030119894 (119896) (6)

and 119903(1198830 119883119894) is considered as the Gray correlation degree

between reference sequence 1198830and compare sequence 119883

119894

Obviously 119903(1198830 119883119894) satisfy Gray relational four axioms (1ndash4)

24 Computing Algorithm of Gray Correlation Degree By thedefinition ofGray correlation degree the computational stepsof Gray correlation are made as follows

(1) Collect the evaluation data on the evaluation indexsystem then the sequences of data may be stated in matrixform as follows

(1198830 1198831 119883

119898) = (

1199090(1) 119909

) (7)

where 119899 represents the number of indexes And 119883119894

=

(119909119894(1) 119909119894(2) 119909

119894(119899)) 119894 = 1 2 119898

(2) Apply dimensionless method to the original datasequences let the dimensionless model be

1199091015840

119894(119896) =

119909119894 (119896)

119896=1119909119894(119896)

119894 = 0 1 119898 119896 = 1 2 119899

(8)

Thus the new data sequences processed by dimensionlessmodel may be rewritten as

(1198830 1198831 119883

119898) = (

(3) Define the reference sequence 1198831015840

sequence consists of the most optimal value or the worstvalue of every index That is 1198831015840

Accordingly the rest of the data is as compare sequence(4) Compute the distance measure between the cor-

responding elements of the reference sequence 1198831015840

(6) Compute the correlation coefficient between vector1199091015840

0(119896) and vector 1199091015840

3 Model and Algorithm of FaultDiagnosis of Power Systems Basedon Gray System Theory

31 Overall Description of Fault Diagnosis of Power SystemsFirstly when some relevant components of power systemsmalfunction the corresponding protective relays and circuitbreakers will work actively and the fault components will bedisconnected with the power supplier So the power supplyinterrupted districts will be formed And then analyzing andeliminating breakdownwill be alsomade in the power supplyinterrupted districts Secondly in the blackout area theworking principle of protective relays and circuit breakerswillbe analyzed in detail and the information of the protectiverelays and circuit breakers which are in fault state may bededuced And based on what is mentioned above we mayestablish the state vector of the fault modes and quarantinedmodes of the components and give the assignment principleof the value for each member of the vector Finally thecorrelation degree between the reference component andcompare component will be calculated and sorted Thediscriminant criterion is that the component with maximumcorrelation value is as the fault component Moreover thenumbers of fault components increase constantly Whenthe information explanation degree of fault componentsreaches a specified threshold and the numbers of protectiverelays and circuit breakers which fail to operate or refusedoperation do not increase the number of fault componentsis determined According to the order of correlation degreethose components which have same account of maloperationand refused operation are regarded as the fault component Sothe ultimate goal of the fault diagnosis is also accomplished

Obviously some basic concepts should be explained suchas the power supply interrupted districts fault informationexplanation degree and judging rule of maloperation andrefused operation Next these related concepts and modelwill be explained step by step

32 Quick Recognition for the Power Supply InterruptedDistricts The formation mechanism of the power supplyinterrupted districts is established on the difference of thetopological structures of power systems before and after faultoccurrence When the fault happens the protection actionwill be implemented to trip the relevant circuit breakersand the fault components can be isolated from the systemsfor avoiding the expansion of accident On the basis of thereal time information of the circuit breaker the topologiesof systems before and after fault occurrence are recognizedby the real time topology analysis on power systems Andthe fault components can automatically form some passivenetworks according to the difference of the information ofthe topological structures So these passive networks areregarded as the power supply interrupted districts Thusthe recognition of fault components may be limited to theblackout area

The specific steps [12] are shown as follows

(1) Based on topology analysis for the normal powersystems the corresponding equivalent power

or the generator are remarked as the activenodes

(2) The topology analysis is made for the faulty systemagain and several subsystems are achieved at the sametime according to the different information of thetopological structures

(3) The nodes of each subsystem are searched for one byone and every component connected with each nodeis active or is not judged If the component is activethe subsystem is in the normal state and the searchends otherwise if all components in a subsystem aresearched for and no active components are found thesubsystem is regarded as the power supply interrupteddistrict

33 Construction for Fault State Vectors and Assignment Prin-ciple for Vector Elements The state vectors are established bymeans of the protective relays and circuit breakers If there are119899 circuit breakers and 119898 protective relays the form of statevectors can be expressed as

119865 (119896) = (119877 119862) = (1199031 1199032 119903

119898 1198881 1198882 119888

119898)

119896 = 1 2 119899

(12)

where119877 is the state value of protective relays and119862 is the statevalue of circuit breakers The assignment principle of vectorelements is as follows

(1) If the protective relay run in active mode then 119903119894= 1

119894 = 1 2 119898 otherwise 119903119894= 0

(2) Analogously if the circuit breaker is kept in off statethen 119888

119894= 1 119894 = 1 2 119899 otherwise 119888

119894= 0

(3) When the state of the element possesses two modessimultaneously the information of the protectiverelays conflicts with the information of the circuitbreakers That is to say the value of state is both 1 and0 In that case the value of119877 and119862 is given as 05 thatis 119903119894= 05 119894 = 1 2 119898 119888

119894= 05 119894 = 1 2 119899

34 Modeling the Fault Information Explanation DegreeFault information explanation degree (FIED) is the matchingdegree of quarantined state vector and fault state vectorof multicomponent system In the other words it is usedfor explaining the behavior of protective relays and circuitbreakers when the fault of multicomponent systems happens

Let 119865119860 119865119861 119865

119883 whose sizes of dimension are all 1 times

(119898 + 119899) be the fault state vector respectively to single-faultcomponents 119860 119861 119883 119865

0is quarantined state vector with

1 times (119898 + 119899) dimensionTherefore the fault information explanation degree

(FIED) of single component can be expressed by the follow-ing formula

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are all

greater than 1 among (119865119860+ 1198650))

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(13)

If there aremore than one faulty component in power systemFIED can be presented as follows

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are

all greater than 1

in [(119865119860+ 1198650) or (119865

119861+ 1198650) or (119865

119862+ 1198650) or sdot sdot sdot ])

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(14)

where the symbol ldquoorrdquo denotes that the greater value isselected for the values of corresponding elements

To locate out the fault components in systems we need tocompare the size of FIED Once FIED satisfies FIED = 100the fault components may be determined by formulas (13)and (14)

35 Judging Method of Malfunction and Rejection for Protec-tive Relays andCircuit Breakers According to the assumptionand analysis above the judging rule is designed as follows

(1) If the value of element of the vector (119865119860

minus 1198650) is

negative then the corresponding protection of protectiverelays or action of circuit breakers is regarded as malfunctionfor single-component fault Otherwise the protection ofprotective relays or trip of circuit breakers is regarded asrejecting action

(2) If there is more than one fault component in thesystem the judging rule is as follows The protection ofprotective relays or action of circuit breakers is regarded asmalfunctionwhile the value of the vector ((119865

119860or119865119861or119865119862orsdot sdot sdot )minus

1198650) is negative otherwise the action is regarded as rejecting

actionNotice that when failures happen the main protection

of PRs is first implemented to trip the circuit breakers Ifthe main protective relays do not work then the backupprotective relays begin to work to trip the circuit breakersTherefore the situation of the backup PRs deduced by (1) and(2) was the rejecting action it may be that the action of PRshas already tripped the action of CBs So we concern onlythe main protective relays and the circuit breakers and thengive priority tomain PRs when themalfunction and rejectingaction are considered in this paper

36 Fault DiagnosisModel of Single Component Theproblemof recognition for single-fault component can be solved byseeking for the fault assumptions which can best explain the

alarming information and can be expressed by the followingmaximization problem

119894represents the

similarity degree between the quarantined fault state vectorand single-fault state vector and also is called correlationdegree

Notice that if the state vector of single-fault component119860 119861 119883 is119865

119860 119865119861 119865

0is also 1 lowast (119898 +

119899) Meanwhile we may calculate the correlation degree andsort the calculated results Based on above discussion therecognition rule of fault component is given as follows

Rule 1 If the correlation degree between the reference statevector 119865

0and the compare state vector 119865

119894(119894 = 119860 119861 119883) is

the largest the corresponding part is fault component or faultline

Rule 2 Let the threshold of fault diagnosis be the meanof correlation degree If the correlation degree between thereference state vector 119865

0and new compare state vector 119865

119873

is more than the threshold the part is regarded as the faultcomponent or fault line

Therefore the possibility that fault happens may bedetermined for every single component according to Rules1 and 2

37 Diagnostic Procedure for Fault Components In the actualproject there is more than one fault component when faultsoccur But the diagnostic procedure may be designed on thebasis of the fault diagnosis model of single component So thespecific steps of fault diagnosis are shown as follows

4 Experiment and Its Results Analysis

Firstly regarding the simple circuit structure shown inFigure 2 as the power supply interrupted districts the follow-ing sections will explain and demonstrate in detail how to usetheworking principle of protection action to identify the statevectors of fault components

Obviously the simple system shown in Figure 2 consistsof 4 elements (ie A B L1 and L2) and 5 circuit breakers (ieCB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 and CB5) So there are 14 protectionactions respectively that is Am Bm L1Am L1Bm L2BmL2Cm L1Ap L1Bp L2Bp L2Cp L1As L1Bs L2Bs and L2Cs Tomake things simple these protection actions are representedsymbolically by 119903

and B are Bus L represents Line the subscript119898 denotes theprimary protection 119904 stands for the first backup protectionand 119901 is on behalf of the second backup protection Throughanalysis of the circuit structure the working principle of theprimary protection and the backup protection is listed inTable 1

According to the working principle of primary protectionand backup protection shown inTable 1 the state informationof protective relays and circuit breakers is deduced as shownin Table 2

Let 119888119894(119894 = 1 2 5) denote the action of five circuit

breakers Thus by combining with the state informationshown in Table 2 the fault state vector of every componentmay be determined using the assignment principle intro-duced in Section 33 Therefore the fault state vector of everyelement is shown in Table 3

If a quarantined fault state vector obtained by alarminginformation is (119903

1 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and it needs to determine

which node is in fault we need to compare the size ofcorrelation coefficient between quarantined fault state andreference state vector According the data in Table 3 thecorrelation degree may be computed by formula (15) that is

119903A = 08333 119903B = 08247

119903L1 = 07807 119903L2 = 08509

(16)

The sorting result is

119903L2 gt 119903A gt 119903B gt 119903L1 (17)

So we can infer that the probability that the Line L2malfunctions is maximum and then the number of faultelements (FEN) is 1 that is there is only one fault componentL2 in systems In this case we may get

FIED = (5 divide 7) times 100 = 714 (18)

Obviously the fault component cannot be completelydetermined Through analysis of the information data whenthere are two fault components L2 and A FIED is

FIED = (7 divide 7) times 100 = 100 (19)

Therefore the quarantined state vector indicates that twocomponents L2 and A are failure

By the judging rule of malfunction and rejection the pri-mary protection which corresponds to 119903

5and 119903

6and the

action 1198884which corresponds to the circuit breaker CB4 is

regarded as malfunction Note that the alarming informationis (1199031 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and the action 119888

3shown in formula

(21) is a rejection In other words the information whichcorresponds to the action of the circuit breaker CB3 has lostNamely the more accurate diagnosis results can be obtainedby the algorithm even if some information has lost in systems

The above computing process has primarily illustrated thecalculated steps of fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graysystems theory And the results indicate that the algorithmis effective and reasonable To further explain and verify therationality and effectiveness of the method mentioned in thispaper we take the classic system structure of local power relayprotection shown by [9] which contains 28 components84 protective relays and 40 circuit breakers to analyze thediagnosis procedureThe structure of the local power systemsis shown in Figure 3

And the meaning of these symbols is respectively asfollows S is Sending End of Line and R is Receiving End119898 isprimary protection 119901 represents first backup protection and119904 is second backup protectionThe working principle of theseprotections may be seen in the Resources [11 13] section

By comparing themethod proposed in this paperwith themethods in [13 14] we are testing out 4 most complicatedcircumstances in case of incomplete information and com-plete information to verify the effectiveness of the methodThe diagnosis results are listed as in Table 4

As is shown in Table 4 in case of complete informationthe diagnosis result for test sequence 1 and sequence 2 isidentical to the results in [11 12] in case of incompleteinformation the diagnosis result for test sequence 3 and testsequence 4 is identical to the results in [11] but it is notidentical to the result in [12] This is because there are somelost information in test sequence 3 and test sequence 4

Therefore to further test this algorithm proposed inthis paper we apply the presented algorithm in this paperand the Bayesian algorithm in [12] to diagnose the powersupply in intelligent traffic systems (ITS) The detectinginformation of the power supply in ITS contains the PTbreak-phase CT signal volts dc and current synchronoussignal temperature of sensors and the Airborne capacityIn real application the fitting curve between using the twomethods is as in Figure 4

Figure 4(a) showed the whole effect of diagnosis proce-dure Correspondingly Figures 4(b) and 4(c) described thepart effect of diagnosis algorithmThis indicates that the errorbetween using the two methods is very small This indicatesthat the algorithm presented in this paper is reasonable

However the running stability of real system needs to beensured for any algorithm whether or not the algorithm iseffective and reasonable That is to say the stability of thediagnosis procedure should to be analyzed For verifying therationality of the designed algorithm the anticipant precisionthreshold is set as 001 and every running test time is set as1000 epochs The total running performance is shown as inFigure 5

The running effect of diagnosis system indicated that theabnormal phenomenon of the security running took placeat 20th second and then the parameter of systems needs tobe adjusted to ensure the systems normal running Figure 5displays that the abnormal phenomena of the designeddiagnosis systems seem to change small in warning and yetthe running performance is very stable during the wholerunning process To find out why the danger happens wetake the running performance chart from 0th second to 40thsecond as in Figure 6

Figure 6 displays that the interior change of diagnosissystem was quite rapid Simultaneously there exists a glacisfrom the initial warning to normal running As a result the

5 Conclusion

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems

31 Overall Description of Fault Diagnosis of Power SystemsFirstly when some relevant components of power systemsmalfunction the corresponding protective relays and circuitbreakers will work actively and the fault components will bedisconnected with the power supplier So the power supplyinterrupted districts will be formed And then analyzing andeliminating breakdownwill be alsomade in the power supplyinterrupted districts Secondly in the blackout area theworking principle of protective relays and circuit breakerswillbe analyzed in detail and the information of the protectiverelays and circuit breakers which are in fault state may bededuced And based on what is mentioned above we mayestablish the state vector of the fault modes and quarantinedmodes of the components and give the assignment principleof the value for each member of the vector Finally thecorrelation degree between the reference component andcompare component will be calculated and sorted Thediscriminant criterion is that the component with maximumcorrelation value is as the fault component Moreover thenumbers of fault components increase constantly Whenthe information explanation degree of fault componentsreaches a specified threshold and the numbers of protectiverelays and circuit breakers which fail to operate or refusedoperation do not increase the number of fault componentsis determined According to the order of correlation degreethose components which have same account of maloperationand refused operation are regarded as the fault component Sothe ultimate goal of the fault diagnosis is also accomplished

Obviously some basic concepts should be explained suchas the power supply interrupted districts fault informationexplanation degree and judging rule of maloperation andrefused operation Next these related concepts and modelwill be explained step by step

32 Quick Recognition for the Power Supply InterruptedDistricts The formation mechanism of the power supplyinterrupted districts is established on the difference of thetopological structures of power systems before and after faultoccurrence When the fault happens the protection actionwill be implemented to trip the relevant circuit breakersand the fault components can be isolated from the systemsfor avoiding the expansion of accident On the basis of thereal time information of the circuit breaker the topologiesof systems before and after fault occurrence are recognizedby the real time topology analysis on power systems Andthe fault components can automatically form some passivenetworks according to the difference of the information ofthe topological structures So these passive networks areregarded as the power supply interrupted districts Thusthe recognition of fault components may be limited to theblackout area

The specific steps [12] are shown as follows

(1) Based on topology analysis for the normal powersystems the corresponding equivalent power

or the generator are remarked as the activenodes

(2) The topology analysis is made for the faulty systemagain and several subsystems are achieved at the sametime according to the different information of thetopological structures

(3) The nodes of each subsystem are searched for one byone and every component connected with each nodeis active or is not judged If the component is activethe subsystem is in the normal state and the searchends otherwise if all components in a subsystem aresearched for and no active components are found thesubsystem is regarded as the power supply interrupteddistrict

33 Construction for Fault State Vectors and Assignment Prin-ciple for Vector Elements The state vectors are established bymeans of the protective relays and circuit breakers If there are119899 circuit breakers and 119898 protective relays the form of statevectors can be expressed as

119865 (119896) = (119877 119862) = (1199031 1199032 119903

119898 1198881 1198882 119888

119898)

119896 = 1 2 119899

(12)

where119877 is the state value of protective relays and119862 is the statevalue of circuit breakers The assignment principle of vectorelements is as follows

(1) If the protective relay run in active mode then 119903119894= 1

119894 = 1 2 119898 otherwise 119903119894= 0

(2) Analogously if the circuit breaker is kept in off statethen 119888

119894= 1 119894 = 1 2 119899 otherwise 119888

119894= 0

(3) When the state of the element possesses two modessimultaneously the information of the protectiverelays conflicts with the information of the circuitbreakers That is to say the value of state is both 1 and0 In that case the value of119877 and119862 is given as 05 thatis 119903119894= 05 119894 = 1 2 119898 119888

119894= 05 119894 = 1 2 119899

34 Modeling the Fault Information Explanation DegreeFault information explanation degree (FIED) is the matchingdegree of quarantined state vector and fault state vectorof multicomponent system In the other words it is usedfor explaining the behavior of protective relays and circuitbreakers when the fault of multicomponent systems happens

Let 119865119860 119865119861 119865

119883 whose sizes of dimension are all 1 times

(119898 + 119899) be the fault state vector respectively to single-faultcomponents 119860 119861 119883 119865

0is quarantined state vector with

1 times (119898 + 119899) dimensionTherefore the fault information explanation degree

(FIED) of single component can be expressed by the follow-ing formula

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are all

greater than 1 among (119865119860+ 1198650))

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(13)

If there aremore than one faulty component in power systemFIED can be presented as follows

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are

all greater than 1

in [(119865119860+ 1198650) or (119865

119861+ 1198650) or (119865

119862+ 1198650) or sdot sdot sdot ])

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(14)

where the symbol ldquoorrdquo denotes that the greater value isselected for the values of corresponding elements

To locate out the fault components in systems we need tocompare the size of FIED Once FIED satisfies FIED = 100the fault components may be determined by formulas (13)and (14)

35 Judging Method of Malfunction and Rejection for Protec-tive Relays andCircuit Breakers According to the assumptionand analysis above the judging rule is designed as follows

(1) If the value of element of the vector (119865119860

minus 1198650) is

negative then the corresponding protection of protectiverelays or action of circuit breakers is regarded as malfunctionfor single-component fault Otherwise the protection ofprotective relays or trip of circuit breakers is regarded asrejecting action

(2) If there is more than one fault component in thesystem the judging rule is as follows The protection ofprotective relays or action of circuit breakers is regarded asmalfunctionwhile the value of the vector ((119865

119860or119865119861or119865119862orsdot sdot sdot )minus

1198650) is negative otherwise the action is regarded as rejecting

actionNotice that when failures happen the main protection

of PRs is first implemented to trip the circuit breakers Ifthe main protective relays do not work then the backupprotective relays begin to work to trip the circuit breakersTherefore the situation of the backup PRs deduced by (1) and(2) was the rejecting action it may be that the action of PRshas already tripped the action of CBs So we concern onlythe main protective relays and the circuit breakers and thengive priority tomain PRs when themalfunction and rejectingaction are considered in this paper

36 Fault DiagnosisModel of Single Component Theproblemof recognition for single-fault component can be solved byseeking for the fault assumptions which can best explain the

where 119894 stands for the total number of the single-fault andits value is determined by adding the number of componentsand the number of lines 119899 denotes the number of vectorelements and its value is the number of protective relays andcircuit breakers 120585 is on behalf of the resolution coefficient1198650(119896) indicates the quarantined faulty state vector 119865

119894(119896)

means the fault state vector of single-line or single componentand also is called the single-fault state vector119877

119894represents the

similarity degree between the quarantined fault state vectorand single-fault state vector and also is called correlationdegree

Notice that if the state vector of single-fault component119860 119861 119883 is119865

119860 119865119861 119865

119883 respectively then the dimension

of these state vectors is 1 lowast (119898 + 119899) and the dimensionof the quarantined fault state vector 119865

0is also 1 lowast (119898 +

119899) Meanwhile we may calculate the correlation degree andsort the calculated results Based on above discussion therecognition rule of fault component is given as follows

Rule 1 If the correlation degree between the reference statevector 119865

0and the compare state vector 119865

119894(119894 = 119860 119861 119883) is

the largest the corresponding part is fault component or faultline

Rule 2 Let the threshold of fault diagnosis be the meanof correlation degree If the correlation degree between thereference state vector 119865

0and new compare state vector 119865

119873

is more than the threshold the part is regarded as the faultcomponent or fault line

Therefore the possibility that fault happens may bedetermined for every single component according to Rules1 and 2

37 Diagnostic Procedure for Fault Components In the actualproject there is more than one fault component when faultsoccur But the diagnostic procedure may be designed on thebasis of the fault diagnosis model of single component So thespecific steps of fault diagnosis are shown as follows

4 Experiment and Its Results Analysis

Firstly regarding the simple circuit structure shown inFigure 2 as the power supply interrupted districts the follow-ing sections will explain and demonstrate in detail how to usetheworking principle of protection action to identify the statevectors of fault components

Obviously the simple system shown in Figure 2 consistsof 4 elements (ie A B L1 and L2) and 5 circuit breakers (ieCB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 and CB5) So there are 14 protectionactions respectively that is Am Bm L1Am L1Bm L2BmL2Cm L1Ap L1Bp L2Bp L2Cp L1As L1Bs L2Bs and L2Cs Tomake things simple these protection actions are representedsymbolically by 119903

According to the working principle of primary protectionand backup protection shown inTable 1 the state informationof protective relays and circuit breakers is deduced as shownin Table 2

Let 119888119894(119894 = 1 2 5) denote the action of five circuit

breakers Thus by combining with the state informationshown in Table 2 the fault state vector of every componentmay be determined using the assignment principle intro-duced in Section 33 Therefore the fault state vector of everyelement is shown in Table 3

If a quarantined fault state vector obtained by alarminginformation is (119903

1 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and it needs to determine

which node is in fault we need to compare the size ofcorrelation coefficient between quarantined fault state andreference state vector According the data in Table 3 thecorrelation degree may be computed by formula (15) that is

119903A = 08333 119903B = 08247

119903L1 = 07807 119903L2 = 08509

(16)

The sorting result is

119903L2 gt 119903A gt 119903B gt 119903L1 (17)

So we can infer that the probability that the Line L2malfunctions is maximum and then the number of faultelements (FEN) is 1 that is there is only one fault componentL2 in systems In this case we may get

FIED = (5 divide 7) times 100 = 714 (18)

Obviously the fault component cannot be completelydetermined Through analysis of the information data whenthere are two fault components L2 and A FIED is

FIED = (7 divide 7) times 100 = 100 (19)

Therefore the quarantined state vector indicates that twocomponents L2 and A are failure

By the judging rule of malfunction and rejection the pri-mary protection which corresponds to 119903

5and 119903

6and the

action 1198884which corresponds to the circuit breaker CB4 is

regarded as malfunction Note that the alarming informationis (1199031 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and the action 119888

3shown in formula

(21) is a rejection In other words the information whichcorresponds to the action of the circuit breaker CB3 has lostNamely the more accurate diagnosis results can be obtainedby the algorithm even if some information has lost in systems

The above computing process has primarily illustrated thecalculated steps of fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graysystems theory And the results indicate that the algorithmis effective and reasonable To further explain and verify therationality and effectiveness of the method mentioned in thispaper we take the classic system structure of local power relayprotection shown by [9] which contains 28 components84 protective relays and 40 circuit breakers to analyze thediagnosis procedureThe structure of the local power systemsis shown in Figure 3

And the meaning of these symbols is respectively asfollows S is Sending End of Line and R is Receiving End119898 isprimary protection 119901 represents first backup protection and119904 is second backup protectionThe working principle of theseprotections may be seen in the Resources [11 13] section

By comparing themethod proposed in this paperwith themethods in [13 14] we are testing out 4 most complicatedcircumstances in case of incomplete information and com-plete information to verify the effectiveness of the methodThe diagnosis results are listed as in Table 4

As is shown in Table 4 in case of complete informationthe diagnosis result for test sequence 1 and sequence 2 isidentical to the results in [11 12] in case of incompleteinformation the diagnosis result for test sequence 3 and testsequence 4 is identical to the results in [11] but it is notidentical to the result in [12] This is because there are somelost information in test sequence 3 and test sequence 4

Therefore to further test this algorithm proposed inthis paper we apply the presented algorithm in this paperand the Bayesian algorithm in [12] to diagnose the powersupply in intelligent traffic systems (ITS) The detectinginformation of the power supply in ITS contains the PTbreak-phase CT signal volts dc and current synchronoussignal temperature of sensors and the Airborne capacityIn real application the fitting curve between using the twomethods is as in Figure 4

Figure 4(a) showed the whole effect of diagnosis proce-dure Correspondingly Figures 4(b) and 4(c) described thepart effect of diagnosis algorithmThis indicates that the errorbetween using the two methods is very small This indicatesthat the algorithm presented in this paper is reasonable

However the running stability of real system needs to beensured for any algorithm whether or not the algorithm iseffective and reasonable That is to say the stability of thediagnosis procedure should to be analyzed For verifying therationality of the designed algorithm the anticipant precisionthreshold is set as 001 and every running test time is set as1000 epochs The total running performance is shown as inFigure 5

The running effect of diagnosis system indicated that theabnormal phenomenon of the security running took placeat 20th second and then the parameter of systems needs tobe adjusted to ensure the systems normal running Figure 5displays that the abnormal phenomena of the designeddiagnosis systems seem to change small in warning and yetthe running performance is very stable during the wholerunning process To find out why the danger happens wetake the running performance chart from 0th second to 40thsecond as in Figure 6

Figure 6 displays that the interior change of diagnosissystem was quite rapid Simultaneously there exists a glacisfrom the initial warning to normal running As a result the

5 Conclusion

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(13)

If there aremore than one faulty component in power systemFIED can be presented as follows

FIED = ((the number of elements whose values are

all greater than 1

in [(119865119860+ 1198650) or (119865

119861+ 1198650) or (119865

119862+ 1198650) or sdot sdot sdot ])

times (the number of elements

whose values are all equal to 1)minus1) times 100

(14)

where the symbol ldquoorrdquo denotes that the greater value isselected for the values of corresponding elements

To locate out the fault components in systems we need tocompare the size of FIED Once FIED satisfies FIED = 100the fault components may be determined by formulas (13)and (14)

35 Judging Method of Malfunction and Rejection for Protec-tive Relays andCircuit Breakers According to the assumptionand analysis above the judging rule is designed as follows

(1) If the value of element of the vector (119865119860

minus 1198650) is

negative then the corresponding protection of protectiverelays or action of circuit breakers is regarded as malfunctionfor single-component fault Otherwise the protection ofprotective relays or trip of circuit breakers is regarded asrejecting action

(2) If there is more than one fault component in thesystem the judging rule is as follows The protection ofprotective relays or action of circuit breakers is regarded asmalfunctionwhile the value of the vector ((119865

119860or119865119861or119865119862orsdot sdot sdot )minus

1198650) is negative otherwise the action is regarded as rejecting

actionNotice that when failures happen the main protection

of PRs is first implemented to trip the circuit breakers Ifthe main protective relays do not work then the backupprotective relays begin to work to trip the circuit breakersTherefore the situation of the backup PRs deduced by (1) and(2) was the rejecting action it may be that the action of PRshas already tripped the action of CBs So we concern onlythe main protective relays and the circuit breakers and thengive priority tomain PRs when themalfunction and rejectingaction are considered in this paper

36 Fault DiagnosisModel of Single Component Theproblemof recognition for single-fault component can be solved byseeking for the fault assumptions which can best explain the

where 119894 stands for the total number of the single-fault andits value is determined by adding the number of componentsand the number of lines 119899 denotes the number of vectorelements and its value is the number of protective relays andcircuit breakers 120585 is on behalf of the resolution coefficient1198650(119896) indicates the quarantined faulty state vector 119865

119894(119896)

means the fault state vector of single-line or single componentand also is called the single-fault state vector119877

119894represents the

similarity degree between the quarantined fault state vectorand single-fault state vector and also is called correlationdegree

Notice that if the state vector of single-fault component119860 119861 119883 is119865

119860 119865119861 119865

119883 respectively then the dimension

of these state vectors is 1 lowast (119898 + 119899) and the dimensionof the quarantined fault state vector 119865

0is also 1 lowast (119898 +

119899) Meanwhile we may calculate the correlation degree andsort the calculated results Based on above discussion therecognition rule of fault component is given as follows

Rule 1 If the correlation degree between the reference statevector 119865

0and the compare state vector 119865

119894(119894 = 119860 119861 119883) is

the largest the corresponding part is fault component or faultline

Rule 2 Let the threshold of fault diagnosis be the meanof correlation degree If the correlation degree between thereference state vector 119865

0and new compare state vector 119865

119873

is more than the threshold the part is regarded as the faultcomponent or fault line

Therefore the possibility that fault happens may bedetermined for every single component according to Rules1 and 2

37 Diagnostic Procedure for Fault Components In the actualproject there is more than one fault component when faultsoccur But the diagnostic procedure may be designed on thebasis of the fault diagnosis model of single component So thespecific steps of fault diagnosis are shown as follows

4 Experiment and Its Results Analysis

Firstly regarding the simple circuit structure shown inFigure 2 as the power supply interrupted districts the follow-ing sections will explain and demonstrate in detail how to usetheworking principle of protection action to identify the statevectors of fault components

Obviously the simple system shown in Figure 2 consistsof 4 elements (ie A B L1 and L2) and 5 circuit breakers (ieCB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 and CB5) So there are 14 protectionactions respectively that is Am Bm L1Am L1Bm L2BmL2Cm L1Ap L1Bp L2Bp L2Cp L1As L1Bs L2Bs and L2Cs Tomake things simple these protection actions are representedsymbolically by 119903

and B are Bus L represents Line the subscript119898 denotes theprimary protection 119904 stands for the first backup protectionand 119901 is on behalf of the second backup protection Throughanalysis of the circuit structure the working principle of theprimary protection and the backup protection is listed inTable 1

According to the working principle of primary protectionand backup protection shown inTable 1 the state informationof protective relays and circuit breakers is deduced as shownin Table 2

Let 119888119894(119894 = 1 2 5) denote the action of five circuit

breakers Thus by combining with the state informationshown in Table 2 the fault state vector of every componentmay be determined using the assignment principle intro-duced in Section 33 Therefore the fault state vector of everyelement is shown in Table 3

If a quarantined fault state vector obtained by alarminginformation is (119903

1 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and it needs to determine

which node is in fault we need to compare the size ofcorrelation coefficient between quarantined fault state andreference state vector According the data in Table 3 thecorrelation degree may be computed by formula (15) that is

119903A = 08333 119903B = 08247

119903L1 = 07807 119903L2 = 08509

(16)

The sorting result is

119903L2 gt 119903A gt 119903B gt 119903L1 (17)

So we can infer that the probability that the Line L2malfunctions is maximum and then the number of faultelements (FEN) is 1 that is there is only one fault componentL2 in systems In this case we may get

FIED = (5 divide 7) times 100 = 714 (18)

Obviously the fault component cannot be completelydetermined Through analysis of the information data whenthere are two fault components L2 and A FIED is

FIED = (7 divide 7) times 100 = 100 (19)

Therefore the quarantined state vector indicates that twocomponents L2 and A are failure

Meanwhile

By the judging rule of malfunction and rejection the pri-mary protection which corresponds to 119903

5and 119903

6and the

action 1198884which corresponds to the circuit breaker CB4 is

regarded as malfunction Note that the alarming informationis (1199031 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and the action 119888

3shown in formula

(21) is a rejection In other words the information whichcorresponds to the action of the circuit breaker CB3 has lostNamely the more accurate diagnosis results can be obtainedby the algorithm even if some information has lost in systems

The above computing process has primarily illustrated thecalculated steps of fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graysystems theory And the results indicate that the algorithmis effective and reasonable To further explain and verify therationality and effectiveness of the method mentioned in thispaper we take the classic system structure of local power relayprotection shown by [9] which contains 28 components84 protective relays and 40 circuit breakers to analyze thediagnosis procedureThe structure of the local power systemsis shown in Figure 3

And the meaning of these symbols is respectively asfollows S is Sending End of Line and R is Receiving End119898 isprimary protection 119901 represents first backup protection and119904 is second backup protectionThe working principle of theseprotections may be seen in the Resources [11 13] section

By comparing themethod proposed in this paperwith themethods in [13 14] we are testing out 4 most complicatedcircumstances in case of incomplete information and com-plete information to verify the effectiveness of the methodThe diagnosis results are listed as in Table 4

As is shown in Table 4 in case of complete informationthe diagnosis result for test sequence 1 and sequence 2 isidentical to the results in [11 12] in case of incompleteinformation the diagnosis result for test sequence 3 and testsequence 4 is identical to the results in [11] but it is notidentical to the result in [12] This is because there are somelost information in test sequence 3 and test sequence 4

Therefore to further test this algorithm proposed inthis paper we apply the presented algorithm in this paperand the Bayesian algorithm in [12] to diagnose the powersupply in intelligent traffic systems (ITS) The detectinginformation of the power supply in ITS contains the PTbreak-phase CT signal volts dc and current synchronoussignal temperature of sensors and the Airborne capacityIn real application the fitting curve between using the twomethods is as in Figure 4

Figure 4(a) showed the whole effect of diagnosis proce-dure Correspondingly Figures 4(b) and 4(c) described thepart effect of diagnosis algorithmThis indicates that the errorbetween using the two methods is very small This indicatesthat the algorithm presented in this paper is reasonable

However the running stability of real system needs to beensured for any algorithm whether or not the algorithm iseffective and reasonable That is to say the stability of thediagnosis procedure should to be analyzed For verifying therationality of the designed algorithm the anticipant precisionthreshold is set as 001 and every running test time is set as1000 epochs The total running performance is shown as inFigure 5

The running effect of diagnosis system indicated that theabnormal phenomenon of the security running took placeat 20th second and then the parameter of systems needs tobe adjusted to ensure the systems normal running Figure 5displays that the abnormal phenomena of the designeddiagnosis systems seem to change small in warning and yetthe running performance is very stable during the wholerunning process To find out why the danger happens wetake the running performance chart from 0th second to 40thsecond as in Figure 6

Figure 6 displays that the interior change of diagnosissystem was quite rapid Simultaneously there exists a glacisfrom the initial warning to normal running As a result the

5 Conclusion

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems

4 Experiment and Its Results Analysis

Firstly regarding the simple circuit structure shown inFigure 2 as the power supply interrupted districts the follow-ing sections will explain and demonstrate in detail how to usetheworking principle of protection action to identify the statevectors of fault components

Obviously the simple system shown in Figure 2 consistsof 4 elements (ie A B L1 and L2) and 5 circuit breakers (ieCB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 and CB5) So there are 14 protectionactions respectively that is Am Bm L1Am L1Bm L2BmL2Cm L1Ap L1Bp L2Bp L2Cp L1As L1Bs L2Bs and L2Cs Tomake things simple these protection actions are representedsymbolically by 119903

and B are Bus L represents Line the subscript119898 denotes theprimary protection 119904 stands for the first backup protectionand 119901 is on behalf of the second backup protection Throughanalysis of the circuit structure the working principle of theprimary protection and the backup protection is listed inTable 1

According to the working principle of primary protectionand backup protection shown inTable 1 the state informationof protective relays and circuit breakers is deduced as shownin Table 2

Let 119888119894(119894 = 1 2 5) denote the action of five circuit

breakers Thus by combining with the state informationshown in Table 2 the fault state vector of every componentmay be determined using the assignment principle intro-duced in Section 33 Therefore the fault state vector of everyelement is shown in Table 3

If a quarantined fault state vector obtained by alarminginformation is (119903

1 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and it needs to determine

which node is in fault we need to compare the size ofcorrelation coefficient between quarantined fault state andreference state vector According the data in Table 3 thecorrelation degree may be computed by formula (15) that is

119903A = 08333 119903B = 08247

119903L1 = 07807 119903L2 = 08509

(16)

The sorting result is

119903L2 gt 119903A gt 119903B gt 119903L1 (17)

So we can infer that the probability that the Line L2malfunctions is maximum and then the number of faultelements (FEN) is 1 that is there is only one fault componentL2 in systems In this case we may get

FIED = (5 divide 7) times 100 = 714 (18)

Obviously the fault component cannot be completelydetermined Through analysis of the information data whenthere are two fault components L2 and A FIED is

FIED = (7 divide 7) times 100 = 100 (19)

Therefore the quarantined state vector indicates that twocomponents L2 and A are failure

By the judging rule of malfunction and rejection the pri-mary protection which corresponds to 119903

5and 119903

6and the

action 1198884which corresponds to the circuit breaker CB4 is

regarded as malfunction Note that the alarming informationis (1199031 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and the action 119888

3shown in formula

(21) is a rejection In other words the information whichcorresponds to the action of the circuit breaker CB3 has lostNamely the more accurate diagnosis results can be obtainedby the algorithm even if some information has lost in systems

The above computing process has primarily illustrated thecalculated steps of fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graysystems theory And the results indicate that the algorithmis effective and reasonable To further explain and verify therationality and effectiveness of the method mentioned in thispaper we take the classic system structure of local power relayprotection shown by [9] which contains 28 components84 protective relays and 40 circuit breakers to analyze thediagnosis procedureThe structure of the local power systemsis shown in Figure 3

And the meaning of these symbols is respectively asfollows S is Sending End of Line and R is Receiving End119898 isprimary protection 119901 represents first backup protection and119904 is second backup protectionThe working principle of theseprotections may be seen in the Resources [11 13] section

By comparing themethod proposed in this paperwith themethods in [13 14] we are testing out 4 most complicatedcircumstances in case of incomplete information and com-plete information to verify the effectiveness of the methodThe diagnosis results are listed as in Table 4

As is shown in Table 4 in case of complete informationthe diagnosis result for test sequence 1 and sequence 2 isidentical to the results in [11 12] in case of incompleteinformation the diagnosis result for test sequence 3 and testsequence 4 is identical to the results in [11] but it is notidentical to the result in [12] This is because there are somelost information in test sequence 3 and test sequence 4

Therefore to further test this algorithm proposed inthis paper we apply the presented algorithm in this paperand the Bayesian algorithm in [12] to diagnose the powersupply in intelligent traffic systems (ITS) The detectinginformation of the power supply in ITS contains the PTbreak-phase CT signal volts dc and current synchronoussignal temperature of sensors and the Airborne capacityIn real application the fitting curve between using the twomethods is as in Figure 4

Figure 4(a) showed the whole effect of diagnosis proce-dure Correspondingly Figures 4(b) and 4(c) described thepart effect of diagnosis algorithmThis indicates that the errorbetween using the two methods is very small This indicatesthat the algorithm presented in this paper is reasonable

However the running stability of real system needs to beensured for any algorithm whether or not the algorithm iseffective and reasonable That is to say the stability of thediagnosis procedure should to be analyzed For verifying therationality of the designed algorithm the anticipant precisionthreshold is set as 001 and every running test time is set as1000 epochs The total running performance is shown as inFigure 5

The running effect of diagnosis system indicated that theabnormal phenomenon of the security running took placeat 20th second and then the parameter of systems needs tobe adjusted to ensure the systems normal running Figure 5displays that the abnormal phenomena of the designeddiagnosis systems seem to change small in warning and yetthe running performance is very stable during the wholerunning process To find out why the danger happens wetake the running performance chart from 0th second to 40thsecond as in Figure 6

Figure 6 displays that the interior change of diagnosissystem was quite rapid Simultaneously there exists a glacisfrom the initial warning to normal running As a result the

5 Conclusion

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems

If a quarantined fault state vector obtained by alarminginformation is (119903

1 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and it needs to determine

which node is in fault we need to compare the size ofcorrelation coefficient between quarantined fault state andreference state vector According the data in Table 3 thecorrelation degree may be computed by formula (15) that is

119903A = 08333 119903B = 08247

119903L1 = 07807 119903L2 = 08509

(16)

The sorting result is

119903L2 gt 119903A gt 119903B gt 119903L1 (17)

So we can infer that the probability that the Line L2malfunctions is maximum and then the number of faultelements (FEN) is 1 that is there is only one fault componentL2 in systems In this case we may get

FIED = (5 divide 7) times 100 = 714 (18)

Obviously the fault component cannot be completelydetermined Through analysis of the information data whenthere are two fault components L2 and A FIED is

FIED = (7 divide 7) times 100 = 100 (19)

Therefore the quarantined state vector indicates that twocomponents L2 and A are failure

By the judging rule of malfunction and rejection the pri-mary protection which corresponds to 119903

5and 119903

6and the

action 1198884which corresponds to the circuit breaker CB4 is

regarded as malfunction Note that the alarming informationis (1199031 1199035 1199036 1198881 1198882 1198884 1198885) and the action 119888

3shown in formula

(21) is a rejection In other words the information whichcorresponds to the action of the circuit breaker CB3 has lostNamely the more accurate diagnosis results can be obtainedby the algorithm even if some information has lost in systems

The above computing process has primarily illustrated thecalculated steps of fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graysystems theory And the results indicate that the algorithmis effective and reasonable To further explain and verify therationality and effectiveness of the method mentioned in thispaper we take the classic system structure of local power relayprotection shown by [9] which contains 28 components84 protective relays and 40 circuit breakers to analyze thediagnosis procedureThe structure of the local power systemsis shown in Figure 3

Figure 6The part running performance chart of fault diagnosis forthe power supply in ITS

running effect is in accord with the practical situationThis isbecause certain period of time is used to adjust parameter ofthe power supply for ensuring the final stable running of thealgorithm

5 Conclusion

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems

Figure 3 Classic system structure of the local power relay protection

And the meaning of these symbols is respectively asfollows S is Sending End of Line and R is Receiving End119898 isprimary protection 119901 represents first backup protection and119904 is second backup protectionThe working principle of theseprotections may be seen in the Resources [11 13] section

By comparing themethod proposed in this paperwith themethods in [13 14] we are testing out 4 most complicatedcircumstances in case of incomplete information and com-plete information to verify the effectiveness of the methodThe diagnosis results are listed as in Table 4

As is shown in Table 4 in case of complete informationthe diagnosis result for test sequence 1 and sequence 2 isidentical to the results in [11 12] in case of incompleteinformation the diagnosis result for test sequence 3 and testsequence 4 is identical to the results in [11] but it is notidentical to the result in [12] This is because there are somelost information in test sequence 3 and test sequence 4

Therefore to further test this algorithm proposed inthis paper we apply the presented algorithm in this paperand the Bayesian algorithm in [12] to diagnose the powersupply in intelligent traffic systems (ITS) The detectinginformation of the power supply in ITS contains the PTbreak-phase CT signal volts dc and current synchronoussignal temperature of sensors and the Airborne capacityIn real application the fitting curve between using the twomethods is as in Figure 4

Figure 4(a) showed the whole effect of diagnosis proce-dure Correspondingly Figures 4(b) and 4(c) described thepart effect of diagnosis algorithmThis indicates that the errorbetween using the two methods is very small This indicatesthat the algorithm presented in this paper is reasonable

However the running stability of real system needs to beensured for any algorithm whether or not the algorithm iseffective and reasonable That is to say the stability of thediagnosis procedure should to be analyzed For verifying therationality of the designed algorithm the anticipant precisionthreshold is set as 001 and every running test time is set as1000 epochs The total running performance is shown as inFigure 5

The running effect of diagnosis system indicated that theabnormal phenomenon of the security running took placeat 20th second and then the parameter of systems needs tobe adjusted to ensure the systems normal running Figure 5displays that the abnormal phenomena of the designeddiagnosis systems seem to change small in warning and yetthe running performance is very stable during the wholerunning process To find out why the danger happens wetake the running performance chart from 0th second to 40thsecond as in Figure 6

Figure 6 displays that the interior change of diagnosissystem was quite rapid Simultaneously there exists a glacisfrom the initial warning to normal running As a result the

5 Conclusion

Based on the theory of Gray system a fault diagnosismethod in power systems is proposed with respect to thediagnosis problem of incomplete information for protectiverelays devices in power system and the analysis of overallarchitecture and the diagnosis process are conducted Somesimple experiments show that the method presented in thispaper is effective and can also carry out the same faultdiagnosis task that another traditional diagnosis methodcompleted Through comparing these diagnosis results weknow that the method may diagnose the fault in case ofincomplete and complete information In addition throughthe practical engineering application in ITS the stabilityof diagnosis procedure was also analyzed The simulationresult demonstrated that the running stability of the diagnosis

procedure is practical and consistent with the operationrequirements

However owing to the fact that information data comesfrom different parts of power supply systems in ITS the run-ning situation of diagnosis systems was influenced Therebythe investigation about how to logically distribute the infor-mation of power supply device in ITS remains an interestingarea for further research Meanwhile the method and algo-rithm presented in this paper can only be used to diagnoseand determine which component malfunctions after theabnormal phenomenon of power systems has occurred Butin practical application of power supply devices in ITS theusers always hope that the diagnosis systems can forecastthe faults before the fault states of components will happenSo how to fuse the incomplete and complete information ofprotective relays and circuit breakers to forecast the faultsby GM model which provides the maintaining decision forthe components and lines is also very important problem inpower systems
