Preface

The fault recording equipment used in monitoring power systems evolved from a wet trace and light beams writing on special photo-sensitive paper or film oscillograms to digital, microprocessor-based technology. Some of the old records took days to develop, as in the case of the wet trace and recurring problems with sensitive papers. As a result, some key records were lost, making the analysis of power system disturbances extremely difficult. In addition, starting recording equipment was a hassle, causing unreliable oscillograph operations. A digital fault recorder (DFR) is considered an intelligent electronic device that can be accessed via communication links to send fault records automatically to remote operating centers and engineering offices immediately following a disturbance. This allowed a rapid analysis to make it possible to restore the system. Accurate root-mean-square measurements as well as a host of software packages can be executed to verify the system model and to assess the impact of disturbances on power system equipment.

Analysis of power system disturbances is an important function that monitors the performance of a protection system. It can also provide a wealth of valuable information regarding correct behavior of the system. Understanding power system phenomena can be simplified, and adoption of safe operating limits and protective relaying practices can be enhanced. Review of DFR and numerical relay fault records for system operations can help to ...
