AC drives are employed in process industries for varying applications resulting in a wide range of ratings. The entire process industry has seen a paradigm shift from manual to automated systems. The major factor contributing to this is the advanced power electronics technology enabling power electronic drives for smooth control of electric motors. Induction motors are most commonly used in industries. Faults in the power electronic circuits may occur periodically. These faults often go unnoticed as they rarely cause a complete shutdown and the fault levels may not be large enough to lead to a breakdown of the drive. An early detection of these faults is required to prevent their escalation into major faults. The diagnostic tool for detection of faults requires real time monitoring of the entire drive. In this work, detailed investigation of different faults that can occur in the power electronic circuit of an industrial drive is carried out. Analysis and impact of faults on the performance of the induction motor is presented. A real time monitoring platform is proposed to detect and classify the fault accurately using machine learning. A diagnostic tool also is developed to display the severity and location of the fault to the operator to take corrective measures.

Study on the performance indicators for smart grids: a comprehensive reviewTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents a detailed review on performance indicators for smart grid (SG) such as voltage stability enhancement, reliability evaluation, vulnerability assessment, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and communication systems. Smart grids reliability assessment can be performed by analytically or by simulation. Analytical method utilizes the load point assessment techniques, whereas the simulation technique uses the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique. The reliability index evaluations will consider the presence or absence of energy storage elements using the simulation technologies such as MCS, and the analytical methods such as systems average interruption frequency index (SAIFI), and other load point indices. This paper also presents the difference between SCADA and substation automation, and the fact that substation automation, though it uses the basic concepts of SCADA, is far more advanced in nature.
Neural computing is now one of the most promising technologies in all fields of engineering,
resulting in the development of a number of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Double circuit transmission lines
are being employed in the distribution of power to consumers and have become more widespread than single

STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF PROTECTION SCHEME OF DIGITAL SUBSTATION USING IEC61850-...IAEME Publication
Substations are a fundamental part in electrical energy transmission and
distribution. The role of a substation is to transfer and transform electrical energy by
stepping up or down the voltage. To do this, high voltage switching equipment and
power transformers are used, in addition to instrument transformers that supply the
status of the primary system to the secondary equipment. Substation Automation

Enhanced two-terminal impedance-based fault location using sequence valuesIJECEIAES
Fault at transmission line system may lead to major impacts such as power quality problems and cascading failure in the grid system. Thus, it is very important to locate it fast so that suitable solution can be taken to ensure power system stability can be retained. The complexity of the transmission line however makes the fault point identification a challenging task. This paper proposes an enhanced fault detection and location method using positive and negative-sequence values of current and voltage, taken at both local and remote terminals. The fault detection is based on comparison between the total fault current with currents combination during the pre-fault time. While the fault location algorithm was developed using an impedancebased method and the estimated fault location was taken at two cycles after fault detection. Various fault types, fault resistances and fault locations have been tested in order to verify the performance of the proposed method. The developed algorithms have successfully detected all faults within high accuracy. Based on the obtained results, the estimated fault locations are not affected by fault resistance and line charging current. Furthermore, the proposed method able to detect fault location without the needs to know the fault type.
An accurate technique for supervising distance relays during power swingnooriasukmaningtyas
Power swing is a power system transient phenomenon that arises due to several reasons including line switching, line outage, sudden increment or decrement in load, faults, etc. Unnecessary tripping during power swing and unnecessary blocking for faults occur during power swing result in distance relay maloperation. Several cascaded outages and major worldwide blackouts have occurred due to maloperation of distance relays. This paper proposes a technique for supervising distance relays during power swing. The proposed online technique discriminates real faults and power swing accurately. It relies on constructing a locus diagram for the current and voltage differences (∆I-∆V) between the two ends of the protected line. The locus is estimated at every power frequency cycle to continuously monitor the state of the line by utilizing the synchrophasor measurements at the sending and receiving ends of the line. The proposed technique is tested for two-area, four-machine power system under faults at different locations of zone-1 and zone-2 regions of distance relays, fault resistances, fault inception angles and slip frequencies using MATLAB software. The simulation results proved the superior improvement of distance relay performance for handling power swing blocking and unblocking actions.
Transient response mitigation using type-2 fuzzy controller optimized by grey...IJECEIAES
Long high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission link is commonly used to transmit electrical energy via land or under-sea cable. The long HVDC avoids reactive power losses (RPL) and power stability problems (PSP). On the contrary, the RPL and PSP phenomena occur in long high voltage alternative current-link (HVAC) caused by the high reactive component in the HVAC-link. However, the HVDC produces a high and slow transient current response (TCR) on the high value of the up-ramp rate. Interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) control on converter-side HVDC is proposed to mitigate this TCR problem. The IT2F is optimized by grey wolf optimizer (GWO) to adjust input-output IT2F parameters optimally. The performance of IT2F-GWO is assessed by the minimum value of integral time squared error (ITSE), peak overshoot, and settling time of the TCR. The IT2FCGWO performance is validated by the performance of IT2F control that is optimized by genetic algorithm (IT2F-GA) and proportional integral (PI) controller. Simulation results show that the IT2F-GWO performs better with small ITSE, low peak overshoot, and shorter settling times than competing controllers.
Predictive maintenance of rotational machinery using deep learningIJECEIAES
This paper describes an implementation of a deep learning-based predictive maintenance (PdM) system for industrial rotational machinery, built upon the foundation of a long short-term memory (LSTM) autoencoder and regression analysis. The autoencoder identifies anomalous patterns, while the latter, based on the autoencoder’s output, estimates the machine’s remaining useful life (RUL). Unlike prior PdM systems dependent on labelled historical data, the developed system doesn’t require it as it’s based on an unsupervised deep learning model, enhancing its adaptability. The paper also explores a robust condition monitoring system that collects machine operational data, including vibration and current parameters, and transmits them to a database via a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) network. Additionally, the study demonstrates the integration of this PdM system within a web-based framework, promoting its adoption across various industrial settings. Tests confirm the system's ability to accurately identify faults, highlighting its potential to reduce unexpected downtime and enhance machinery reliability.

The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's

grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of

One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.

Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.

Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

This research is developing an incubator system that integrates the internet of things and artificial intelligence to improve care for premature babies. The system workflow starts with sensors that collect data from the incubator. Then, the data is sent in real-time to the internet of things (IoT) broker eclipse mosquito using the message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol version 5.0. After that, the data is stored in a database for analysis using the long short-term memory network (LSTM) method and displayed in a web application using an application programming interface (API) service. Furthermore, the experimental results produce as many as 2,880 rows of data stored in the database. The correlation coefficient between the target attribute and other attributes ranges from 0.23 to 0.48. Next, several experiments were conducted to evaluate the model-predicted value on the test data. The best results are obtained using a two-layer LSTM configuration model, each with 60 neurons and a lookback setting 6. This model produces an R 2 value of 0.934, with a root mean square error (RMSE) value of 0.015 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.008. In addition, the R 2 value was also evaluated for each attribute used as input, with a result of values between 0.590 and 0.845.

The internet of things (IoT) is a revolutionary innovation in many aspects of our society including interactions, financial activity, and global security such as the military and battlefield internet. Due to the limited energy and processing capacity of network devices, security, energy consumption, compatibility, and device heterogeneity are the long-term IoT problems. As a result, energy and security are critical for data transmission across edge and IoT networks. Existing IoT interoperability techniques need more computation time, have unreliable authentication mechanisms that break easily, lose data easily, and have low confidentiality. In this paper, a key agreement protocol-based authentication mechanism for IoT devices is offered as a solution to this issue. This system makes use of information exchange, which must be secured to prevent access by unauthorized users. Using a compact contiki/cooja simulator, the performance and design of the suggested framework are validated. The simulation findings are evaluated based on detection of malicious nodes after 60 minutes of simulation. The suggested trust method, which is based on privacy access control, reduced packet loss ratio to 0.32%, consumed 0.39% power, and had the greatest average residual energy of 0.99 mJoules at 10 nodes.
Fuzzy linear programming with the intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbersIJECEIAES
In real world applications, data are subject to ambiguity due to several factors; fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers propose a great tool to model such ambiguity. In case of hesitation, the complement of a membership value in fuzzy numbers can be different from the non-membership value, in which case we can model using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers as they provide flexibility by defining both a membership and a non-membership functions. In this article, we consider the intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem with intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbers, which is a generalization of the previous polygonal fuzzy numbers found in the literature. We present a modification of the simplex method that can be used to solve any general intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem after approximating the problem by an intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy number with n edges. This method is given in a simple tableau formulation, and then applied on numerical examples for clarity.

Prostate cancer is the predominant form of cancer observed in men worldwide. The application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a guidance tool for conducting biopsies has been established as a reliable and well-established approach in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The diagnostic performance of MRI-guided prostate cancer diagnosis exhibits significant heterogeneity due to the intricate and multi-step nature of the diagnostic pathway. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifically through the utilization of machine learning techniques such as deep learning, is assuming an increasingly significant role in the field of radiology. In the realm of prostate MRI, a considerable body of literature has been dedicated to the development of various AI algorithms. These algorithms have been specifically designed for tasks such as prostate segmentation, lesion identification, and classification. The overarching objective of these endeavors is to enhance diagnostic performance and foster greater agreement among different observers within MRI scans for the prostate. This review article aims to provide a concise overview of the application of AI in the field of radiology, with a specific focus on its utilization in prostate MRI.
Seizure stage detection of epileptic seizure using convolutional neural networksIJECEIAES
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seventy million individuals worldwide suffer from epilepsy, a neurological disorder. While electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for diagnosing epilepsy and monitoring the brain activity of epilepsy patients, it requires a specialist to examine all EEG recordings to find epileptic behavior. This procedure needs an experienced doctor, and a precise epilepsy diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment. To identify epileptic seizures, this study employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on raw scalp EEG signals to discriminate between preictal, ictal, postictal, and interictal segments. The possibility of these characteristics is explored by examining how well timedomain signals work in the detection of epileptic signals using intracranial Freiburg Hospital (FH), scalp Children's Hospital Boston-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CHB-MIT) databases, and Temple University Hospital (TUH) EEG. To test the viability of this approach, two types of experiments were carried out. Firstly, binary class classification (preictal, ictal, postictal each versus interictal) and four-class classification (interictal versus preictal versus ictal versus postictal). The average accuracy for stage detection using CHB-MIT database was 84.4%, while the Freiburg database's time-domain signals had an accuracy of 79.7% and the highest accuracy of 94.02% for classification in the TUH EEG database when comparing interictal stage to preictal stage.
Analysis of driving style using self-organizing maps to analyze driver behaviorIJECEIAES
Modern life is strongly associated with the use of cars, but the increase in acceleration speeds and their maneuverability leads to a dangerous driving style for some drivers. In these conditions, the development of a method that allows you to track the behavior of the driver is relevant. The article provides an overview of existing methods and models for assessing the functioning of motor vehicles and driver behavior. Based on this, a combined algorithm for recognizing driving style is proposed. To do this, a set of input data was formed, including 20 descriptive features: About the environment, the driver's behavior and the characteristics of the functioning of the car, collected using OBD II. The generated data set is sent to the Kohonen network, where clustering is performed according to driving style and degree of danger. Getting the driving characteristics into a particular cluster allows you to switch to the private indicators of an individual driver and considering individual driving characteristics. The application of the method allows you to identify potentially dangerous driving styles that can prevent accidents.
Hyperspectral object classification using hybrid spectral-spatial fusion and ...IJECEIAES
Because of its spectral-spatial and temporal resolution of greater areas, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has found widespread application in the field of object classification. The HSI is typically used to accurately determine an object's physical characteristics as well as to locate related objects with appropriate spectral fingerprints. As a result, the HSI has been extensively applied to object identification in several fields, including surveillance, agricultural monitoring, environmental research, and precision agriculture. However, because of their enormous size, objects require a lot of time to classify; for this reason, both spectral and spatial feature fusion have been completed. The existing classification strategy leads to increased misclassification, and the feature fusion method is unable to preserve semantic object inherent features; This study addresses the research difficulties by introducing a hybrid spectral-spatial fusion (HSSF) technique to minimize feature size while maintaining object intrinsic qualities; Lastly, a soft-margins kernel is proposed for multi-layer deep support vector machine (MLDSVM) to reduce misclassification. The standard Indian pines dataset is used for the experiment, and the outcome demonstrates that the HSSF-MLDSVM model performs substantially better in terms of accuracy and Kappa coefficient.

Reliable energy is ensured by the power quality, safety and security. For
reliability and economic growth of transmission utilities, it is necessary to
maintain continuity of supply, which is challenging under deregulated
system. It is essential for utilities to conduct regular maintenance of
transmission lines before supply interrupts. To protect line from fault, it is
necessary to detect fault on line, its classification and location at the earliest.
Various smart techniques along with application of artificial intelligence
(AI) in power system are under investigation. This paper tries to find
solution by identifying practical common faults occurred on transmission
lines, and also suggests the suitable maintenance methodology. It uses the
artificial neural network (ANN) method and live line maintenance technique

1. INTRODUCTION
Quality, safety and uninterrupted energy supply can be maintained by regular maintenance of
transmission lines. To apply maintenance there is a need to detect fault situations at early, detect the reason of
occurrence, reasons of transmission equipment failure and to apply suitable maintenance required.
Maintenance activities needs to be pre-scheduled in advance for all types of maintenance using ON line
maintenance technique or Off-line maintenance technique. A survey said that for the year 2020, there were
approximate 1,160 faults in the Indian grid, in that 65% of faults accounting on transmission lines; 20%
faults related to the transformer equipment, 10% faults due to bus bar and other equipment in substation and
5% faults due to other reasons [1]. Transmission system condition study consists of age, stress condition,
failure mode, safety, and working environment condition. It is proposed to use artificial intelligence (AI)
technology to detect fault at early stage. Two types of method based on records driven and facts driven are
applied. Record driven method depends on available data, learning and regression technique, it uses training
data to learn the patterns. The knowledge driven method uses expert’s opinion for simulation and diagnostic
[2]. Fault finding method for high-voltage transmission lines with three fed (TFHVTLs) is available. Testing
current signals taken from one end of TFHVTL measuring system. Analysis technique named wavelet

multi-resolution is used to purify these current signals [3]. Combination of an integrated framework for
location of fault and its classification proposed extreme learning machine summation-wavelet (SW-ELM)
algorithm. For diagnosis of fault, summation-gaussian extreme learning machine (ELM-SG), is applied.
ELM-SG is self-learning and extended version of SW-ELM, it is easy to operate [4]. Correct action of
maintenance depends on reason of line interrupts, damage equipment, location, line loading and risk in
maintenance [5]. In Indian transmission lines fault includes interruption due to flashover of insulator, fire in
forest, over-voltages due to lightning, flash-over from transients to normal power frequency voltage, wind,
moving objects, outside environmental force destruction, barriers due to trees, and birds.
There are severe faults under which maintenance needs to be applied after taking breakdown such
maintenance is called CLMT. There are some faults under which maintenance can be applied without taking
any outage such maintenance is called live line maintenance technique (LLMT). To improve maintenance,
regular testing needs to carry, assure the testing data accuracy, fixing the responsibility and increase the
training. It is suggested to maintain proper earthing and earth resistance as per requirements [6]. Check lines
for correct right of way (ROW), insulators insulation property, physical condition of insulators and
connectors, connection of insulator on complete line and control devices of insulators [7]. Live-work
technologies have advantages as no power loss, reduces penalties during downtime, the problem can be
attended immediately, avoids emergency outages, which helps to minimize event risk and reducing switching
cycles of switchgears. Live line maintenance needs less manpower and less time required for maintenance as
compared to the cold line method, this gives economic benefits and postponement of life to apparatus gives
added ways to improve live line technologies [2], [8].
Proposed maintenance applied AI techniques in fault-finding process with live line maintenance.
Some transmission organizations adapting fault locating devices by global information systems (GIS) for
fault location in power quality measurement systems. Expert system techniques (XPS), fuzzy logic systems
(FLS) and artificial neural networks (ANN) are dealing with information in planning the uncertainties in
transmission system; this is a challenge for system planners [2]. Many utilities have insufficient statistical
data, but engineers normally predict the range of uncertainty data by representing the load modeling and
outage parameters of component system using above techniques [9]. For planning transmission systems
models become a necessary supplement as selection of probabilistic, models are required to consider with
both types of uncertainty of input details with all cases. Fuzziness and randomness are two types of power
systems uncertainty. Model of probabilistic can be applied to randomness. Fuzzy models applicable method
suitable to express indecision during peak load forecasting. To addresses the issues during load forecasting
and data outages various artificial models are used. Analogous theories of modeling may be used to
indecisions of different information such as equipment factors and grades which impacted by different
environmental parameters [1], [10].
This paper explains the model and steps for the probability calculations. Flow chart explains the step
wise procedure to identify and locate the fault using ANN tool. A probability analysis for ten no of various
faults are shown. Using LLMT for line to ground fault, calculation shows reduction in outage time and power
loss compared with outage maintenance by CLMT. Paper shows analysis for given fault condition as input
method and maintenance results output data and an application of ANN method.
2. TRANSMISSION LINE FAULT ANALYSIS METHOD
For fault analysis system must continuously record and measure energy parameters like current,
voltage, frequency, power factor, reactive power kilovolt ampere reactive (KVAR) and active power kW at
all terminals. Technical operating and maintenance persons can measure parameters of energy systems,
consumption for heavy electrical loads connected in that area, observe start up time, efficiency and economy
measure of electrical equipment [11]. Recorded information is used to assess system reliability, calculate
profit of reliability due to maintenance of each section, produce maintenance ranking order by applying
benefit/cost ratio index [1], [7], [12]. Predictive maintenance (PdM) imparts condition monitoring and asset
management as keys [13]. Transmission system classification depends upon component parameter, position
of component placed, type of faults, reasons for fault occurrences, reasons of equipment failure and types of
maintenance required [14]. Transmission line of 400 kV between Koradi to Bhusawal of Maharashtra state,
India is presented as Figure 1, for case study. Data of total numbers of faults that regularly occurred in the
year 2020 are taken for study.
2.1. State enumeration method and Monte Carlo simulation
State enumeration is efficient when component failures probabilities are very minor and complex
operating conditions are neglected [3], [15]. An organized methodology for maintenance management is
reliability centered maintenance (RCM) with objective to provide proper preventive maintenance (PM)

preparation to get maintenance with economy and intrinsic reliability [8], [16]. Monte Carlo simulation and
method of state enumeration are used for larger severe events under complex condition of operation.
When there is involvement of larger severe events and complex operating conditions, the unit of the
U (unavailability)-forced outage rate (FOR) is kWh or MWh/year or outages/year. µ-repair rate is reciprocal
of repair time, it is repairs per year. λ-failure rate (failures/year)=1/d. r-repair time (repairs/year),
r=MTTR/8760 in the unit of years. µ=1/mean time to repair=1/r. r-mean time to repair in hours (MTTR), or
repair time r (or outage rate λ) are in hours/outage. d-mean time to failure in hours (MTTF), d=MTTF/8760
in the unit of years. f-average failure of frequency (failures/year) or outages/year is unit of frequency
(outage).

2.3. ANN technique
Fault location from both the ends of the line can be found using AI. To find out the location
feedforward backpropagation neural networks can be used for training purposes on transmission model. To
train the model data of faulty insulator detection using proportional integral and derivative (PID) test
conducted on 400 KV Koradi-Bhusawal line is used. Transmission line model for individual phase fault of
three phases were computer-generated for 350 km line length with intervals of 5 km [4], [18], [19]. ANN
gives accurate pattern recognition, which is proposed by researcher to use in various applications of power
system, decision making under fault condition, relaying and for signal processing [20]. Collected real time
faults and corresponding data are used for testing and training the model. After testing data and training data,
model can be used for transmission line fault incidents. After identifying fault, fault classification can be
done into different categories as per faulty phases.
3. RESEARCH METHOD FOR FAULT FINDING
For identification of transmission system faults, the significant general steps are defining the system,
define failure criteria, make suitable assumptions, prepare system model, carry out failure effect analysis,
evaluate reliability indices, analyze the result, and prepare reliability improvement plan. The faults in the
proposed transmission system are determined by the implementation of developed procedure [2], [7], [13],
[14], [19] as shown in Figure 3. The proposed fault finding algorithm uses the nomenclature as-current flow
through the conductor (I), transmitting voltage (V), apparent power (S), active power (P), reactive power (Q),
frequency (f) (50 Hz), power factor (φ), load angle (δ), active power supplied per phase-Pa, Pb, Pc, reactive
power supplied per phase-Qa, Qb, Qc, apparent power supplied per phase-Sa, Sb, Sc, voltage per phase-Va,
Vb, Vc, current per phase-Ia, Ib, Ic, and IPF-pre fault condition current [4], [6].
Increases transmission systems load ability by knowing real time data of bus voltages, currents and
separation of angle between buses. This gives resources utilization in better way [19]. Maintenance planning
is critical important for deregulated supply as transmission system having aging hardware and components.
This maintenance planning and optimizing decision can save cost. Reliability centered maintenance (RCM)
method is used in this method [21]. Advanced technologies are developed in recent, such as anchors
replacement, installing monitoring systems, lightning arresters, installation surveillance systems on line
arresters, and replacement of earth wire [22]. The proposed procedure utilizes symmetrical component
analysis to determine fault current, fault impedance, impedance angle and positive-sequence impedance.
Flow charts show the step wise method for fault identification and decision for correct maintenance using
LLMT by considering various parameters like reasons for faults, proper procedure, maintenance safety and
security. Follow procedure for calculation of transmission system availability-for each voltage level-calculate
availability and declare it separately, alternating current (AC) transmission lines-consider each circuit as one
element of the AC transmission line [23]. OHLs maintenance projects doing all types of work like overlaying
[11], [23]. There are some faults that can be predicted at pre outage stage for which live line maintenance can
be applied (LLMT). To improve LLMT, working environment and safety features. refresher training can be
provided from experienced utilities with expertise sharing, continuously upgraded technical skills and
knowledge [24]. For different reasons of fault Table 1 shows common types of faults occurred in a month as
outage, unit loss and type of possible maintenance applied on a given line. Graphical representation of
possible outages, power loss, units and revenue loss in rupees can be saved under different types faults by
using LLMT. LLMT can be applied by standard procedures created on best practices and international norms
as documented by authorities like International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and work by Conference Internationale des Grandes Reseaux Electriques
(CIGRE) and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) [24].

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A case study for a line having total available hours in a year are 8760. Reliability analyses obtained
through comparing calculations and measurements provides following results shown in Table 2 for CLMT
and LLMT. Reliability analyses calculated following parameter to compare maintenance are downtime,
repair time, average failure rate, available time, repair rate, mean time between failure and mean time to
repair. Financial assessment of various technologies tells that in spite of penalties for de-energizing, revenue
loss due to outages may be the main factor for development for line maintenance of transmission networks
under live condition [6], [27], [28].

4.2. The reduction in total outage time and average failure rate
Table 2 shows initial maintenance is done with CLMT, the outage time was 125 Hr, after applying
LLMT for some of the possible faults the outage time reduced to 87 Hrs. Figure 8 shows reduction in total
outage time (Tr) from 97 to 71 Hr. This gives percentage improvement in parameter as 28 Hrs. Figure 9
shows reduction in total failure rate after applying maintenance on total 65 no of faults. The average failure
rate with CLMT for given line was 845 and by using LLMT it was 117. Percentage (%) improvement in
average failure rate was 13.86%. The economic analysis of live line maintenance (LLMT) with data of
CLMT shows live line maintenance was more economical and opens new opportunity for improvement
[26]–[28].

4.3. The improvement in mean time to repair and repair rate
The table shows for a given transmission line, there were total 65 no of faults, out of 65 no. of faults
LLMT maintenance was successfully applied on 24 no of faults. Thus, LLMT reduces no of faults up to
36.92%. For given transmission line MTBF for CLMT was 132.86 and MTTR 1.92 after applying LLMT.
MTBF using LLMT improves to 133.43 and MTTR 1.334 for which mean time to repair improves by
30.52% compared to CLMT. Repair rate (µ) for CLMT was 0.518 and for repair rate (µ) for LLMT changes
to 0.75. Thus, repair rate (µ) improved in above case as 44.72% using LLMT, thus improves the revenue for
organization during available period.

5. CONCLUSION
The work reported takes in to account the state enumerate model for fault-finding. Markov method
with a semi-forced outage systems diagram used for LLMT. The reliability analysis of the model is carried
out for different kinds of faults considering the actual real time fault data. The performed statistical analysis
evaluates the system outage time and power loss for the designated faults. The paper also reports the step-by-
step procedure for fault identification with ANN model.
The practical implementation of LLMT validates the analysis results of maintenance using LLMT
techniques and ANN as shown in Table 2. The two maintenance methods can be implemented to remove or
minimized fault condition. By practical study in 35% fault cases LLMT can be applied, out of all types of
faults. Application of LLMT in above model is limited to single phase pre fault situation and transmission
line load adjustment. Using LLMT results shows downtime reduces to 30.4%, reduces average failure rate
and improves availability thus increases revenue. It saves failure of related equipment and helps to maintain
working condition of other equipment’s, if tested and monitored. Thus, from above study LLMT under
pre-fault conditions are recommended for managing continuity of supply. Coefficient of correlation in this
case given by ANN to be 0.99645 for different 10 types of faults. Future scope of proposed work includes
design and development of new model, method and its result validation considering other parameters for
LLMT application.
