In this research, we create a single-phase to ground synthetic fault by the simulation of a three-phase cable system and identify the location using mathematical techniques of Fourier and modal transforms. Current and voltage signals are measured and analyzed for fault location by the reflection of the waves between the measured point and the fault location. By simulating the network and line modeling using alternative transient programs (ATP) and MATLAB software, two single-phase to ground faults are generated at different points of the line at times of 0.3 and 0.305 s. First, the fault waveforms are displayed in the ATP software, and then this waveform is transmitted to MATLAB and presented along with its phasor view over time. In addition to the waveforms, the detection and fault location indicators are presented in different states of fault. Fault resistances of 1, 100, and 1,000 ohms are considered for fault creation and modeling with low arch strength. The results show that the proposed method has an average fault of less than 0.25% to determine the fault location, which is perfectly correct. It is varied due to changing the conditions of time, resistance, location, and type of error but does not exceed the above value.

This paper presents a single ended faulted phase-based traveling wave fault localization algorithm for loop distribution grids which is that the sensor can get many reflected signals from the fault point to face the complexity of localization. This localization algorithm uses a band pass filter to remove noise from the corrupted signal. The arriving times of the faulted phase-based filtered signals can be obtained by using phase-modal and discrete wavelet transformations. The estimated fault distance can be calculated using the traveling wave method. The proposed algorithm presents detail level analysis using three detail levels coefficients. The proposed algorithm is tested with MATLAB simulation single line to ground fault in a 10 kV grounded loop distribution system. The simulation result shows that the faulted phase time delay can give better accuracy than using conventional time delays. The proposed algorithm can give fault distance estimation accuracy up to 99.7% with 30 dB contaminated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the nearest lines from the measured terminal.

Novel design of a fractional wavelet and its application to image denoisingjournalBEEI
This paper proposes a new wavelet family based on fractional calculus. The Haar wavelet is extended to fractional order by a generalization of the associated conventional low-pass filter using the fractional delay operator Z-D. The high-pass fractional filter is then designed by a simple modulation of the low-pass filter. In contrast, the scaling and wavelet functions are constructed using the cascade Daubechies algorithm. The regularity and orthogonality of the obtained wavelet basis are ensured by a good choice of the fractional filter coefficients. An application example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Thanks to the flexibility of the fractional filters, the proposed approach provides better performance in term of image denoising.

About 80% of faults in the power system distribution are earth faults. Studies to find effective methods to identify and locate faults in distribution networks are still relevant, in addition to the presence of harmonic signals that distort waves and create deviations in the power system that can cause many problems to the protection relay. This study focuses on a single line-to-ground (SLG) fault location algorithm in a power system distribution network based on fundamental frequency measured using the differential equation method. The developed algorithm considers the presence of harmonics components in the simulation network. In this study, several filters were tested to obtain the lowest fault location error to reduce the effect of harmonic components on the developed fault location algorithm. The network model is simulated using the alternate transients program (ATP)Draw simulation program. Several fault scenarios have been implemented during the simulation, such as fault resistance, fault distance, and fault inception angle. The final results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the fault distance successfully with an acceptable fault location error. Based on the simulation results, the differential equation continuous wavelet technique (CWT) filter-based algorithm produced an accurate fault location result with a mean average error (MAE) of less than 5%.

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

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
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future

Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
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

Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
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

Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.
Remote field-programmable gate array laboratory for signal acquisition and de...IJECEIAES
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.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
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.

In this research, we create a single-phase to ground synthetic fault by the
simulation of a three-phase cable system and identify the location using
mathematical techniques of Fourier and modal transforms. Current and
voltage signals are measured and analyzed for fault location by the reflection
of the waves between the measured point and the fault location. By
simulating the network and line modeling using alternative transient
programs (ATP) and MATLAB software, two single-phase to ground faults
are generated at different points of the line at times of 0.3 and 0.305 s. First,
the fault waveforms are displayed in the ATP software, and then this
waveform is transmitted to MATLAB and presented along with its phasor
view over time. In addition to the waveforms, the detection and fault
location indicators are presented in different states of fault. Fault resistances
of 1, 100, and 1,000 ohms are considered for fault creation and modeling
with low arch strength. The results show that the proposed method has an
average fault of less than 0.25% to determine the fault location, which is
perfectly correct. It is varied due to changing the conditions of time,
resistance, location, and type of error but does not exceed the above value.

1. INTRODUCTION
A fault is a physical condition that results in a device, a component, or an element's failure to
perform a required routine. A short or definitive circuit of wire includes this definition. The fault almost
always involves a short circuit between the phase conductors or between the phase and the ground [1]. The
fault may be an open connection or may have some impedance at the fault connection. The terms "fault",
often synonymous with the term "short circuit", are defined in the ANSI/IEEE Std.100-1992 standard [2]–[5].
In fact, methods for determining the fault location for cables are categorized as online and offline. In the off-
line method, a special tool is used to test the cable for failure. In the online method, the voltage and current
are sampled and their processing is used to determine the fault point. The method of online location for
underground cables is different than that used for aerial lines. The two main methods for online location are
based on signal analysis and knowledge-based [6]–[9].

In the present study, the travelling wave-based method has been used. Travelling waves are
generated by changing the energy stored in the capacitor and the inductor in lines or cables after a fault
occurs. Both the voltage and current propagate along the circuit at a velocity close to the velocity of light,
encountering impedance discontinuities, and then high-frequency waves emanating from the fault are
reflected back to the source and transferred to the other side. What is new in this article is the simultaneous
examination of two single-phase faults to the ground with time intervals of 0.3 and 0.305 seconds, with the
condition that the faults occur at different points. For this, we used three-phase line and network modeling,
fault creation by alternative transient program (ATP) and MATLAB simulator software, and the Fourier and
modal transforms to figure out where the faults were.
2. METHOD
A useful analysis of faults in underground cables was carried out, and the travelling waves generated
by the fault were discussed and in the form of voltage and current equations presented before, and the method
of using these waves was also described in the fault location [10]–[12]. The power cable model is described
and a complete model of three-phase power cables is provided [13]–[15]. Subsequently, the discrete Fourier
transform (DFT) method will be introduced as a powerful method of discrete Fourier transform for the waves
of sampling. Followed by it, the Clarke transform and the transfer of the values obtained from the Fourier
transform to the modal domain will be described in this paper. Lastly, to finish talking about finding faults
and how to find them, indicators are set up based on the parameters that come from the Fourier transform and
how they are moved to the modal domain.
Changes in the amount of stored energy in the inductance and the capacitance of the transmission
lines caused by the fault cause to create the travelling waves, that these waves are transferred from the place
of occurring fault to two sides of the end of transmission line. The frequency of travelling signals generated
by the fault can range from several Hz to several tens of kHz. The path of the traveling wave of travelling
waves is plotted in Figure 1 in the event of fault in the F point [16]–[20].

2.1. Fourier transform
Discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT) or DFT is one type of Fourier transform. Using this
transform, a function (usually defined in the time domain) transmits to another function in the frequency
domain, but with the difference that the input function for the DFT transform must be a discrete function.
This function or input signal is usually generated by sampling a continuous function such as voltage signals
[21], [22]. In general mode, the definition of a discrete Fourier transform is defined as: If 𝑥 [𝑛], 𝑛 ∈ ℤ is a
discrete function with real or mixed values, then the discrete-time Fourier transform is defined as (1).

The equation (1) is considered as the main definition of DFT, which is expressed in terms of discrete signals.
If time signal is continuous 𝑥(𝑡), in order to obtain the DFT formula, a discrete signal 𝑥′(𝑘𝛥𝑡), which
contains N samples of the sampled signal 𝑥(𝑡), will first be considered that its value is expressed in terms of
time as (2):
𝑥′
(𝑘𝛥𝑇) = 𝑥(𝑡)𝑤(𝑡) ∑ 𝛿(𝑡 − 𝑘𝛥𝑇)
+∞
𝑘=−∞ (2)
where ΔT is the sampling period and w(t) is the function that contains the N samples of the sampled signal
𝑥(𝑡) at a time interval T0. In other words, this function can be introduced as a function with the sampling
window with length of N. For stable applications, the length of the sampling window is constant, but this
window moves forward over time and samples -∞ to ∞ enter and exit from the window, respectively, and
thus the sampling process is done during the time domain. But the general form of computing DFT that most
authors of articles use are (3).

𝑁
∑ 𝑥(𝑟 + 𝑘)𝑒−
2𝜋

𝑘=0 , 𝑟 ≥ 1 (3)
In (3), 𝑡 = (𝑟 − 1) 𝛥𝑇 is the phasor time tag of the sample r. ΔT equal to 1/fs is the distance between the two
samples of the signal sampled. N is the number of samples in each sampling cycle, which is determined
according to the frequency of sampling (𝑓𝑠) and the frequency of the power system (𝑓) (𝑁 = 𝑓𝑠/𝑓). In the
above equation 𝑥(𝑟 + 𝑘), the 𝑟 + 𝑘 sample is the sampled signal 𝑥(𝑛). In real-time applications, there are no
later samples in waveform that can be used to calculate the phasor, but the DFT algorithm uses from previous
examples to a previous cycle, so there will be a second NΔT delay, unless the sampling window changes
comparatively with sample variations. In order to adapt to the actual conditions, the phases obtained with the
labels can be considered as much as NΔT seconds delay or for the real time application, the equation (4) can
be used.

In this paper, the (4) is used recursively in calculating the phasor of waveform of current. An AC
wave can be represented by (5).
𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑋𝑚. 𝑐𝑜𝑠 (𝜙 + ∫ 𝜔(𝜏). 𝑑𝜏
𝑡

) (5)
For a sinusoidal waveform as defined totally, the term phasor is defined, which is expressed as a vector in the
form of a complex number, this complex number includes the size and amplitude of the sinusoidal waveform
and its initial angle which will be written as (6).
𝑋
̄ = 𝑋𝑚∠𝜙 (6)
By applying the DFT defined on the sinusoidal signal, its phasor also obtained that the amount of the
Fourier amplitude for the sinusoidal waveform is equal to the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal, but the
angular value obtained for the Fourier complex number examples will not be equal to the initial phase angle
φ and will change for different times. For the first sample of the phasor, the angular amount of the phasor is
equal to the initial phase φ, but at other times, this value will be changed, such that for the time variations, the
periodic variation is between -180 and 180. In order to eliminate the DFT rotational effect, we use the
recursive DFT (RDFT) in the phasor angle of the waveform. In such a way that the difference of the input
samples multiplies into the sampling window and samples exiting from the sampling window multiply the
amount of fuzzy rotation, /thus, the phase rotation is zeroed over time, and the angle of phasor will be equal
to the initial angle. In this way, the RDFF Fourier transform is expressed as (7), (x(r) sample of rth
).

By obtaining the phasor specifications of the voltage and current waveforms in the network,
accurate information can be obtained regarding the characteristics of the voltage and current waves, and
many of the events occurring on the network can be detected and identified through changes detected in the
amplitude and the angles of measured voltages and currents. Calculating waveform phasor by the discrete
Fourier transform as a powerful tool, which can be used in many applications, such as network mode
estimation, and the estimation of aerial and cable transmission parameters (as the voltage and current
components measured in the previous section is described as phasor), calculations of short circuit faults,
sustainability issues, and many cases [21], [22].
2.2. Clarke's transform
The three-phase lines have considerable electromagnetic coupling. In order to eliminate the coupling
effect between phases and using the travelling wave's method, the phase domain signals are converted into
modal components by a modal transform. One of the well-known transforms used for this purpose in this
research is the Clarke transform, which is defined as (10).

𝑀𝛼
𝑀𝛽
] =

] (10)
In which a, b, and c, respectively, indicate the voltage or current of phase A, B, and C respectively. The
components, M0, Mα, Mβ, express modal modes. Since the matric coefficients are real numbers, modal
components obtained from phase signals are completely independent of each other. Independence of these
quantities makes the calculations easy for any mode and does not place under the influences of other mods.
Using this transform, you can calculate the fault in any mode and analyze the results based on it. This
transform can also be applied to the three-phase time waves, and to their phasors, in any case, this transform
will cause the independence of three-phase inputs. The result is that Clark's transform only performs the
transition from the fuzzy domain to the modal, and does not in itself do any particular work, but for the
application, other equations should be used to achieve the objectives of the problem. For example, for short
circuit calculations, in this paper, and to identify faulty phases and fault location, it should be defined
indicators based on voltage and current equations in the modal field and used them for this goal [21], [23],
[24]. The general diagram of the comparative detection/location technique based on the Fourier transform
based on the equations described in this section is shown in Figure 2.
Voltage and current measurement units are installed at both ends of the line. The three-phase
voltages and currents measured at both ends of the line are converted by Fourier transform to the phasor
components, the phasors are transmitted in the fuzzy domain by Clark's transform into the modal domain,
and on the basis of which the transmission line parameters are estimated approximately. Then, using the
detection and fault location indicators that are related to the line characteristics, the occurrence and type of
fault and its location will be estimated [25]–[27].
In this section, using the current and voltage samples coincided at the two ends of the transmission
line, an index is provided for estimating the fault location. Consider an optional three-phase transmission line
shown in Figure 3 that includes the phases a, b, c and the ground system. The system shown in Figure 3 is
divided into two parts. The section of the transmission line is drawn in the form of a three-wire to emphasize
the transport structure of the line; other parts of the resource for simplicity are represented as a single-line
diagram.
In a line, transmission of voltages and currents at a distance of x (km) from the receiving end are
interconnected by the differential (11) [28]–[30].

The total values listed above are the modal components of the measured signals derived from the
Clarke transform, that subscribe m referring to, α and β. In order to avoid the effects of zero modes and the
uncertainty of zero mode parameters, zero mode calculations are not recommended [23]. Constants A and B
are determined by boundary conditions at the end of the transmitter and receiver. Suppose the fault is
occurred in the middle of the line at point F that x=DL km from the end of the receiver R in the transmission
line SR of Figure 3. L is the total length of the transmission line; D is the per unit distance from the receiving
end to the fault and is also used as an index of fault location/detection. In the case of fault at point F, the
transmission line is divided into two sections. One is the SF section and the other is FR. These two sections
of the line can still be considered as a complete transmission line. This means that the voltages at each point
on the two sections of the line can be expressed in terms of the voltage and current measured at the two ends
of the S and R. In addition, at the fault point F the voltages in the expressions of two datasets (VS, IS) and
(VR, IR) is equal. If we placed two measuring datasets (VS, IS) and (VR, IR) on a reference position x=◦ and
give the boundary conditions at the two ends, the voltage in the fault position x=DL km can be expressed:

The above criterion can be used to compare all methods of locating and determining their accuracy and
provided a proper assessment of the method's performance. Since fault location in three-phase lines is
intended, considering that these lines have significant electromagnetic coupling, in order to remove the effect
of coupling between phases and to use the traveling wave method, we convert the phase domain signals into
separate modal components by a modal transform, which is a relatively new work.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In the present study, an EMTP/ATP software is used for simulation example and, according to it, the
cable network is investigated. This is comprehensive software for transient states studies and provides both
models of aerial and cable transmission lines. In this paper, the JMarti model for underground cables is used.
The model of adjacent cable networks is modeled on a tune on equivalent on both sides of the S and R, with
voltage sources of 230<10 and 230<0.
3.1. Fault simulation in locations with different resistances at different times
After modeling the network and line, two single-phase A to ground (AG) faults occur at different
points of the line at 0.3 and 0.305 s times. First, the fault waveforms will be displayed in the ATP software,
and then this waveform will be transmitted to MATLAB software, and will be presented along with its
phasor view over time. In addition to the waveforms, the detection and fault location indicators are presented
in different states of fault. Fault resistances 1, 100, and 1,000 ohms are considered for creating fault and
modeling fault with low arch strength to resistance of high fault. In representing the transient waveforms
generated by fault and DFT function and detection and location indicators, the figures related to the faults
created in phase A are displayed and due to the similarities of other faults, the presentation of the
corresponding figures is avoided and the results in relevant tables are presented.
3.2. Single phase A fault in the middle of cable in 0.3 seconds with a fault resistance 1Ω
In this section, a single-phase AG short-circuit fault with a fault resistance 1 ohm is generated at
0.3 seconds in the middle of the cable. It is assumed that the measuring units are installed on both S and R
bus, and the voltage and current signals of both ends are measured at any moment. The measured values of
voltage and current from both S and R bus are shown in the following diagrams, respectively. The voltage
waveform in S bus is shown in Figure 4. As it can be seen in the figure, the voltage is in its stable state before
the fault occurs, by creating short circuit fault at 0.3 s, the voltage drops sharply and, after eliminating the
fault at time 0.5 s, becomes normal. Transient waves at the same moments of fault quickly disappear.
The above waveform is shown in Figure 5 after transferring to the MATLAB environment and
applying the DFT on it. In this paper, the waveform time steps in the ATP software are equal to 10-6
. For
phasor measurement, the ATP waveforms are sampled at 10 kHz and from samples of DFT Fourier

transform, a frequency of 50 Hz is taken. The sampling window is considered equal to a full power cycle and
the number of samples in this window is N=200. Due to the constant number of samples in the DFT sampling
window, there is a 20 msec delay (a power cycle) after the sudden change of waveform state, which full cycle
DFT will not be able to detect rapidly these changes, although after starting waveform changes, these
changes are detected in the phasor area by DFT, but due to the incomplete sampling window, rapid changes
in voltage waves and short-circuit current are not detected with sufficient speed and accuracy. To increase the
tracing speed of changes of transient waves, the length of the sampling window of sampling can be shortened
so that the tracing accuracy of the fast changes in the waveform to be increased due to fault, but during
normal conditions and slight variations in the amplitude of the waveform, the number of samples and the
length of Fourier transform information window should be reached in a full cycle to prevent non-basic
frequency oscillations.

To avoid the phase rotation due to moving the DFT information window along the waveform, we
use a recursive DFT, so that the phasor angle of the sinusoidal waveform remains constant during steady
state. The result of this operation is shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 shows the phasor angle of the measured
voltage at the bus S. After the fault occurred at time 0.3 s, in addition to changing the size of the phasor, the
angular value also changes, within 0.5 seconds after the fault is resolved, the value of the phasor returns to

the initial value before the fault. As it is seen, due to the recurrence property, fuzzy rotation is not observed at
the phasor angle.
Figure 6. Phasor angle of phase A voltage at bus S
Obviously, during short circuiting, the current through the line will increase suddenly and the
voltage of bus connected to it will drop sharply. The simulation result for measured current of phase A at the
bus S is shown in Figure 7. Depending on the short-circuit occurrence, in the DC waveform, a decline view
with different amplitudes can be created. In Figure 7, the DC component present in a waveform is small. The
sampled waveform of the phase A current at the S bus and its phasor size in the MATLAB environment is
plotted in Figure 8. Figure 9 shows the phasor angle of the phase A current at the bus S.
Figure 7. The waveform of the measured current of phase A at the bus S
Due to the fact that single phase fault occurred in phase A, there is strong changes in phase A, but
phase B and C are only affected by the induction of phase A variations. However, variations in phase A
current have little effect on phase B, and C currents, and this effect is small in the case of the voltage
amplitude, which is not visible, but a change is seen at phasor angle of voltage that is not too high. The
waveforms of the phases B and C during the phase A fault are stable and uniform. The time waveforms of the
phase B and C voltages and phasor amplitude of phase B voltage are shown in Figures 10 and 11,
respectively.

Figure 11. Phasor amplitude of phase B voltage in bus B
Figure 12 shows the variation in the angle of B phase voltage due to fault in phase A, which,
according to the figure, it can easily be seen that this change is 0.84 degrees and is negligible. This change
shows coupling and the effect of the variations of a phase in the two other phases and states the dependence
between them, given the figures of simulation; this dependence can be easily detectable. Figure 13 also
shows the waveforms of the phase B and C current. With a little more detailed observation of the time
waveform, it is possible to detect the change in the current of phases B and C at moments to start and resolve
the fault. The phase B current and its phasor amplitude are shown in Figure 14. Changes in the actual
waveform and its phasor amplitude are more evident in this figure.
Figure 12. Phasor angle of phase B voltage at bus S
Similarly, the phasor angle of the phase B current is shown in Figure 15. The variations in the
phasor angle of the current are about 0.3 degrees and have a small amount. It should be noted that the values
of voltage and current in the bus R are also similar to these parameters in the bus S. For fault detection and
location, their phasor calculations are required using the Fourier transform in both buses, so to refuse the
excessive increase of figures, showing of the actual time-wavelength and phasor on bus R is avoided because
the process of variations and appearance of the figures are similar to the parameters of the measurement at
bus S.

Comparative detection and fault location in underground cables using … (Vahdat Nazerian)
5833
After obtaining and displaying the waveforms of the size and angle of phasors of voltage and current
of phases, calculations related to the transfer of voltages and currents from the fuzzy domain to the modal
domain using the Clarke transform, and then the calculations related to the detection indicators of type of
fault and its location during the power cable are performed, and thus the type of fault and its location are
identified and the corresponding figures are gradually displayed. Although in almost all articles related to the
calculations of identification and classification of fault location using impedance methods and the use of
indicators of fault location, calculations in the modal domain have been proposed. In this paper, we use the
calculations of M and N fault detection indices in the fuzzy domain, along with the calculations of the
detection indicators in the modal field. But about the location indicators, we only use the D location index in
the modal domain. All calculations for fault detection indices in the fuzzy and modal domains are the same,
but the only difference is the use of Clarke's transform.
First, the line parameters for the stable conditions before the fault are estimated using the equations
described in the previous section based on the DFT phasors on the voltage and current of the three- phase of
the primary and terminal two-bus and then using the values of the estimated parameters of the coefficients of
distribution and impedance of the cable characteristic and equations related to the calculation of the
indicators, their values are calculated in the fuzzy and modal domains. We use the α mode about location
index, because it has the least computational fault in detecting the location of the transmission lines and
cables in different types of faults, in other words, in the types of single-phase, two-phase and three-phase
faults, this index is more successful than the beta and zero mode indicators. In this study, we use this index to
determine the fault location in cable. In terms of performance, the fault detection indicators operate both in
the fuzzy domain and in the modal domain, so that, with the occurrence of the fault, the values of both the M
and N indices increase from the very low value almost zero to a great value more than 103
order, as soon as
the fault is resolved, it decreases again to a value of zero, even if it the network becomes unstable. However,
the more the fault of the short circuit is occurred with the lower fault resistance, the value of these indicators
will be greater, and vice versa, with increasing the fault resistance, their values decrease. Therefore, the
condition for increasing these indexes more than a certain value, which in this paper is greater than 500 for
the index Na, b, c, and for the index Mα,β,0 to detect single-phase fault of AG greater than 1,000 and for other
faults is selected greater than 700, the choice of the type of N indices in the fuzzy domain and the M in the
modal domain is based solely on decision making on the interference of both indicators in decision making
and has no other basis and it is possible to arbitrarily select each combination of the two N And M indicators
in the phase and modal domains that have no effect on the result. The choice of the above numerical values is
also based on the characteristics of the network studied and can be chosen differently for different networks;
only it should be paid attention to this issue that the selected boundary numbers should be chosen in such a
way that for different fault resistances from zero to high values to be given a correct answer. The values in
this network have been selected after trying and fault for different fault and values of different fault
resistance. Regarding the use of fuzzy indicators to detect the type of fault, it should be noted that although
the three-phase parameters are not independent and mutually influential, but the ratio of the effect of changes
in a phase on the two other phases is not such that the induced variations to be influential as much as the
intensity of phase (fault) and its effect is small, on the other hand, in the fault indicators, because the voltage
and current information of both buses is used, and the corresponding parameters differently from each other
according to the characteristic impedance are reduced, the indices of detection act like the method used in
differential relays and their values in faulted phases is much more than faultless phases. In faultless phases,
although there is a disturbance due to the negative effect of the fault phase, but because of having the
difference property of the parameters of the two primary and terminal buses, their values will be little, it can
be deduced that the detection indices in the fuzzy domain can also be used to identify the type of fault, which
is confirmed by repeated simulations and its results.
Figure 16 shows the detection indicator of fault Na, b, c. It is seen from the figure that all three fault
detection parameters in the moments before the fault are equal to zero, but after fault in the phase A at
0.3 seconds, the Na value increases from zero value to a large value, if values Nb and Nc are still equal to
zero and do not change, and will always be equal to zero. After removing fault, the fault detection value of
the phase A (Na) decreases again to zero. Simultaneously, Figure 17 shows the values of the fault detection
index in the three modes α, β and 0, as it can be seen that all three fault indices Nα, Nβ and N0 are zero
before the fault and as soon as the fault occurs, simultaneously increase to a large value and after removing
fault in phase A, they return to zero. By observing this situation, it can be easily understood the result.
Although the modal detection indicators are suitable for detecting the fault state, but the type of fault cannot
be correctly identified with these indices, in short circuit fault of single-phase B and C, the same situation
occurs (changing all three modal indicators), and so in this study, we use the fuzzy detection index
calculations to determine the fault type and the fault phase, which also obtains a correct result.

Figure 16. Fuzzy fault detection indicator
Figure 17. Modal fault detection indicator of Nαβ0
In the case of the fault location index, the situation is different, so that due to the small amount of
this indicator, both in fault and in other circumstances, from normal to the state of the existence of
disturbances other than fault in the system, modal values have sufficient citing and required accuracy to
identify the fault location in the modal area, and in the fuzzy field, according to the citing articles are not
used. Also, since this index is obtained by dividing the two N and M fault detection indicators, the
disturbances and the effects of the fault in the healthy phases also make relatively significant changes.
However, according to various papers and repeated experiments, the result is obtained that the use of the D
index in α mode has the highest success among other mods, and therefore, in this simulation, this parameter
is used to determine the location of fault, and as the next results will show, this parameter correctly shows the
fault location.
Figure 17 shows the values of fault location indices in the modal domain for the three modes α, β
and zero Dαβ0. It is noticeable that the values of this index in three modes before the fault have different
values greater than one. As the error occurs in phase A in 0.3 seconds, all three location indexes of Dα, Dβ
and D0 reaches to 0.5. If the value of this index reaches a number between zero and one, and in addition, the
fault detection indices is a large number, then it can be stated that fault occurs between the two buses R and
S, and the result of the multiplication of the fault location in the total length of the cable, the distance from

the fault location is obtained from the bus R. With this description, it is clear that in the case of a single-phase
fault AG in the middle of the cable, the Dα index presents the middle position of the cable as the fault
location, which is a perfectly correct result, and this value is observed in simulated figures.
After the error occurred, the value of these indicators were changed from 0.5 to an undefined
amount and over time, different values are obtained, sometimes the value of this index reaches a number
between 1 and zero, but since the value of the detection index is zero, it cannot be stated that fault has
occurred, while at the time of occurring fault, this number remains in the specified value between zero and a
constant after a few moments, but in turbulence conditions or in other conditions such as the oscillation of
power, if the index value reaches a number smaller than one, it does not remain constant. The irregular
behavior of the index D after the fault in Figure 18 is because, since the M and N values are very small and
zero at non-fault conditions, the smallest variations in them, due to their division, can cause large, rapid and
irregular changes in D index. Before the fault occurs, the calculation fault is related to the entire sampling
process and the DFT application is zero, due to the recursive property of the DFT, the TVE fault of the
phasor samples is accumulated over time, after the error occurred because in addition to the main frequency,
other frequencies appear in the waveform; these frequencies, which are located within the Fourier transform,
are not completely eliminated and cause fault in calculating the base frequency phasor (while non-known
frequencies near the main frequency will also appear in the waveform) that these faults will be due to the
recursive DFT within it. Although the DFT itself eliminates many of the frequencies due to inherent filtering
properties and the error value is low, it shows its effect in calculating the values of the M and N indices in the
mode after removing short-circuit fault. Therefore, it can be seen that after removing fault, fluctuations in the
D index are updated.
Figure 18. Dα,β,0 fault location indicators
Among the many simulations carried out, in this section, the simulation of single-phase faults of AG
for 1, 100, and 1,000 ohms resistances at 0.300 and 0.305 s times at different points of the cable at intervals
of 50, 25, 10 and 2.5% of the power cable length from the bus R is shown in the Tables 1 to 4 respectively,
and the type and locations of the calculated faults and their time and calculation fault are presented.
Calculations of other faults in different places and times can also be done and see the results. In this section,
this simulation is satisfied and, of course, the calculations are available in other conditions such as the present
modes. First, the calculations of fault in the fault location created in the middle of the cable are shown in
Table 1. According to the classification, the generated faults are AG type, respectively, that fault resistances
are considered 1, 100, and 1,000 ohms. For each fault resistance, the times 0.3 and 0.305 s are considered in
the next row. Afterwards, the performance of the fault detection index and the time of detection are shown in
the subsequent rows. In the case of fault detection time, it can be seen that by increasing the fault resistance
value according to the constant numerical criteria 500 and 700 for the fault detection index for all faults, the
fault detection time also increases, because the changes in the fault detection indicator in mode of high
resistance fault is less than low resistance fault.

According to the table, except for a single-phase fault 1,000 ohms in phase A, in the rest of the
cases, the definite detection time of fault has been less than 5 ms after occurring fault. For example, for
single-phase fault AG, the fault resistance of 1 ohm after the fault in 0.3 s, only 0.6 ms, after which the
single-phase fault AG was detected, and in the fault generated at 0.305 s, after 2 ms, type of fault is detected.
The maximum detection time also belongs to the AG fault at 0.305 s with a resistance of 1 ohm, which is
0.4289. It should be considered that the time of detection and removing fault should be less than the critical
time to resolve the fault in the study network. The more the time is less, the necessary measures are taken
place to prevent network instability and repairs faster and the network undergoes less stress. In almost any
article, the time of detection of fault location is not referred, and then this time is mentioned in this research.
This time is very important in online methods for locating fault. However, in this case, absolute optimization
was not carried out and the purpose was to find the fault location with a percentage of less faults. If it is
necessary, this time is as small as possible, phasors with an adaptive window length can be used, or
considered the criterion as the average of the maximum and minimum values after two consecutive
maximum values and two consecutive minimum are within a specified range that in this situation, even
before the index D reaches to a stable state and to be stable, it can be accurately expressed the value as the
index of the output location of program. It is emphasized again in this paper, as in all previous articles [23],
[25], [28], [31], that the accuracy of the location index is preferable to the time required to find it (albeit to an
acceptable level).

Comparative detection and fault location in underground cables using … (Vahdat Nazerian)

4. CONCLUSION
In this paper, the problem of fault detection and its location in underground three-phase power
cables has been investigated. The use of detection and fault detection indices in the fuzzy field is based on the
Fourier transform of voltage and current signals, which provides a correct answer in identifying the type of
fault. In addition, the fault detection modal indices prove the fault occurrence, but they cannot be used to
accurately detect the type of fault, and fuzzy detection indices should be used. The fault location index in the
modal domain in α mode is considered as the basis in determining the fault location. The use of the above
indicator in the determination of the fault location is less than 0.25%. This fault is quite appropriate in the
references according to the value of the fault, although the location of the fault is varied for changing the
conditions of time and resistance and the type of fault and its location, but not exceeding the above value.
From the results mentioned in this paper, we will conclude that the use of Fourier transforms and modal
transforms with the use of fault detection and location indicators is very effective in determining the type and
location of fault, and this subject is repeatedly expressed in various sections of this paper and shown.
