Control of a power transmission system
Patent number: 8798800
Abstract: The invention provides improved control of a power transmission system having a first group of
measurement units in a first geographical area providing a first set of phasors and a second group of
measurement units in a second geographical area providing a second set of phasors, where the phasors in the
sets are generated at the same instant in time. In this system the power control device includes a phasor aligning
unit that time aligns the first and second sets of phasors and a control unit that compares each set of phasors with
a corresponding phasor number threshold, determines that a first control condition is fulfilled if each phasor
number threshold has been exceeded and enables the provision of a common signal if the first control condition is
fulfilled. The common signal is based on the obtained phasors in the first and second sets.

Power or voltage oscillation damping in a power transmission system
Patent number: 8710700
Abstract: A method, device and computer program product for providing improved control of power or voltage
oscillation damping in a power transmission system. The device includes a magnitude obtaining element
configured to obtain an instantaneous magnitude of a signal representing a deviating oscillation in at least one
element of the power transmission system, a slope investigating element configured to determine the rate of
change of the signal, and a first processing block including an integrating element configured to integrate the
instantaneous magnitudes with an integrating factor that is based on the determined rate of change. The first
processing block is further configured to form a phase compensation angle based on the integrated
instantaneous magnitude for use in a damping control signal generating unit in order to provide power or voltage
oscillation damping of the system. Type: Grant

Power system stabilization
Patent number: 9043040
Abstract: A method of damping power system oscillations include obtaining a time synchronized damping
control signal from a remote location and determining a communication time delay in receiving the time
synchronized damping control signal from the remote location. The time synchronized damping control signal is
then modified based on a phase compensation factor and an amplitude compensation factor determined from the
time delay. Finally, a damping signal is generated based on the modified time synchronized damping control
signal. Type: Application

ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PROTECTION
Patent Number: 9178350
Abstract: A system for distributing electrical current to a plurality of loads includes a first sensor coupled to an input
of a protection zone for measuring a first current entering the protection zone, wherein the protection zone includes
at least a portion of an electrical distribution feeder. The system also includes a second sensor coupled to an output
of the protection zone for measuring a second current exiting the protection zone, and a processor coupled to the
first sensor and to the second sensor. The processor is programmed to receive measurements representative of the
first current and the second current, and calculate a reactive current differential of the protection zone based on the
first current and the second current. The processor is also programmed to compare the reactive current differential
with a fault threshold, and generate an error notification if the reactive current differential is greater than the fault
threshold.

POWER SYSTEM STABILIZATION
Patent number: 9006933
Abstract: A method of damping power system oscillations includes obtaining an AC measurement signal from a
power system location and determining oscillation frequency values in the AC measurement signal. A plurality of
single signal components are extracted from the AC measurement signal by subtracting a plurality of processed
measurement signals from the AC measurement signal and a damping signal is generated based on the plurality of
single signal components. Each of the plurality of processed measurement signals are generated by time delaying
the AC measurement signal with a time delay associated with each of the oscillation frequency values other than
the oscillation frequency value of the single signal component to be extracted. Type: Application
