Fuzzy Logic Controller Aided Expert Relaying Mechanism System

Abstract

Protection and reliability enactment of electrical systems are important and emerging in power system research. Nowadays, it is very evident that the implementation of an intelligent algorithm is found in the field of substation equipment protection and relaying purposes. Majority of the researches are based on single load connected to a single feeder line and validated using simulation. A hardware based implementation and validation system will be an additional aspects. In this paper, we have discussed an expert system based intelligent relaying scheme by incorporating fuzzy algorithm in microcontroller. Purpose is to control the moving contacts of the breaker part for controlling multiple loads connected to a single feeder line. This paper reports the entire performance of intelligent relaying mechanism only considering stage - I with respect to non-fuzzy based relaying scheme and successfully achieved fastest coordination time after validating it under IEEE 13 Bus system. We have also validated the cascaded fuzzy based system and a non-fuzzy based system using ATMEL microcontroller. (c) 2021 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
