Abstract

A method of fault tracking for relay protection devices is presented in this paper. Fault tracking means that after the failure of relay protection devices, the anomalies and warning information are obtained through data-mining technology, and then, the fault tracking algorithm is used to find the cause of failure. Let us take microcomputer protection as an example: Firstly, the common failure symptoms and the prior probability of failure causes can be collected through empirical field data. Then, the concept of an event set is proposed; thus, the causes set and the symptoms set of failure can be created. According to the causal relationship between the causes set of failure and symptoms set of failure, the reasoning chain and the corresponding Bayesian network model are built. Then, the probability of failure causes can be obtained through backward reasoning to continue the tracking analysis of failure causes for relay protection devices. Since the data used in modeling are all from statistics, this method has strong applicability and represents a simple and reliable method for the timely determination and elimination of failure in a power system.
