Development of the tool for application of the method for localization of unsymmetrical faults
Pospíšil, Tomáš ; Vyčítal, Václav (referee) ; Topolánek, David (advisor)
In resonant earthed distribution systems, the capacitive current of the system is compensated by grounding via a arc suppression coil. The level of fault current is then very small and independent on the fault location which greatly complicates the rapid finding of the fault site. At this moment there is no method to be used to directly locate the site of a single-phase fault in the distribution network, new methods and solutions are being constantly sought to address the shortcomings of the existent localization methods. The diploma thesis deals with the design of a universal software tool that allows to apply a new method of locating an asymmetric fault in the distribution network. The tool is created in a MATLAB environment and utilizes the negative sequence voltage measured on the low-voltage sides of the distribution transformers and the negative sequence current measured behind the power transformer. By using the proposed tool, it is possible to read the parameters of any part of the distribution system that the user enters together with the measured values of the voltage and current into the initialization file. After the specified network parameters are loaded, a numerical model is created, which is then used for the method. In the work is described in detail the way of entering the parameters of the network into the initialization file, the method of automatic assembling of the numerical model based on the entered data and the possibility of customizing the calculation parameters. At the end of the thesis, the functionality of the proposed software tool is verified on data from simulation of the test network.

Earth Faults Protections
Ostruška, Jan ; Topolánek, David (referee) ; Orságová, Jaroslava (advisor)
The thesis deals with wattmetric and conductance principle of faulted feeder detection in medium voltage compensated distribution networks. These principles are analysed and tested with particular emphasis on high impedance earth faults. The first part of testing utilizes data about state of the system with earth fault, which was determined by designed static model of earth fault. The testing in the second part utilizes real records of high impedance earth faults. In both parts the wattmetric and conductance protections was presented on protective relays ABB REF 615, ABB REM 543 and Protection&Consulting RYo by means of unit OMICRON CMC 256plus. As a major result of performed tests are records of detection of particular earth faults. Based on these records it could be concluded, that functionality of protections is substantially dependent on magnitude of zero sequence voltage. Furthermore the wattmetric protections are dependent on fault resistance as well.

Ground Fault Location in Compensated Distribution Network
Topolánek, David ; Janíček,, František (referee) ; Mišák,, Stanislav (referee) ; Toman, Petr (advisor)
The most widespread system of an earthing neutral point of a supply transformer in a MV network is an earthing through an arc-suppression coil. In this case of a resonant-earthed power system a fault current is compensated by the suppression coil and only residual current flows through a fault point. A value of the residual current is much smaller then a value of an original capacitive current of the network and is not dependent on the fault location. According to that reasons it is really complicated to fast and accurately determine the fault point location. Since nowadays used methods for the ground fault location inside wide distribution networks have a lot of disadvantages, the thesis is focused on a proposal of a new method for the ground fault location especially inside of a compensated network. The main reasons for a consecutive installation of power quality meters into distribution transformer substations are a power quality monitoring and a global evolution of an electrical network onto the “SmartGrids”. In case that all results from the meters are properly synchronized and centralized, new possibilities of control or of an evaluation of a network are enabled. This doctoral thesis proposes the possibility for the ground fault detection with an aid of synchronized records recorded on the low-voltage side of the distribution transformers 22/0.4 kV into the network equipped with automatics for short-time increasing of an active part of a faulty current. The described method uses a voltage drop evoked by connecting of the auxiliary resistor for location of the faulty section. The proposed method is tested with help of numerical model which presents a part of the distribution network Series of simulation are executed and correct function and force function of the method is reviewed. Finally the thesis describes real experiment and also a confrontation between simulation and real measuring, and also possibilities of method usage are commented.

The Indication of Earth Faults in Overhead Lines
Pospíšil, Zdeněk ; Topolánek, David (referee) ; Toman, Petr (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with the indication and localization of earth faults in overhead lines. Earth fault is the most frequently occurring type of fault in medium voltage overhead lines – it covers approx. 95% of all faults and is very difficult to indicate and localize them correctly and in time with currently available methods on the market. Therefore is very important to study earth fault and its indication, localization. The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with faults in overhead networks with different type of neutral grounding, mainly with one phase to the ground fault in the compensated, ungrounded, solidly grounded and via resistance grounded networks. Most of the theoretical part is dedicated to one phase to the ground fault in the compensated and ungrounded networks, where this type fault is called the earth fault. In the compensated and ungrounded networks is described in details behavior – voltage and current relations during both steady state and transient state earth fault. The theoretical part is further dedicated to detection methods of earth faults and their preconditions for use. There is described also in details the complete procedure of earth fault detection, which includes indication, unhealthy feeder determination and exact position or line section localization. End of the theoretical part is then focused on determination of accuracy requirements for measurement of basic quantities and computation of other parameters. The practical part deals with a work at medium distribution network model, which includes familiarization with the model, detailed verification of its functionality and behavior during the earth fault, obtaining faults records and algorithmization of methods: method of qu – diagram and method of first half - period, which are able to detect unhealthy feeder. This part of the thesis was put together based on a demand of company Mega, corp., which wanted to verify function of both above mentioned and by them not yet tested methods.
