Project AIRE: Incident analysis for the improvement of maintenance of network equipment and protections. Preliminary phase

C. Fernández C. Brighenti

October 2009 - September 2011

Funding entity Iberdrola


The aim of the analysis of power system incidents is to assess the protection system behavior, correct or incorrect, for the faults that have happened in the power network.
If a failure is detected in the power system protection system, this failure has to be classified: breaker or relay failure. In case of a relay failure it has to be further analyzed in order to establish if the fault has been a general failure or if it has been a partial failure.
The information provided is used by the maintenance people to solve the problems that have caused the misbehavior or the network protection system.
