ANN-BASED MEASURING ALGORITHMS FOR POWER-SYSTEM PROTECTION

During the last years a lot of research activities have been directed to point out the properties of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for ap plications in the field of electric power engineering. A survey of the use of ANN for the realization of powerful measuring algorithms with special interest in power system protection is presented in this paper . After a brief description of requirements for modern power protectio n systems different application areas for ANN in the field of signal p rocessing, fault classification and fault location are discussed. All these methods are related to measuring algorithms for power system pro tection.
