A Cumulative Sum-Based Fault Detector for Power System Relaying Application

In this paper, a cumulative-sum-based fault detection algorithm is proposed for the power system relaying application. Literature suggests the successful application of this method to process control systems where the deviation of parameters is tracked to indicate any abnormal conditions. The effectiveness of the algorithm is found to be better than the traditional methods in the presence of noise, system frequency deviation, and other uncertainties. It is also not affected by load change in a system. Above all, it provides relatively higher index values without compromising detection speed.
