There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to detect transformer internal faults or transformer overheating and trip the transformer, with immunity to external faults for which tripping of the transformer is not required. A new transformer protection scheme based on dynamic state estimation has been proposed. The electro-thermal models of several types of transformer are built in an object-oriented manner with the introduction of Algebraic Quadratic Companion Form syntax. Several protection gaps, such as the coordination and settings of relays, have been resolved with proposed new method. The proposed method is secure, reliable, more sensitive and faster than legacy protection functions.
