With the rising popularity of computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems (EMOPs) in real-world applications, many surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs) have been proposed in the recent decade. Nevertheless, high-dimensional EMOPs remain challenging for existing SAEAs attributed to their requirement in massive fitnes...

In the oil and gas production, the oil-water interface should be monitored to warn risks and to optimize the efficiency. The conventional buoyancy method could only be conducted when the production is stopped, not being able to support the production. Thus, many studies have been made to achieve real-time monitoring. Nevertheless, almost none of th...

During a train running at speed, the pantograph-catenary structure atop the train would be influenced by many factors, resulting in disconnections. A timely detection on arcs across this structure helps to guide works on real-time operating and later maintenance, to eliminate latent factors of disconnection. A theory on the generation of arcs is re...

As voltage measuring devices are widely used in the high voltage power system with a primary‐secondary‐fusion structure, electronic voltage transformers are directly connected to the primary conductor and would face much more serious electromagnetic environments than general secondary equipment. As a result, they would still experience failures eve...

Understanding long-term monitoring steady-state errors of capacitor voltage transformers (CVTs) is critical for acquiring accurate and continuous voltage signals from the power grid. However, existing methods cannot maintain good performance over the long term because they cannot update the initial model while primary voltages fluctuate nor maintai...

Non-contact three-phase instantaneous voltage measurement is an emerging and challenging topic in modern smart grids. Existing measurement methods can hardly obtain accurate or instantaneous results attributed to the coupled three-phase information. Even though some advanced optimization algorithms have been developed, their performance should be f...

The single-phase to ground fault (SPGF) is very common in power grids. To decrease the fault’s influence on the power supply’s reliability, the neutral point is usually grounded via the Petersen coil, significantly reducing the outage rate. Nevertheless, this coil would weaken the fault current and make the faulty line identification much more diff...

In a wide range of electrical applications, the requirement for noncontact measurement of weak direct currents is continuously increasing. Among all types of dc current sensors, the magnetic modulator (fluxgate) is more suitable for measuring weak dc currents due to its low noise and high stability. As the most common type, the open-loop magnetic m...

The single‐phase‐to‐ground faulty line selection methods based on the signals of the frequency above 10 Hz has a low discrimination of fault characteristic signal and characteristic signal may be covered by noise in cases of high‐resistance fault. To solve the problem, a line selection method based on system's own extremely low frequency signal (SO...

... Another pertinent factor is the high-frequency oscillation overvoltage induced by the high dv/dt pulse voltage transient across windings [27,28]. Such overvoltage can attain up to 2 p. u. between winding layers [29], necessitating moderately larger insulation distances between layers and segments. ...
... The first fault can be considered as the transient equivalent circuit formed when switch S I in Figure 3 is closed at t = 0. Due to the extensive analysis of the transient characteristics of the first fault in previous studies [22][23][24][25], this paper does not revisit its features. Instead, the analysis in this paper concentrates exclusively on the characteristics of the secondary fault. ...
... Traditionally, the FG method (or zero-flux) of current/magnetic field sensing principle (Fig. 3) is different from other magnetic-core-based sensing schemes because its characteristic of saturation of the magnetic core plays a key role in detecting current [25]. Magnetic bar materials usually exhibit hysteresis curves and become saturated after a certain amount of current (or magnetic field) is applied. ...

Offline detection methods include dielectric loss factor test, partial discharge test, DC voltage test, AC voltage test, etc. Online monitoring methods include the DC superposition method, DC component method, AC superposition method, etc. [4][5][6]. All these methods are based on the detection of current and discharge phenomena caused by the electric field, which have two obvious shortcomings. ...

... Furthermore, the packing approach for electric meters is primarily determined by their geometric shape, with a certain quantity of electric meters sorted and loaded into turnover boxes, followed by subsequent loading onto corresponding vehicles using the first-in, last-out principle. Regrettably, this traditional electric meter distribution process does not take into account the unique characteristics of electric meters, including their type, size, stability, directionality, precision, and fragility [17]. ...

... Literature [15] proposes a method of charged assessment of metering error for voltage transformers, which uses open-close capacitance sensors and other auxiliary equipment to construct a new type of voltage transformer and use it as a physical standard, which is connected to the primary side of the transformer to be assessed through an insulated lifting device, thus realizing a short-term on-line assessment of the transformer and obtaining its metering error. In exploring the secondary load characteristics of the CVT metering error, literature [16] analyzes that when the load is increased from 30 VA to 40 VA, the VDR decreases to 0.04% and the phase deviation increases by 0.9133′. It has a significant impact on the measurement accuracy of CVT. ...
