    Compared to other primary equipments such as busbars, lines, and circuit breakers, transformers have a more complex structure and are the only equipment in the power system that connect different voltage levels. In addition, the influence of the Y/D transform makes the fault characteristics complex and variable, making it difficult to locate the fault point. The fault localization depends on the experience of the engineer. There is an urgent need for a complete automated fault location system. This article first classifies the possible situations that may cause transformer protection starting or tripping, and then sets fault localization criterion step by step. The criterion greatly enhances the automation level of transformer fault localization and has good engineering implementation value. The feasibility and accuracy of this method are proved through multiple sets of simulation waveforms.

    This paper compares the advantages and disadvantages of closed water cooling systems and open water cooling systems in terms of heat transfer efficiency, footprint, water consumption, and cost. The heat transfer capacity, site environmental conditions, inlet temperature of the phase modulator heat exchanger, and other requirements are taken into account for installing a phase modulator at a certain converter station, as well as the economic investment and operational factors. It is ultimately determined that the external water cooling system for the phase modulator at the converter station adopts an open water cooling scheme. The design scheme of external cooling system for the phase modulator is given in this paper, hoping to provide reference for the selection and design of the external cooling system for phase modulator in subsequent projects.

    To fully exert the advantages of the convolutional neural network (CNN) in image recognition and classification, a fault diagnosis method for four-quadrant pulse rectifiers based on CNN and Gramian angular difference field (GADF) is proposed. GADF is utilized to transform the one-dimensional time series of rectifier current into a two-dimensional feature map, preserving the temporal dependency of the data and identifying the temporal correlations of the signal over different time intervals. The CNN then extracts and classifies the features of open circuit faults in the rectifier from the generated feature maps. This method is compared with other common fault diagnosis methods. Simulation analysis results indicate that this proposed method achieves higher diagnostic accuracy compared to other fault diagnosis methods.

    Ultra-high voltage AC power system usually uses standard lightning current parameters to calculate external overvoltage, and lightning observation data show that more than 80% of the lightning process is multiple lightning strikes, which is significantly different from the standard recommended waveform. Under the background of frequent multiple lightning accidents in ultra-high voltage AC system, it is urgent to put forward a rigorous and scientific evaluation method of multiple lightning parameters. Therefore, this paper takes a 500kV AC ultra-high voltage transmission system as the object, and proposes a multiple lightning current waveform parameter evaluation method considering the transient characteristics of the line from the extreme lightning conditions and the actual fault recording. The analysis shows that the fault recording inversion method can characterize the real multiple lightning strikes. Extreme multiple lightning strikes method analyzes the lightning current parameters under harsh conditions from the lightning resistance level of the cable. The waveform parameter evaluation method proposed in this paper provides a technical scheme for overvoltage analysis of ultr-high voltage transmission system in lightning-prone areas.
