Title: Monitoring faults in an electrical substation using acoustic sensors
Inventor: YARDIBI TARIK
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 2012-06-21
Abstract: A fault monitoring system for an electrical substation includes one or more arrays 52 of acoustic sensors, such as microphones, placed around a substation boundary and configured to measure acoustic pressure waves. Processing circuitry in the fault monitoring system localizes and identifies faults in the substation, and a beam forming module provides enhanced acoustic pressure waves by eliminating background noise and interfering noise from the acoustic pressure waves. A component signature classification module compares the enhanced acoustic pressure waves with component signatures to classify the acoustic pressure waves into various events to detect faults in the electrical substation. Faults may be located by time difference of arrival, triangulation or subspace adaptive localization. The beam forming may be by an algorithm selected from: delay-and-sum, linearly constrained minimum variance LCMV, time domain generalized sidelobe canceller TD-GSC, frequency domain generalized sidelobe canceller FD-GSC, or robust generalized sidelobe canceller R-GSC algorithms.

Title: Method, apparatus and computer program for transmitting and/or receiving signals
Inventor: HUOMO HEIKKI
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 2013-04-16
Abstract: Conventional power line communication systems modulate a high frequency carrier, which is superimposed on an electric power grid with a far lower frequency, e.g. 50Hz.

It is used to transmit a data signal form a transmission device 118 associated with a power device 119, which consumes or provides power to the grid 100. The data is received by a receiver 120 which measures a characteristic relating to a frequency of electricity flowing in the electric power grid, and extracts the data signal based on the measured characteristic. The transmission device may include a power flow modulator arranged to modulate power flow on the basis of a sequence of control signals, thereby provide a corresponding frequency modulation to the grid frequency. The data signals may include identifiers to identify the source or/and intended destination of the data transmission. The receiving device may be provided with a second communications interface, such as a wireless communications interface.
