Description:
THREE-PHASE CIRCUIT BREAKER SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING FAULTS IN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments herein generally relate to the field of circuit breakers, and more specifically to a three-phase circuit breaker system for predicting faults in electrical appliances using artificial intelligence for controlling the energy consumption of electrical appliances. Also, the three-phase circuit breaker system is integrated into a smart miniature circuit (Smart MCB).

Description of the Related Art

[0002] The existing conventional circuit breaker has the circuit breaking capability upon detecting the abnormal electrical values. One of the existing energy management solutions include providing a utility meter with the circuit breaker panel for monitoring the energy consumption for very limited electrical parameters like units consumed on a monthly basis which are displayed on the electricity bill, but still, the user does not have the clarity in detail for the operational state of switchgear and appliance in the house. Under such a situation, the user installs another energy monitoring meter/device/multiple sensors connected at one unit on the main line giving detailed insights on the basic electrical consumption. But for such installation, the user needs to hire an experienced technician to do the retro-fitting job. For such installation, the user may have to either shift, replace or make additional arrangements to get the monitoring device fitted in the existing breaker/distribution panel. In the case of devices having multiple sensors for monitoring, the congestion inside the breaker panel increases, which can impact the performance of other appliances. Increased wiring inside the panel may insert physical pressure on other switchgears and also lead to an increase in the temperature above the defined limit. This group would incur additional costs for installation, shifting, replacement, additional wires and accessories over the existing switchgear in addition to the cost spent for the energy monitoring device. Another existing energy management solution includes installing an energy monitoring device which includes a plurality of sensors to capture the electrical consumption like smart plugs that don't need any retro-fits but have to be installed in proximity to the individual appliance and far away from the circuit breaker panel. Such sensors/devices are connected to electrical outlets where the loads are connected. This group of energy monitoring requires multiple such sensors to be installed at every outlet. Such devices have limitations on electrical ratings for normal appliance use only and cannot be connected to heavy appliances or the appliances directly drawing the power from the breaker panel. Installation of multiple devices may lead to additional costs and time to set up every plug. Also, such multiple devices need to be connected to Wi-Fi which may reduce the bandwidth for other devices. In case the devices are connected to a local network, then accessing the information would be difficult if the user is out of the network radius/range or far away from the monitoring devices. The conventional circuit breakers are not capable of utilizing the data for the amount of current flowing through the breaker or the electrical events occurring on the circuit breaker. The conventional circuit breakers are made/manufactured to perform the circuit breaking/tripping functionality only upon detecting an abnormal change in the current values. The conventional circuit breakers are completely inefficient or underutilized when it comes to detection of appliances connected to an individual phase. There is always a need to install a separate energy monitoring system in identifying the irregularity of the electrical load connected, and the health status of the appliance connected to each phase. The user becomes aware of the uneven load condition, and health of the appliances only when the appliance level or complete electrical breakdown occurs or an increase in electricity bills. To have clarity on the appliance health status or the electrical wiring user needs to get the electrical audit done which includes an additional expenditure for auditing and servicing of the faulty electrical system/appliances. Slightly advanced circuit breakers are equipped with Wi-Fi- enabled electrical relay circuitry categorized under an automation system to protect and control the on and off state of the electrical circuit breaker. But the major drawback of relay-equipped circuit breakers in automation systems is that the relay could give false / misfire under various electrical conditions that could break the circuit. For example, the harmonics can impact the operation of a protective relay and the reason for tripping the circuit could be inexplicit.

[0003] Further, appliance users are unable to monitor the state of appliances and their internal components even after the MCB is in a live (conducting) state all the time. Symptoms, if any, become observable only when there is a breakdown or a critical issue. Load distribution inside the homes is uneven most of the time which can lead to major hazards like phase imbalance in voltage which Inverter and UPS have low efficiency from unbalance voltage and creates more harmonic current in the power system, appliance damage, phase blackouts. Any large singlephase load, or a number of small loads connected to only one phase causes more current to flow from that particular phase causing voltage drop on line. Unbalancing increases I2R losses in the cable. The unequal distribution of loads between the three phases of the system causes the flow of unbalanced currents in the system that produce unbalanced voltage drops on the electric lines. This increase in neutral current causes line losses. The unbalanced Voltage always causes extra power loss in the system. The higher the voltage unbalance is the more power is dissipated means higher power bills. The imbalance of current will increase the I2R Losses. Also, the current through the neutral conductor is a combination of the unbalanced loading effects and the nonlinear characteristics of the load. Unbalance in any of the two factors greatly affects the value of neutral conductor current. An electrical power system is supposed to operate in a balanced three-phase condition. However, unbalance is a common fact in the distribution system supplying three-phase or single-phase asymmetric loads. As a result, electrical networks are normally unbalanced, and a certain degree of imbalance is there. In such a situation when non-linear loads are connected line to neutral, the neutral conductor carries a surprising level of current, even though the loads are balanced in the three phases.

[0004] Unbalanced current and nonlinear loads produce increased neutral-ground voltage and neutral current in the neutral conductor. The high neutral voltage causes significant disruption to the operation of microprocessor-based equipment and fragmentation of hard disks which eventually has detrimental effects on appliance performance. The loss in the neutral wire can be considerable and may result in overloading due to the unbalanced loads and the zerosequence currents from non-linear loads. Nonlinear loads do not draw current sinusoidally from the utility. Examples of non-linear loads include VFDs, LED lighting, photocopiers, computers, uninterruptible power supplies, televisions, and the majority of electronics that include a power supply. Nonlinear loads generate odd harmonics. The troublesome harmonics for loads are the 3rd and odd multiples of the 3rd (9th, 15th, etc.). These harmonics are called “triplens' ' and because the 3 -phase triplen harmonics are all in phase with each other. They will add rather than cancel on the neutral conductor of a 3 -phase 4-wire system. This can overload the neutral conductor. An important way to check for harmonic currents is to measure the current in the neutral of a 3 -phase 4-wire system. If the neutral current is considerably higher than the value predicted from the imbalance in the phase currents, there is a good possibility of a heavy presence of triplen harmonics. Some of the problems that may be encountered due to a high level of harmonics are: Premature failure and reduced lifespan of devices often occur when overheating is present, such as: Overheating of transformers, cables, circuit breakers and fuses, unstable operation of sensitive electronics that require a pure sinusoidal AC waveform, flickering lights. Additionally, triplen harmonics cause circulating currents on the delta winding of a delta-wye transformer configuration. When current triplen harmonics on the neutral of a 3 -phase 4-wire system reach the transformer, they are reflected to the delta-connected primary where they circulate. The result is transformer heating similar to that produced by an unbalanced 3-phase current. Economic issues caused by harmonic distortion include the upfront cost of either sizing equipment to handle harmonics, or investing in harmonic mitigation in the first place, Secondly, day-to-day added costs due to the inefficiency of the system and costs due to premature failure of equipment.

[0005] Users are generally not aware of the consumption of always-ON appliances like doorbells, Wi-Fi routers, and CCTV cameras. They either have to plug in an additional sensor to monitor the energy consumption for each appliance or power off all appliances except the one to be monitored. The normal appliance detection is done using NIALM which focuses on using the total energy consumed by the house to extract the energy consumed by individual appliances like AC, geyser, Fridge, etc. Hence all the individual appliances running in the house at that particular instance are taken into consideration for finding energy consumed by any specific appliance. This decreases the detection accuracy of energy consumed by a particular appliance at any given time and also increases the numerical computations required to identify a particular appliance, as it's being searched for throughout the day. The predicted energy consumed by NIEM models always has a margin of error, due to random noise in the input signature and also because no models are 100% accurate. This leads to the wrong detection of appliances and the energy consumed by them is also not accurate. [0006] Therefore, there arises a need to address the aforementioned technical drawbacks in existing technologies for an artificial intelligence-enabled three-phase circuit breaker system.

In Fig. 3B, a R phase was completely discarded as relevant electrical appliances were not present in that the specific phase. The phase filtering increases an accuracy by up to 28.56%. Also, as the specific electrical appliance is searched for only in the specific phase, it decreases the compute required by up to 66% which enables users with a more accurate appliance breakdown. The phase filtering module 206 decreases the inaccuracy in appliance energy detection by up to 66% by searching for the electrical appliance in the specific phase performed.

The phase filtering module 206 filters the phase level electric consumption data of the different appliances, for example, the AC was triggered in the R phase in the database 202, the AC phase is also specified as the R phase. Therefore, the AC will be processed in the R phase. The washing machine was triggered in the R phase, but in the database 202, the washing machine is specified in the Y phase. The washing machine will be discarded from further processing because the phase mentioned in the database 202 does not match the triggered phase.

The three-phase circuit breaker system 100 utilizes the electrical phase values from the smart MCB (102), more specifically the neutral values under normal and abnormal conditions, variable load conditions that helps in identifying the generation of harmonics. To analyze the source of harmonics on the appliance level, the electrical values captured in real-time over a period are analyzed with the appliance signatures or the load signatures for the respective time slot of data captured. The three-phase circuit breaker system 100 utilizes health monitoring algorithms to capture the electrical values and signatures of the appliances that are compared with the reference / ideal values, unexpected changes in the appliance signatures are captured over time which help in early identifying the breakdown symptoms of the appliances.

[0075] In some embodiments, the lowest consumption point of the entire day is determined. The lowest consumption point represents the minimum watts of energy consumed throughout the day, which is the sum of energy consumed by all the appliances which remain ON throughout the day. The lowest consumption Watt is then interpolated to get the energy consumed by always active appliances like cameras, doorbell, Wi-Fi, etc.

[0076] In an example implementation, a negative effects of voltage unbalance on a three phase Induction motor are studied by Simulation results of MATLAB Simulink. A percentage increase in motor losses and heating for various levels of voltage unbalance as per NEMA standard is observed. Equation 1C - % unbalance = (Maximum deviation from the average value/ average values) * 100. For example: Voltages R =227; Y =215; B =221. Average Value = (227+215+221) / 3 = 221v; so, the Maximum deviation from the average value = 221-215 = 6V. % Voltage unbalance = (6 / 221) * 100 = 2.7 %. Temperature rise: T% of voltage unbalance is expected to create a temperature rise of 2*T A 2 % = 2* 2.7 A 2 = 14.58% from nameplate rating which can decrease the lifetime of appliances.

[0077] The three-phase circuit breaker system 100 provides the users with more knowledge and transparency on the overall electrical consumption of their appliances and the health state of the key appliance without deploying additional/multiple sensors inside the circuit breaker panel, or on electrical outlets/sockets, without any need for a separate audit to check appliance heath. In some cases, if the appliance goes faulty or works abnormally, the user has no idea where the fault occurred and what are the possible causes and solutions for the incident. For example, if the refrigerator operates abnormally, the technician may service the appliance by refilling the coolant which might not be the correct solution for which the user has to pay the service charge. Here, the users will be able to access the data remotely and take necessary control actions to save on electricity and other expenditures needed to rectify the appliance faults. The three-phase circuit breaker system 100 avoids retro-fits. The three-phase circuit breaker system 100 is capable of handling multiple functionalities and gives the user an option to seamlessly fit the hardware without needing to make additional space for the installation of an energy monitor.

[0078] The three-phase circuit breaker system 100 may be implemented using a static type of current sensors/hall effect IC / shunt-based measurement along with additional components like voltage stabilization, filters, pullup resistors, and supply component. The desired digital output converted is equivalent to the sensed current value which is then given to the microcontroller.
