Advanced Algorithms
Advancing Fault Detection in Modern Distribution Networks
As electrical distribution networks evolve—especially with the growing integration of distributed generation—traditional fault detection methods are becoming increasingly inadequate. Conventional protection systems often fail to effectively identify certain types of faults, particularly High Resistance Earth faults. Recognizing this challenge, the AIQ team embarked on a research initiative to develop more advanced and responsive algorithms capable of addressing these limitations.
Pioneering Advanced Solutions for Modern Power Network Protection
Applied IQ (AIQ) is a forward-thinking solutions provider dedicated to enhancing the reliability and intelligence of modern power distribution networks. Aware that traditional relays and fault location devices often fall short—especially with the complexities introduced by distributed generation—AIQ has focused its expertise on developing advanced protection technologies. In response to the challenges posed by High Resistance Earth faults, the team conducted in-depth research and engineered innovative algorithms, WSC and FIT, capable of detecting faults with resistance levels exceeding 10kΩ. This breakthrough underscores AIQ’s commitment to delivering smarter, more effective solutions for today’s evolving energy landscape.
