Current Transformer Saturation Detection Using Gaussian Mixture Models

AbstractThis paper presents a novel current transformer (CT) saturation detection approach based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). High accuracy is the advantage of this method. GMMs are trained with secondary current of CT. The appropriate performance of the proposed method is tested by simulation of different fault conditions in PSCAD/EMTDC software. The results show that the trained GMMs can successfully detect CT saturation with high accuracy
