==IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO PROTECTION CIRCUITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022066 titled 'IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO PROTECTION CIRCUITS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a protection circuit for a high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission network. The circuit includes multiple sets of sensors that define different protection zones. A controller is programmed to evaluate sensor information to determine if a fault has occurred within a protection zone. If a sensor fails, the controller dynamically reconfigures the affected protection zone by including a sensor from another zone.

* The protection circuit is designed to safeguard a HVDC power transmission network.
* Multiple sets of sensors are used to define different protection zones.
* A controller is programmed to analyze sensor information and detect faults within a protection zone.
* If a sensor fails, the controller dynamically reconfigures the affected protection zone by including a sensor from another zone.

Potential Applications:
* High voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission networks
* Power distribution systems
* Renewable energy systems

Problems Solved:
* Ensures the protection of a HVDC power transmission network by detecting faults within specific zones.
* Provides a dynamic reconfiguration mechanism to maintain protection even if a sensor fails.

Benefits:
* Enhances the reliability and safety of HVDC power transmission networks.
* Reduces the risk of damage or failure due to faults within the network.
* Enables continuous monitoring and protection of different zones within the network.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a protection circuit, for protecting a whole or part of a hvdc power transmission network, includes a number of sets of sensors, each of which set defines a respective protection zone. the protection circuit also includes a controller that is programmed to evaluate sensor information received from the sensors to determine whether a fault has occurred within a protection zone. the controller is further programmed, in the event of a sensor in a protection zone failing, to dynamically reconfigure the affected protection zone by including a sensor from another protection zone.
