When a fault occurs, it is imperative to restrict the impact of outages to a minimum. First identification is fault diagnosis in power system. A high level of power quality is obtained via diagnostic software Online accesses the status of network.

Decentralized fault diagnosis approach for power substations can be integrated in SCADA systems Handle failure of communication links between the host computer and RTUs. The main contributions include:

Providing a procedure to realize hardware based fault diagnosis system for power substations. Proposing a decentralized fault diagnosis framework Allowing the fault diagnosis function to be integrated in SCADA.

Two types of faults mainly occur:1.

Hardware faults
Actuator faults Interface failure Controller hardware faults

2.

Software faults
Execution failure Programming errors Poor tunings

A fault can cause a large no of alarm messages in a short period of time in power SCADA system. This will impose heavy stress on dispatchers and hamper for their decisionmaking during the process.

An FPGA is a matrix of configurable logic blocks, linked to each other by an interconnection network. Completely reprogrammable on siliconchip. It can implement the fault diagnosis function, which is more flexible. Computing tasks of fault diagnosis algorithms in software can then be transformed down to a configuration file.

There are two types of CPU cores for FPGA design: 1. Hard Core 2. Soft Core The 32-b soft core Nios II, developed by Altera Corporation, is adopted to create an FPGA-based system-on-a-chip design. This soft core controls the work of the circuit and performs some calculations, while the other parts of the circuit are responsible for parallel processing.

can be incorporated in the power substations. It enhances the fault diagnostic capability of the power substations. After hardware implementation no power disturbances produced.
