MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631051469 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Kalyani, West Bengal, on April 22, for 'cloud-integrated adaptive protection relay for intelligent fault detection and trip decision.'
Inventor(s) include Partha Das; Biswamoy Pal; Milan Sasmal; Agnik Kundu; Sayan Ghoai; and Animesh Halder.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the field of power system protection, intelligent grid monitoring, and adaptive control of electrical networks, with a particular emphasis on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud-based computational frameworks into relay protection systems. More specifically, the innovation addresses the limitations of conventional overcurrent and distance relays by introducing a cloud-assisted adaptive protection architecture capable of dynamically adjusting relay settings based on real-time system conditions, forecasted disturbances, and learned fault behavior patterns. The invention lies at the intersection of smart grid technologies, machine learning-driven decision systems, digital substations, and wide-area protection schemes, enabling rapid, reliable, and self-optimizing protection actions. The field further encompasses the development of data-driven fault classification, automatic severity estimation, adaptive relay coordination, and dynamic threshold generation using cloud analytics. The innovation leverages real-time and historical grid measurements, such as phasor data, synchrophasor streams, relay event logs, and voltage/current waveforms, to produce a protection mechanism that is both situationally aware and self-learning. The invention contributes to the broader domain of cyber-physical energy systems, advanced distribution automation, and resilient protection mechanisms for modern power grids, microgrids, and renewable-rich electrical systems."
