This study proposes an intelligent traveling-wave (TW)-based protection algorithm for parallel transmission lines. In the proposed algorithm, Karenbauer's phase to modal transform is applied on three phase current signals. Teager energy operator is then applied on the modal components to extract TWs. First extracted TW of each modal component along with well-designed fuzzy systems are used for internal fault identification and fault type classification. In order to find the fault location, the time difference between the first and the second TWs and the TW propagation speed are utilised. Test signals are generated in PSCAD/EMTDC software and the algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. Results show that the proposed algorithm is an ultra-high-speed algorithm for the reliable protection of parallel transmission lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
