“…Various applications of neural networks were used in the past to improve some of the standard functions used in protection of transmission lines. They have been related to fault classification [3]- [9], fault direction discrimination [10]- [12], fault section estimation [8], [13], [14], adaptive relaying [15], [16], autoreclosing [17], [18], and fault diagnosis [19], [20]. The applications are mainly based on widely used Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) feed-forward networks [1]- [8], [11], [13], [15], [17]- [19], [21], and in recent years on Radial Basis Function (RBF) [5], [6], [9], [14], [22], Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) [5], [16], [23], Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) [5], [23], Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) [20], [24], Recurrent [12], [25], Counterpropagation [5], [26], and Finite Impulse Response neural networks [10], [27].…”
