“…The classical fault location algorithms were proposed in the 1980s [8][9][10]. After that, there appeared many fault location algorithms [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Transmission line fault location techniques can be mainly divided into three categories [11][12][13]: single-ended data method [8][9][10], dual-ended data method [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and traveling wave method [6,7] [20][21][22][23].…”

This paper presents a new fault location technique based on the fundamental frequency positive sequence fault components, featuring robustness to the operating state of the prefault system and fault path resistance. Using the fundamental frequency positive sequence fault components, the technique described in this paper does not require the user to know the fault phases and fault type in advance or use a line zero sequence parameter, which is not only difficult to obtain but is also affected by soil resistivity and thus may be variable. In addition, based on the fault components protection principle, the method is inherently unaffected by the operating state of the prefault system. Accurate transmission lines' fault location is important for expediting their repair or reducing outage times, so the proposed technique could improve the quality and security of the electricity supply. This paper describes the characteristics of the proposed technique and assesses its performance by using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation. © 2020 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

“…Fault diagnosis in the distribution system with DGs is also a crucial requirement for an operator to respond to fault situations quickly and accurately, in order to maintain the reliability of the power system. A literature review in the field of the fault-classification algorithms that have been developed in the past has been performed in this research [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The approach towards fault classification in the distribution system consists of DFIG-based wind power generation, which has been previously proposed.…”

This paper proposed a fault type classification algorithm in a distribution system consisting of multiple distributed generations (DGs). The study also discussed the changing of signal characteristics in the distribution system with DGs during the occurrence of different fault types. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)-based signal processing has been used to construct a classification algorithm and a decision tree to classify fault types. The input data for the algorithm is extracted from the three-phase current signal under normal conditions and during fault occurrence. These signals are recorded from the substation, load, and DG bus. The performance of the proposed classifying algorithm has been tested on a simulation system that was modeled after part of Thailand’s 22 kV distribution system, with a 2-MW wind power generation as the DG, connected to the distribution line by PSCAD software. The parameters that were taken into consideration consisted of the fault type, location of the fault, location of DG(s), and the number of DGs, to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm under various conditions. The result of the simulation indicated significant changes in current signal characteristics when installing DGs. In addition, the proposed algorithm has achieved a satisfactory accuracy in terms of identifying and classifying fault types when applied to a distribution system with multiple DGs.

“…In recent years, fault-location of series-compensated line has become a research focus [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Several fault-location algorithms of single-circuit series-compensated transmission line were proposed [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], and the fault-location of doublecircuit series-compensated line was studied in [22][23][24]. In [15,17], the impedance of the MOV is estimated through the impedance characteristic curve, and then the fault distance is estimated.…”

This paper proposes a new fault location algorithm to accurately locate the faults of seriescompensated double-circuit transmission line and improve the stability of power system operation, which is not affected by fault types. The proposed algorithm is based on asynchronous voltage and current at both ends of the line, the pre-fault voltage and current are used to synchronize time. The six-sequence component transformation is introduced, and with the help of the phase-sequence selection rule, the proposed algorithm eliminates the non-linear impedance of metal oxide varistor (MOV). Simultaneously, to confirm the robustness of the algorithm, different fault types, different fault initial angles and different fault resistances are taken into account in the system simulation. Not only that, the influence of series capacitors (SCs) installation positions, line parameter errors, different sampling rates and measurement errors are also tested. In general, the proposed fault-location algorithm has excellent performance. PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB are used in simulation studies, the results show that the maximum estimated error of faultlocation does not exceed 1.8631%.
