Updating current swell for each feeder is one of stage of fault localization considering impedance based method. Estimation formula was adopted based on impedance line and load value. This paper investigate the impact of single and paralel impedance load to the accuracy of current swell estimation in the each feeder. Three Phase to ground fault (LLLGF) was simulated using the PSCAD simulation program...
This paper presents a fault location technique for distribution systems. It is a two end impedance based technique that uses the fault generated transients to estimate the fault distance over a broad range of frequencies. Then, curve fitting is applied to find the final estimated fault distance. Firstly, the paper introduces the method for the system represented as a lumped RL model. Then, generalized...
Fast and accurate fault location is critical to restoration of the power system. Deployment of production grade Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) based on the latest IEEE C37.118.1 measurement standards using high-speed “P Class” data makes accurate fault location possible. Multi-terminal PMU data and decentralized PDC storage can easily be leveraged to not only obtain affordable and accurate fault location...
This paper proposes a fault-location method based on smart feeder meters with voltage sag monitoring capability. The main idea is to explore voltage measurements from monitors placed in different buses of distribution systems to estimate the fault location. The estimation is achieved by relating the voltage deviation measured by each meter to the fault current calculated based on the bus impedance...
A new fault location method for untransposed transmission lines with multiple derivations is presented in this article. It is based on pre-fault and post-fault voltage and current phasors, measured on steady-state at local and remote terminals, to determine the fault information, such as: the section of occurrence, the distance, i.e. the point of occurrence, and the resistance.
This paper presents an algorithm for locating faults on series-compensated transmission lines. The algorithm suits to both single- and double-circuit series-compensated lines. Use of two-end synchronized measurements of currents accomplished by current differential protective relays with additional incorporation of the locally measured three-phase voltage is considered. More superior solution with...
This paper presents the effects of Static Var Compensator (SVC), one of the shunt connected Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices, on the measured impedance at the relaying point in the case of inter phase, phase to phase and three phase, faults. The measured impedance at the relaying point is affected by several factors, including the line pre-fault loading, line structural...
This paper presents a general approach to locate any type of fault on either a single-circuit or a double-circuit transmission line when only current magnitude measurements are available. Emphasis is given to double-circuit line. The distinctive feature of the proposed fault location method is the current measurements employed can be from one or more branches, which are not restricted to those of...
This paper presents algorithms to locate faults on a double-circuit transmission line by utilizing sparse current measurements from one or two branches. The branch current is derived as an analytical function of the unknown fault location and fault resistance, and then the fault location can be obtained based on the measured branch currents. The zero-sequence mutual coupling between the two branches...
This paper is focused on the development of the new principles and operational algorithms of the transmission lines distance protection. The proposed distance protection algorithms utilize statistical information about the undefined and random parameters and quantities such as equivalent impedances of the systems at the unmonitored end of the power transmission line and current and voltage phasor...
The precision of impedance fault location algorithm is deteriorated by the extremely large shunt capacitance in UHV line. And the traditional improved ways are all invalid caused by the nonlinearity of measurement impedance in relay and the frequent variations of operation modes in UHV system. In response to this question, a novel impedance fault location algorithm is proposed for phase faults. It...
