Traveling-Wave-Based Fault Location in Electrical Distribution Systems with Digital Simulations
Abstract: Traveling-wave-based
fault location in electrical distribution systems is an important safeguard for
the distribution network reliability. The effectiveness of the methods is
verified directly in power grid in the early stages, while different fault
types can't appear in a short time. And normal dynamic physical simulation
cannot meet the teaching demand either because of the limitation of
transmission line model and other factors. So PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB are used
to illustrate the the fault location methods in this paper, which can promote
the traveling-wave-based fault-location technology. Meanwhile, the traveling-wave-based
fault-location method based on characteristic frequencies is analyzed in this
paper.
