In the article, the problems, connected with reflectometric fault points definition and points of obstacles occurrence on power transmission lines, are considered. The method based on reflectogram comparison is considered. The authors show that this method does not always give good results. It is connected with change in time of physical parameters of the supervised line. Using adaptation of the current reflectogram to an exemplary one by means of time scaling is preferable. For the implementation of scaling, the reflectogram should be in a continuous form, but the taken reflectogram is presented in a discrete form. Therefore, the authors offered to apply piecewise and linear interpolation to obtain the current reflectogram in a continuous form. Scaling is carried out by changing the scaling coefficient by one of the known algorithms of optimization. Due to the exact combination of exemplary and scaled current reflectogram, it is possible to increase efficiency of the reflectogram comparison method.
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.
