This paper deals with the fault location on high voltage series compensated lines. A new approach to evaluate the fault distance is proposed. The distributed-parameter line equations are preferred to describe the overhead lines. The algorithm uses two-terminal measurements, but those data do not require synchronization. No information on the fault resistance value and on the fault type is necessary. Numerical tests with time-domain sampled measurements are carried out. The simulations are performed using EMTP-ATP. Results for various fault resistance and fault distance values, and fault type conditions, are reported.
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.
