This study proposes an intelligent traveling-wave (TW)-based protection algorithm for parallel transmission lines. In the proposed algorithm, Karenbauer's phase to modal transform is applied on three phase current signals. Teager energy operator is then applied on the modal components to extract TWs. First extracted TW of each modal component along with well-designed fuzzy systems are used for internal fault identification and fault type classification. In order to find the fault location, the time difference between the first and the second TWs and the TW propagation speed are utilised. Test signals are generated in PSCAD/EMTDC software and the algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. Results show that the proposed algorithm is an ultra-high-speed algorithm for the reliable protection of parallel transmission lines.
A novel traveling-wave (TW)-based protection algorithm for power transmission lines using intelligent systems is proposed in this paper. The first part of the algorithm identifies internal faults from external ones and the other part is used for fault type classification and faulted phases selection. In order to extract TW signals, Teagerenergyoperator (TEO) is used. Then hidden Markov model (HMM) is utilized to identify internal faults from external faults according to the output of TEO. Fault type classification and faulted phases selection are other important tasks in protection algorithms. In this paper, a very accurate and robust classification algorithm based on fuzzy systems is presented. This algorithm uses different ratios of modal components of the faulted current signal as the input variable of fuzzy systems. The test system is simulated in PSCAD software and the algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. Testing the proposed algorithm with a large number of test signals in different fault conditions shows the robustness of both internal fault identification and fault type classification algorithms.
