Abstract: This paper presents a wavelet fuzzy based protection scheme for a three terminal transmission system, makes use of current signals at three ends of transmission line which are synchronized with the help of global position system clock. A wavelet based multi resolution analysis is used to find the detailed coefficients of the signals which are utilized to calculate fault index. These fault indices are compared with the threshold value to detect and classify faults on transmission system. The approximate decomposition of current signals is utilized to locate the fault using fuzzy logic from their respective terminals. The proposed algorithm has been tested successfully for various faults at different locations.

TL;DR: DWT and DNN are utilised for fault location in a series-compensated three-terminal transmission line and the efficiency of algorithm is validated for symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults, and different values of fault resistance, inception angle, and location.
Abstract: In this study, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and deep neural network (DNN) are utilised for fault location in a series-compensated three-terminal transmission line. The series compensation causes challenges in fault location schemes of the three-terminal transmission lines. The presented fault location method has been extensively tested using the SIMULINK model of a three-terminal transmission line. Features extracted from synchronous measurements of fault currents at the three terminals using DWT are fed to the DNN. Faulted section determination and fault distance calculation are carried out using a single intelligent network simultaneously. Faulted section is determined with 100% accuracy, and the efficiency of algorithm is validated for symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults, and different values of fault resistance, inception angle, and location. The accuracy of the algorithm is acceptable for large fault resistances (above 100 Ω) and fault inception angles near zero. Total mean error for test data is 0.0458% which is much improved with respect to other similar works.

TL;DR: The proposed technique is validated during different multi location and transforming phase to ground faults with wide variations in fault resistance and fault inception angle and proves that the fault location method is correct and accurate.
Abstract: The faults occurring in different phases at multiple locations and different times are difficult to locate exact location using conventional techniques. This paper develops a fault location estimation approach using fuzzy inference system for multi location phase to ground faults and transforming phase to ground faults in six phase transmission (SPT) line. The six phase current data of SPT line are generated by MATLAB software and processed through butter worth filter, sampling and discrete fourier transform for distance locator. The proposed technique is dependent on single terminal data only. Mamdani fuzzy inference system is employed to make decision. Triangular membership functions are used to design input-output fuzzy sets. Fuzzy inference system has been deployed for the fault distance location using IF-THEN rules. The proposed technique is validated during different multi location and transforming phase to ground faults with wide variations in fault resistance and fault inception angle. Simulations and calculations with MATLAB prove that the fault location method is correct and accurate.

TL;DR: This paper presents the fault detection and classification for shunt faults on transmission lines with Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) using fuzzy logic, which is able to detect and classify the faults for varying fault resistances and fault distances from the relaying point.
Abstract: This paper presents the fault detection and classification for shunt faults on transmission lines with Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) using fuzzy logic. The fuzzy logic is implemented by using the fuzzy logic toolbox in MATLAB. The 500kV, 60Hz system is simulated using simulink and simpower systems toolbox in MATLAB. The proposed method uses only the three phase currents for fault detection and classification of faulted phase. The system is simulated for various shunt faults with different fault resistances and with different fault locations between 10 percent and 90 percent of the transmission line. The results from the simulation show that fuzzy logic based fault detector and classifier accurately detects and classifies the faults on transmission system. The proposed method is able to detect and classify the faults for varying fault resistances and fault distances from the relaying point.

TL;DR: In this article, a traveling-wave-based method for fault classification and localization for three-terminal power transmission systems is presented, where the discrete wavelet transform is utilized to extract transient information from the recorded voltages.
Abstract: This paper presents a traveling-wave-based method for fault classification and localization for three-terminal power transmission systems. In the proposed method, the discrete wavelet transform is utilized to extract transient information from the recorded voltages. Support-vector-machine classifiers are then used to classify the fault type and faulty line/half in the transmission networks. Bewley diagrams are observed for the traveling-wave patterns and the wavelet coefficients of the aerial mode voltage are used to locate the fault. Alternate Transients Program software is used for transients simulations. The performance of the method is tested for different fault inception angles, different fault resistances, nonlinear high impedance faults, and nontypical faults with satisfactory results.

TL;DR: In this article, two new fault point location algorithms are proposed for parallel double-circuit multi-terminal transmission lines by using voltages and currents information from CCVTs and CTs at all terminals.
Abstract: Two new methods are proposed for fault point location in parallel double-circuit multi-terminal transmission lines by using voltages and currents information from CCVTs and CTs at all terminal. These algorithms take advantage of the fact that the sum of currents flowing into a fault section equals the sum of the currents at all terminals. Algorithm 1 employs an impedance calculation and algorithm 2 employs the current diversion ratio method. Computer simulations are carried out and applications of the proposed methods are discussed. Both algorithms can be applied to all types of fault such as phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase faults. As one equation can be used for all types of fault, classification of fault types and selection of faulted phase are not required. Phase components of the line impedance are used directly, so compensation of unbalanced line impedance is not required.

TL;DR: The authors propose a novel fault location algorithm for multiterminal parallel transmission lines that uses the same AC inputs as protective relays and uses only the magnitude of the differential currents at each terminal to simplify the H/W and S/W configurations of a fault locator.
Abstract: The authors propose a novel fault location algorithm for multiterminal parallel transmission lines. The proposed method uses the same AC inputs as protective relays and uses only the magnitude of the differential currents at each terminal. This makes it possible to simplify the H/W and S/W configurations of a fault locator since it is not required to synchronously collect the differential current data at each terminal. This algorithm consists of a basic three-terminal fault location algorithm and equivalent conversion to a three-terminal system from an n-terminal system. For a multifault occurring simultaneously at the same place on both lines as well as a single fault occurring at one place on one of the two lines, this algorithm is reasonably accurate. This was verified mathematically and examined by EMTP simulation. >
