Fault Detection, Protection and Location on Transmission Line. A Review

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Electrotechnology, grade: 1, Addis Ababa University (Addis Ababa Science and Technology University Addis Ababa, Ethiopia + Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University Istanbul, Turkey), language: English, abstract: Electrical power transmission systems suffer from unexpected failures due to various random causes. Un-predicted faults that occur in power systems are required to prevent from propagation to other area in the protective system. The functions of the protective systems are to detect, then classify and finally determine the location of the faulty. This paper presents some techniques that helps to find, determine and diagnosing faults in transmission line. Artificial neural networks, impedance measurement based methods, fuzzy expert method, wavelet transform and so on have been used to achieve fault identification and classification.This paper will review the type of fault that possibly occurs in an electric power system, the type of fault detection and location technique that are available together with the protection device that can be utilized in the power system to protect the equipment from electric fault.
