B. Lian et Mma. Salama, AN OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL FAULT LOCATION ALGORITHMS FOR POWER TRANSMISSION-LINES USING TRANSIENT WAVE-FORMS, Electric power systems research, 29(1), 1994, pp. 17-25
A digital fault location algorithm for calculating the fault distance
on a power transmission line can be designed using any of three approa
ches: the steady-state phasor approach, the differential equation appr
oach and the travelling-wave approach. In this paper, the algorithms u
tilizing the differential equation and the travelling-wave approach ar
e reviewed. The effect of various algorithms on the relay speed and ac
curacy is examined. The associated filtering techniques are discussed.
