A Method for Fault detecting on Power Transmission Network by use of M-sequence Correlation

Monitoring a power transmission line is significant for power electric companies. In this paper, we propose a new method for detecting an fault point of power transmission line by use of M-sequence correlation technique. In this method, detecting signal is used as one or plural M-sequences ( same characteristic polynomial, including normal and reverse mark, synchronized ). In receiving point, we make same sequence with the input one and take crosscorrelation function between M-sequence and the received signal. We can see transfer fanctions of plural paths between inputs and a output taps separated from different of delay times on the crosscorrelation function, and from these transfer fanctions, so we compare them when fault occurred with in usual.
