This paper presents a fault location algorithm using current distribution factors for distribution feeder systems. When a fault occurs in distribution system, an accurate fault distance is important for fast fault restoration. The proposed algorithm achieves a high accuracy using negative sequence circuit with various fault conditions.

When a fault occurs on railway feeders it is very important to detect the fault to protect trains and facilities. Because a DC railway system has low feeder voltage, The fault current can be smaller than the current of load starting. So it is important to discriminate between the small fault current and the load starting current. The load starting current increases step by step but the fault current increases at one time. So the type of $\Delta$I/ relay(50F) was developed using the different characteristics between the load starting current and the fault current. The load starting current increases step by step so the time constant of each step is much smaller than that of the fault current. First, to detect faults in DC railway systems, an algorithm using the time constant calculated by the method of least squares is presented in this paper. If a fault occurs on DC railway systems it is necessary to find a fault location to repair the faulted system as soon as possible. The second aim of the paper is to calculate the accurate fault location using Kirchhoff's voltage law.

Unbalanced systems, such as distribution systems, have difficulties in fault locations due to single-phase laterals and loads. In this paper, a novel fault location algorithm is suggested for a line to line faults using inverse theorem of matrix on electric power lines. The fault location for balanced systems has been studied using the current distribution factor, by a conventional symmetrical transformation, but that for unbalanced systems has not been investigated due to their high complexity The proposed algorithms overcome the limit of the conventional algorithm using the conventional symmetrical transformation, which requires the balanced system and are applicable to any electric power system but are particularly useful for unbalanced distribution systems. The simulation results oriented by the real distribution system are presented to show its effectiveness and accuracy.

In this paper, an algorithm for fault location in Auto Transformer(AT) Feeding Railway system is presented. If a fault occurs at the AT feeding circuits of electrical railway system, it is very important to find fault location and to remove it immediately for the purpose of ensuring safety for transportation. Because the characteristics of reactance-distance are not linear, only using one terminal signals to give fault distance is difficult. In this paper, first, using the KVL, 4 voltage equation are obtained. Secondly, eliminating voltage a distance equation which consists of currents at rail and line parameters including mutual effects.

This paper describes an accurate fault location algorithm based on current distribution factors. To prove the effectiveness of proposed method, we used by simulation data from EMTP. The proposed algorithm using the current distribution factors is independent of fault resistance and load flow variation.

It is important to classily fault types, discriminate fault section and calculate the fault location by any detecting technique for combined transmission lines. This paper proposes the technique to classily the fault types and fault section using neuro-fuzzy systems. Neuro-fuzzy systems are composed of three parts to perform different works. First, neuro-fuzzy system for fault type classification is performed with approximation coefficient of currents obtained by wavelet transform. The second neuro-fuzzy system discriminates the fault section between overhead and underground with detail coefficients of voltage and current. The last neuro-fuzzy system calculates the fault location with impedance in this paper, neuro-furry system shows the excellent results for classification of fault types and discrimination of fault section.

In this paper, a fault location algorithm is presented, which uses novel signal processing techniques and takes a new paradigm to overcome some drawbacks of the conventional methods. This new method for fault location on electric power transmission lines uses only one-terminal fault signals. The main feature of the method is hat it uses the high frequency components in fault signal and considers the influence of the source network by using a traveling wave propagation characteristics. As a result, we can develop a high speed, good accuracy fault locator.

Fault location identification in the transmission line is an essential part of quick service restoration for maintaining a stable in power system. The application of digital schemes to protection IEDs has led to the development of digital fault locators. Normally, the impedance measurement had been used to for the location detection of transmission line faults. It is well known that the most accurate fault location scheme uses two-ended measurements. This paper deals with the complete design of a fault locator using GPS time-synchronized phasor for transmission line fault detection. The fault location algorithm uses the transmitted relaying signals from the two-ended terminal. The fault locator hardware consists of a Main Processor Unit, Analog Digital Processor Unit, Signal Interface Unit, and Power module. In this paper, sample real-time test cases using COMTRADE format of Omicron apparatus are included. We can see that the implemented fault locator identified all the test faults.

This paper presents a new two-terminal numerical algorithm for fault location estimation and for faults recognition using the synchronized phasor in time-domain. The proposed algorithm is also based on the synchronized voltage and current phasor measured from the PMUs(Phasor Measurement Units) installed at both ends of the transmission lines. Also the arc voltage wave shape is modeled numerically on the basis of a great number of arc voltage records obtained by transient recorder. From the calculated arc voltage amplitude it can make a decision whether the fault is permanent or transient. In this paper the algorithm is given and estimated using DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) and the LES(Least Error Squares Method). The algorithm uses a very short data window and enables fast fault detection and classification for real-time transmission line protection. To test the validity of the proposed algorithm, the Electro-Magnetic Transient Program(EMTP/ATP) and MATLAB is used.

This paper presents the real-time implemented distance relay algorithm which the fault distance is estimated with only local terminal information. When a single-phase-to-earth fault on a two-parallel transmission line occurs, the reach accuracy of distance relay is considerably affected by the unknown variables which are fault resistance, fault current at the fault point and zero- sequence current of sound line The zero-sequence current of sound line is estimated by using the zero sequence voltage which is measured by relaying location Also. the fault resistance is removed at the Process of numerical formula expansion. Lastly, the fault current through a fault point is expressed as a function of the zero-sequence current of fault line, zero-sequence current of sound line, and line, and fault distance. Therefore, the fault phase voltage can be expressed as the quadratic equation of the fault distance. The solution of this Quadratic equation is obtained by using a coefficient of the modified quadratic equation instead of using the square root solution method. After tile accurate fault distance is estimated. the mote accurate impedance is measured by using such an information.
