High impedance fault(HIF) is random in its behavior even in a similar environment. The detection of Ire HIF has focused on the development of algorithms based on harmonic, parameters of the arc currents. However, a fact that proper selection of the harmonic parameters, rather than algorithm selection, is more important is shown in this paper by applying three different performance evaluation methods on two HIF detection algorithms using eight harmonic parameters.

In this paper we proposes a scheme which can improve the detecting capability of the high impedance fault of the conventional distance relaying. It utilizes the directional ground overcurrent relay called HIFR together with the distance relay in order to secure the security and selectivity.

This paper presents classification of high impedance fault pattern using linear prediction coefficients. A feature of neutral phase current is extracted by the linear predictive coding. This feature is classified into faults by a multilayer perceptron neural network. Neural network successfully classifies test data into three faults and one normal state.

This paper proposes an enhanced noise robust algorithm for fault location on double-circuit transmission line for the case of single line-to-ground (SLG) fault, which uses distributed parameter line model that also considers the mutual coupling effect. The proposed algorithm requires the voltages and currents from single-terminal data only and does not require adjacent circuit current data. The fault distance can be simply determined by solving a second-order polynomial equation, which is achieved directly through the analysis of the circuit. The algorithm, which employs the faulted phase network and zero-sequence network with source impedance involved, effectively eliminates the effect of load flow and fault resistance on the accuracy of fault location. The proposed algorithm is tested using MATLAB/Simulink under different fault locations and shows high accuracy. The uncertainty of source impedance and the measurement errors are also included in the simulation and shows that the algorithm has high robustness.

This paper describes the correction strategy of an overcurrent relay applied in the linked line for interconnecting wind farm with utility power networks in order to improve the capability of a fault detection. The fault current measured in a relaying point might vary according to the fault conditions. Generally, the current of the line to line fault or the line to ground fault in the linked line is much higher than the set value of protective relay due to the large fault level. However, when the high impedance fault occurs in the linked line, we can't detect it by conventional set value because its fault level may be lower than the generating capacity of wind farm. And, the protective relay with conventional set value may generate a trip signal for the insertion of wind turbine generators due to the large transient characteristics. In order to solve above problems and improve protective relaying algorithms applied in the linked line, we propose a new correction strategy of the protective relay in the linked line. The presented method can detect the high impedance fault which can't be detected by conventional relay set value and may prevent the mis-operation of protective relay caused by the insertion of wind farm.

Arc Fault Current is an electric discharge which is occurred in two opposite electrode. In this Paper, arc current control algorithm is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which is occurred in the low voltage network. This arc Is one of the main causes of electric fire. Arc fault in electrical network has the characteristics of low current, high impedance and high frequency. Conventional control algorithm does not have the arc current interrupt function. Hence, Control algorithm of arc current is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which has the modified arc characteristics.

An enhancement for a transmission and substation equipment in power system make the system impedance to be lower. In principle, if the system impedance become low, system stability will be better, but the fault current become very higher. It is a very big problem for CB operating. As a fact of CB operating performance, high amplitude of the fault current may cause CB operation failure because of exceeding standard value in TRV. So we simulated TRV by using the EMTP. Generally there are two types of TRV in actual power system. One is short line fault, the other is bus terminal fault. In this paper, we simulated the TRv at short line fault as installed current limit reactors to reduce fault current in 345kV ultra-high voltage system. Short line fault is caused from single line fault in transmission line.

High impedance fault (HIF) is defined as fault the general overcurrent relay can not detect or interrupt. Especially when HIF occur in residential areas, energized high voltage conductor results in fire hazard, equiment damage or personal threat. This paper proposes the model of HIF in transmission line using the ZnO arrester and resistance to be implemented within EMTP. Wavelet transform is efficient and useful for the detection of HIF in power system, because it uses variable windows according to frequency. HIF detection method using wavelet transform can distinguish HIF from similar phenomena like arcfurance load, capacitor bank switching and line switching.

The research presented in this paper focuses on a method for the detection of High Impedance Fault(HIF). The method will use the Lifting and neural network system. HIF on the multi-grounded three-phase four-wires primary distribution power system cannot be detected effectively by existing over current sensing devices. These paper describes the application of lifting scheme to the various HIF data. These data were measured in actual 22.9kV distribution system. Wavelet transform analysis gives the frequency and time-scale information. The neural network system as a fault detector was trained to discriminate HIF from the normal status by a gradient descent method. The proposed method performed very well by proving the right state when it was applied staged fault data and normal load mimics HIF, such as arc-welder.
