This paper presents the improvement and application effect in fault restoration program based on distribution automation system(DAS) of KEPCO. When a fault occurs, fault restoration program can detect fault section based on FI information of DAS, and calculate the best restoration solution by comparing the load capacity of outage area and the spare load capacity of connected distribution lines, and propose switch operating procedure for fault section isolation and outage restoration. Fault restoration program was applied to real field and it was verified that this program is applicable to diverse field cases. By using this fault restoration program to the field human error can be reduced and fault procedure can be more reliable, accurate, and fast.

This paper describes a fault location technique using wavelets in underground transmission cable system Estimation of fault location is performed using data sampled at two ends of underground system. In the case of 50% fault of total underground transmission line, fault location is calculated using sampled single-end data in underground transmission line. Traveling wave is utilized in capturing the travel time of the transients along the monitored lines between the relay and the fault point. This travel time information is provided by the wavelet. Simulation was performed using EMTP. ATP Draw and MATLAB. The results of fault location shown in this paper will be evaluated as an effective suggestion for fault to location in real underground transmission line.

During a ground fault the maximum fault current and neutral to ground voltage will appear at the pole nearest to the fault. Distribution lines are consisted of three phase conductors, an overhead ground wire and a multi-grounded neutral line. In this paper phase to neutral faults were staged at the specified concrete pole along the distribution line and measured the ground fault current distribution in the ground fault current, three poles nearest to the fault point, overhead ground wire and neutral line. A effect by grounding resistance of poles of ground fault current in the 22.9[kV] multi-ground distribution system. by field tests.

This paper presents a new numerical spectral domain algorithm devoted to blocking unsuccessful automatic reclosing onto permanent faults and fault distance calculation. Arc voltage amplitude and fault distance are calculated from the fundamental and third harmonics of the terminal voltages and currents phasors. From the calculated arc voltage amplitude it can be concluded if the fault is transient arcing fault or permanent arcless fault. If the fault is permanent automatic reclosure should be blocked. The algorithm can be applied for adaptive autoreclosure, distance protection, and fault location. The results of algorithm testing through computer simulation and real field record are given.

In this paper, a fault location algorithm using wavelet transform is proposed for HVDC cable lines. The arriving instants of the first and second fault-induced backward travelling waves can be detected by using wavelet transform. The fault distance is estimated by using the time difference between the two instants of backward travelling waves and the velocity of the travelling wave. To distinguish between the backward wave from fault point and the backward wave from the remote end, polarities of backward waves are used. The proposed algorithm is verified varying with fault distances and fault resistances in underground cables of VSC(voltage source converter) HVDC system and CSC(Current Source Converter) HVDC respectively. Performance evaluations of the proposed algorithm shows that it has good ability for a fault location of HVDC cable faults.

Generally, the application of Programmable Logic Controller PLC is emphasized on the Process Control. This paper presents Neurofuzzy application, Which can estimate the distance to a fault by means of PLC and based up on the Electrical Power System theory and ground resistance. The case study refers to the distribution lines of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA). Also, the thesis is supposed to be of much benefit: saving time both to go to the scene and to clear fault, reducing unpleasant impacts on customers and stabilizing reliability of the distribution lines.

Accurate detection and classification of faults on transmission lines is vitally important. High impedance faults(HIF) in particular pose difficulties for the commonly employed conventional overcurrent and distance relays, and if not detected, can cause damage to expensive equipment, threaten life and cause fire hazards. Although HIFs are far less common than LIFs, it is imperative that any protection device should be able to satisfactorily deal with both HIFs and LIFs. This paper proposes an algorithm for fault detection and classification for both LIFs and HIFs using Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System(ANFIS). The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on a typical 154[kV] Korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. Test results show that the ANFIS can detect and classify faults including (LIFs and HIFs) accurately within half a cycle.

This paper describes an adaptive distance relay for double-circuit line protection with mutual impedance and fault resistance. Double-circuit lines have two operating condition; both lines of a double-circuit line are in operation and one line is switched-off and both ends of the line are grounded. For optimal distance protection, the trip region is calculated, which have respect to mutual impedance and fault resistance.

This paper presents a Daubechies wavelet-based fault detection method for fault identification in transmission lines. After the Daubechies wavelet coefficients are calculated, the proposed algorithm has been implemented difference equation using C language. We have modeled a 154kV transmission line using the ATPDraw software and have acquired test data. In order to evaluate effects of DC offset, simulations carried out while varying an inception angle of the voltage $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$. For performance evaluation, fault distance was varied. As we can see from the off-line simulation, the proposed algorithm shows rapid and accurate fault detection. Also we can see the proposed algorithm is not affected by the fault inception angle change.

This paper presents a distance relaying algorithm for phase-to-ground faults in transmission lines under Multi-Agent protection environment. In normal condition, a distance relay agent stores the latest states, e.g., voltage of source side, voltage of the opposite side and the loading conditions, etc., through communication between the agents. Once a fault occurs, the relay calculates the fault location using the knowledge about the states just before the fault happens. This stand-alone operation is to improve reliability under the fault condition at which the accuracy or time required for communication may not be guaranteed. The mathematical expression of fault location is derived through loop analysis, before hand, in the manner that both fault current from the opposite end and fault resistance are included implicitly so that their effects are minimized. The suggested algorithm is applied to a typical transmission system with two power sources on both ends to show its effectiveness.
