A new practical fault location algorithm using two-terminal electrical quantities is presented in this article, which takes into account the distributed parameter line model. The analytical expression of algorithm derives from Three-Phase decoupling. First, an analytical synchronization of the unsynchronized measurements is performed with use of the determined synchronization operator and the non-synchronizing angle is calculated with the two-terminal pre-fault electrical quantities. Then, the real-time transmission line parameters are calculated using two-terminal non-synchronized electrical quantities and the non-synchronizing angle. The algorithm overcomes the drawbacks of the traditional fault location algorithms, which does not exist the pseudo-root problem. Besides, it has the advantages of simple, practical, litter computation, no need to search and iterative and robustness. The algorithm has not influenced by fault types, the transition resistance and other factors. At last the developed fault location algorithm is tested using signals of ATP-EMTP versatile simulations of faults on a transmission line.

On EHV transmission lines, the impact of distributed capacitance is necessary to be considered in case of fault location. A novel fault location method for single-phase grounded fault of transmission lines is presented based on the distributed parameter model of transmission line. In this method only the voltage and current of single end is used. The residual phase voltage at the fault point should have the same phase angle as the current through fault branch due to the pure resistive characteristics of the fault path impedance. By virtue of searching the minimum phase angle differ-ence between the phase voltage along the transmission line and the fault-component current meas-ured at the side equipped with protection, the fault distance can be located. ATP simulations are used to generate data that are supplied as inputs to the fault location algorithm.

This paper presents a novel fault location algorithm for a distance relay of a transmission line. Under the assumption that the source voltages and impedances of both ends are not changed before and after a fault, the fault current and the voltage of the terminal end are estimated including the loading condition. Then, the fault location expression, independent of the fault resistance, is derived using these voltages and currents through a loop analysis, in the manner that the in-feed effect of the terminal end is eliminated. The suggested algorithm is applied to a typical transmission line to show its effectiveness.
