Traveling wave-based fault location has attracted more and more attention from industries worldwide. This theory allowed the implementation of functions in order to increase the reliability of the obtained fault location results. Among existing functions, the classical one-terminal method requires the detection of the wave reflected from the fault, which is still considered a challenging task. A commercial relay was released with a function able to identify these reflected waves by evaluating patterns and weighted hypotheses, identifying the wavefront most likely to be the one re ected from the fault. However, as this function is embedded into a relay, it is not possible to change the method settings. Thus, this paper presents a validation of this function which is implemented externally to the relay. Besides, its application is extended for transmission lines to which the relay can not be applied, such as huge HVDC lines.

In the distribution network fault location, the impact of information distortion needs to be to focus on, especially when the short-circuit current is used as the fault information. Considering the distortion or failure of real-time information and other issues, the quick location method of the failure point in distribution network is analyzed. Based on the mathematical model of distribution network fault location, firefly algorithm is applied. According to the characteristics of fault location objective function in distribution network, convergence criterion is proposed, which is suitable for fault location mathematical model.

According to the generating process and propagation characteristics of earth-fault transient signal, an earth-fault location method for distribution network based on transient signal is presented. In the method, in order to change line characteristic impedance, a resonant filter circuit is paralleled in line segment border, so that it could cause transient current energy differences in feature frequency band on both sides of detection device. The location method achieves earth-fault area location through comparing transient current energy and energy attenuation coefficient in feature frequency band. The simulation test result shows that the method isn't influenced by distribution system grounded style, operation style and other factors and which could detect the earth-fault area rapidly and reliably in distribution network and has a high project application value.
