A method is provided to make natural frequency method be applied to single terminal traveling wave fault location in the paper. A group of fault distance suspected is calculated by single terminal method of traveling wave fault location method firstly, then deal with current travelling wave of fault by FFT to get the natural frequency reflecting fault location so that a fault distance can be calculated by it. Contrast the fault distance from natural frequency method and everyone of the group of fault distance suspected from single terminal method of traveling wave fault location method to determine the suspected fault distance closed to it is the calculation results we want. Numerical simulation shows the method can improve effectively the reliability of single terminal traveling wave fault location.

Background: A novel fault location method of HVDC transmission line based on a concentric relaxation principle is proposed in this paper. Methods: Due to the different position of fault, the instantaneous energy measured from rectifier and inverter are different, and the ratio k between them is the relationship to the fault location d. Through the analysis of amplitude-frequency characteristics, we found that the wave attenuation characteristic of low frequency in the traveling wave is stable, and the amplitude of energy is larger, so we get the instantaneous energy ratio by using the low-frequency data. By using the method of wavelet packet decomposition, the voltage traveling wave signal was decomposed. Results: Finally, calculate the value k. By using the data fitting, the relative function of k and d can be got, that is the fault location function. Conclusion: After an exhaustive evaluation process considering different fault locations, fault resistances, and noise on the unipolar DC transmission system, four-machine two-area AC/DC parallel system, and an actual complex grid, the method presented here showed a very accurate and robust behavior.

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.

New-type floor is composed of three kinds of slabs joined together through fittings. It is a kind of anisotropic two-way slab. In order to study the calculation method of natural frequency, series method, variable thickness method and variable stiffness method are adopted to calculate the natural frequency. The calculation results of three methods are compared with test result and numerical simulation result. The conclusion is that the calculation result of the variable stiffness method is the closest to the real natural frequency of new-type floor.

In order to enhance the reliability of traveling wave fault location (TWFL) systems, an improved wide area traveling wave fault location (WA-TWFL) algorithms is presented in this paper. In the disturbance area that near to the fault position, we can first get the possible fault positions by using the outgoing path data from the substation that first records the initial traveling wave, then use the possible fault position to verify the reasonableness of data recorded. The fault position that has no counter-example in logical is the real fault position. EMTP simulation verifies the validity and applicability of this algorithm.
