Abstract
This letter presents a practical methodology to improve traveling wave (TW)-based fault location (TWFL) on transmission lines by leveraging classical single- and double-ended TWFL functions available in off-the-shelf relays and digital fault recorders. It eliminates negative effects of uncertainties in line propagation velocity and travel time, being free of time-consuming or complicated procedures. Real TW records are studied to demonstrate that the proposed solution can improve the accuracy and reliability of TWFL estimations when uncertainties about line propagation velocity or travel time exist.
