Transmission Line Protection

Contemporary power systems are associated with serious issues of faults on high voltage transmission lines. Instant isolation of fault is necessary to maintain the system stability. Protective relay utilizes current and voltage signals to detect, classify, and locate the fault in transmission line. A trip signal will be sent by the relay to a circuit breaker with the purpose of disconnecting the faulted line from the rest of the system in case of a disturbance for maintaining the stability of the remaining healthy system. This paper focuses on the studies of fault detection, fault classification, fault location, fault phase selection, and fault direction discrimination by using artificial neural networks approach. Artificial neural networks are valuable for power system applications as they can be trained with offline data. Efforts have been made in this study to incorporate and review approximately all important techniques and philosophies of transmission line protection reported in the literature till June 2014. This comprehensive and exhaustive survey will reduce the difficulty of new researchers to evaluate different ANN based techniques with a set of references of all concerned contributions.

Abstract: Transmission line fault detection is an important aspect of monitoring the health of a power plant since it indicates when suspected faults could lead to catastrophic equipment failure. This research looks at how to detect generator and transmission line failures early and investigates fault detection methods using Artificial Neural Network approaches. Monitoring generator voltages and currents, as well as transmission line performance metrics, is a key monitoring criterion in big power systems. Failures result in system downtime, equipment damage, and a high danger to the power system's integrity, as well as a negative impact on the network's operability and dependability. As a result, from a simulation standpoint, this study looks at fault detection on the Trans Amadi Industrial Layout lines. In the proposed approach, one end's three phase currents and voltages are used as inputs. For the examination of each of the three stages involved in the process, a feed forward neural network with a back propagation algorithm has been used for defect detection and classification. To validate the neural network selection, a detailed analysis with varied numbers of hidden layers was carried out. Between transmission lines and power customers, electrical breakdowns have always been a source of contention. This dissertation discusses the use of Artificial Neural Networks to detect defects in transmission lines. The ANN is used to model and anticipate the occurrence of transmission line faults, as well as classify them based on their transient characteristics. The results revealed that, with proper issue setup and training, the ANN can properly discover and classify defects. The method's adaptability is tested by simulating various defects with various parameters. The proposed method can be applied to the power system's transmission and distribution networks. The MATLAB environment is used for numerous simulations and signal analysis. The study's main contribution is the use of artificial neural networks to detect transmission line faults.
