Voltage sags in the electric power system are mostly due to faults in the power system. Voltage sag is characterized by its magnitude (the retained voltage), phase-angle jump, unbalance in the sag in the three phases, and duration. Type of transformers in the electrical system is the important parameter influencing the characteristic of sag at the node where sensitive loads are connected. For s...

-This paper presents an algorithm for locating faults on two-terminal power transmission lines. Unsynchronized twoend voltages and currents are processed in the algorithm for determining the distance to fault and the synchronization angle. The calculations are performed initially for the lumped model of the transmission line. Then, these results are used as the initial data for the Newton-Raphs...

We present the application to transmission line systems of a new theory of the optical theorem that describes the energy budget of electromagnetic scattering in lossless wave propagation media. The insight gained by exploring this, simplest of the electromagnetic wave propagation systems from the point of view of the optical theorem, is important for understanding power budget of electromagneti...

This paper describes a new, high-speed protection for EHV transmission lines. The presented scheme also performs well on series compensated lines. The High speed distance protection (ZMFPDIS) function is a six zone full scheme protection with three fault loops for phase-to-phase faults and three fault loops for phase-to-earth faults for each of the independent zones, which makes the function su...

The protection of parallel transmission lines has been a challenging task due to mutual coupling between the adjacent circuits of the line. This paper presents a novel scheme for detection and classification of faults on parallel transmission lines. The proposed approach uses combination of wavelet transform and neural network, to solve the problem. While wavelet transform is a powerful mathema...
