USING PQ MONITORING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AUTOMATIC FAULT LOCATION

This paper describes the use of substation monitoring systems (power quality monitoring, digital fault recorders, and intelligent relays) for automatic fault location on distribution systems. Fault location algorithms and required system interfaces are described. Two examples of actual implementations as part of substation power quality monitoring systems are described.
