A NEWALGORITHMOFAN ACCURATEFAULTLOCATIONFOREHV/UHV TRANSMISSIONLINES: PARTI - FOURIERTRANSFORMATION METHOD

A fault location algorithmbased on the Fourieranalysisof a faulted network is presented. Thealgorithmembodiesan accurate locationby measur- ingonly a localend data. Its fundamentaltheoryis studiedthroughdigitalcomputersimulationson a model power system. With thepracticalapplications in mind, fast algorithmsare then examined. Finally,the experimentalresultsof a computerizedfault locator appliedto a laboratory systemare presented.
