Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

A simulation model of a linear high-frequency path of an overhead power line (OPL) implemented in the PSCAD software environment is considered. The model allows studying the transmission of location signals in the OPLs of 6 – 35 kV distribution networks in the presence of single-phase-to-earth faults (SPEF). Simulated and experimental TDR traces for various SPEFs are compared. Methods of location-based determination of the SPEF distance and location are described.
