Abstract:
Traveling wave information from a single end of an electric power delivery system is used to determine a fault location on a power line of the electric power delivery system. Hypotheses of which of a plurality of received traveling waves represents a first reflection from the fault are evaluated. A determination of an arrival time of the first reflection from the fault is used to calculate a distance from the single end of the power line to the fault location.
