Abstract: A system for monitoring an electric power delivery system by obtaining high-frequency electric power system measurements and displaying event information is disclosed herein. The system may use the high-frequency electric power system information to detect traveling waves. The system may generate a display showing fault location on the electric power system, and timing of traveling waves received at locations on the electric power system. The display may include time on one axis and location on another axis. The display may include a waterfall display.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to detection of faults in an electric power system. In one embodiment, a time-domain traveling wave directional subsystem is configured to receive a plurality of current traveling wave and a plurality of voltage traveling wave time-domain representations based on electrical conditions in the electric power delivery system. The plurality of current and voltage traveling wave time-domain representations may be compared to respective minimum thresholds. An integral may be generated based on a product of the plurality of current and voltage traveling wave time-domain representations when the current and voltage traveling wave time-domain representations exceed the minimum thresholds. A sign of the integral may reflect whether the fault is in the forward or reverse direction. A fault detector subsystem configured to declare the fault when the sign reflects that the fault is in the forward direction and the integral exceeds a security margin.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting the failure of a precision time source using an independent time source are disclosed. Additionally, detecting the failure of a GNSS based precision time source based on a calculated location of a GNSS receiver is disclosed. Moreover, the system may be further configured to distribute a time derived from the precision time source as a precision time reference to time dependent devices. In the event of a failure of the precision time source, the system may be configured to distribute a time derived from a second precision time source as the precision time signal during a holdover period.

Abstract: A system for accurately determining a location of a fault in an electric power delivery system using traveling waves by compensating for dispersion of the traveling waves. The dispersion may be calculated based on a preliminary fault location determination, and the arrival times of traveling wave peaks may then be corrected using the calculated dispersion. A compensation to the traveling wave propagation speed may be made using a proportionality factor to correct for traveling wave dispersion. Dispersion correction may be a function of fault type or physical power line conditions.

Abstract: An electric power delivery system may be protected upon occurrence of a fault condition by the systems and methods disclosed herein by detecting the fault condition and signaling a protective action before the overcurrent condition reaches the protective equipment. The protective action may be an opening of a circuit breaker or engagement of a fault current limiter. The overcurrent condition may be a non-steady-state condition. The fault may be detected using traveling wave or incremental quantity techniques.

Abstract: A testing system for imposing a traveling wave signal on an electric power system signal for testing a fault detector is disclosed herein. The testing system may be configured to simulate a fault at a simulated location by controlling the timing of the traveling wave signal. The testing system may be configured to impose multiple traveling wave signals to test the accuracy of the fault location determined by the fault detector. The testing system may be configured with multiple testing apparatuses using time coordination and referenced to an intended fault instant. The testing system may be configured to supply traveling waves of different polarities to test for different fault type detection.
