TRANSMISSION LINE FAULT DETECTION USING WAVELET TRANSFORM

Abstract

Proper detection of various faults occurring on the transmission line is very essential. In this paper, detection and classification of some these faults is done based on the information conveyed by the wavelet analysis of power systems transients. Maximum norm values, maximum detail coefficient, energy of the current signals are calculated from the Wavelet Toolbox in MATLAB/Simulink. Maximum norm value and energy of the signals detects the fault and threshold detail coefficient classifies the fault into different types such as L-G, L-L-G, L-L-L.
