Fault diagnosis in an extra-high voltage power line

Abstract

The use of fuzzy and adaptive neuro-fuzzy technique for fault detection, classification and location is presented in this study. Ten different types of electrical faults in a transmission line were investigated. The results obtained show that a high degree of accuracy was recorded for detection, classification and location of electrical faults in the extra-high voltage line. Ongoing studies on the subject are expected to further improve levels of accuracy in fault classification and location especially.
