Development of the method of determining the location of a short circuit in transmission lines

Abstract

One of the serious problems of the reliable functioning of energy systems is the disruption of the performance of overhead and cable transmission power lines caused by various reasons. Most of the power outages occur in distribution networks. Particularly dangerous short-circuits in the supply and distribution network, due to unpredictable natural disasters. To ensure uninterrupted and reliable power supply to consumers, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the malfunction in a short time to reduce damage. Finding and troubleshooting a line is an important task. The authors proposed a method for quickly determining the location of a short circuit in power lines. The proposed method allows to reduce search time and increase the accuracy of determining the fault location.
