Abstract
When a fault occurs in transmission lines, first, it is detected, then classified, and finally, located by a distance protection. Having a fast fault detection approach helps saving the required time for the whole protection procedure. In this paper, a novel method for fault detection of transmission lines based on the summation of squared three-phase currents (SSC) and a moving average technique is proposed. The SSC is constant during a normal condition of the network, while it has considerable variation under a fault condition. Using a moving average concept, a criterion is defined, by which fault occurrence can be detected. The proposed fault detection method is evaluated in four different systems: a typical 5-bus system, a typical double-circuit transmission line, WSCC 9-bus system, and a laboratory small-scaled system. The results confirm a high degree of accuracy and speed of the proposed approach. Moreover, the performance of the method is compared with some other similar methods from different aspects.
