Abstract
This paper proposes a new algorithm for the detection and classification of faults in transmission lines in the presence of distributed generation. The proposed algorithm uses wavelet transform-based detail and approximation coefficients of voltage and current signals over one cycle after fault inception at one end of the transmission line. The line impedance calculated from the ratio of the voltage and current approximation coefficients is fed to the fuzzy inference system to classify faults. The proposed algorithm has been tested successfully in a real-time digital simulator for nonlinear high impedance faults in the presence of wind farm, considering the effects of CT saturation. All types of faults with the variation of pre-fault loading condition, line parameters, line length and source impedance can be correctly classified using the proposed algorithm.
