Abstract:
Traveling wave information from a single end of an electric power delivery system is used to determine a fault location on a power line of the electric power delivery system. Hypotheses of which of a plurality of received traveling waves represents a first reflection from the fault are evaluated. A determination of an arrival time of the first reflection from the fault is used to calculate a distance from the single end of the power line to the fault location.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of calculating a relative location of a fault in a power line of an electric power delivery system comprising:\n detecting, via a detector, an arrival time (TPK) and peak amplitude (VPK) of each of a plurality of traveling waves at a first location on the power line; identifying TPKs corresponding to VPKs detected after a first detected traveling wave that have the same polarity as the first detected traveling wave as hypotheses; calculating, via a processor, a set of expected traveling wave arrival times (ETWs) for each hypothesis; determining a first number of matches (NS) of the ETWs of each hypothesis with the detected TPKs; calculating a merit value (N) of each of the hypotheses based on a function of the number of matches (NS) of each respective hypothesis; selecting one of the hypotheses based on the merit value (N); and calculating a location of the fault relative to the first location based on the length of the power line, a traveling wave line propagation time (TWLPT), and the selected hypothesis.
