Abstract

Transmission line fault identification requires fast and accurate analysis. The tripping action depends mainly on the voltage and current waveforms during the fault. Wavelet analysis, which is a mathematical tool for signal analysis is used to detect the type of fault occurring on the transmission line. A single area network with 500kv and 200 kms transmission line is simulated by using matlab and the simulated results are used to determine fault distance at different locations.  To identify the fault, Gabor Wavelet is used. The discrete Gabor algorithm is implemented by using ‘C’ program.

Keywords
