Fault Detection on Transmission Line Using TMI Values

Pavan Kumar Chintha | Nazeer Shaik | Kumarraja.A ^[4]

Abstract: Transmission lines are incessantly disturbed with any kind of temporary or permanent faults, leads to effect of system stability and reliability. In order to avoid this issue, well operated distance relays are needed to be designed. Generally, Relay will provide accurate information for circuit breakers operation during occurrence of any kind of fault. Faults in transmission lines be detected first for immediate removal of fault to protect the system and then ensue to classify the type of fault by the relay. This paper introduces a new scheme for fault detection and classification on transmission line using Transient monitor index method. The proposed method calculates transient monitor index values from measured currents signals from one end information. These index values will discriminate the fault from normal event within a short duration and also classify the nature of the fault. The performance of the proposed method is studied on 500kV, 50Hz two terminal transmission system under MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. Different critical faults and non-fault events were simulated and the results show that the proposed method gives more accurate and faster response than other existing methods.
