Fault Location Scheme for Transmission Lines Using Kaiser Self-Convolution Windowed FFT Phase Comparison

Abstract:

In order to improve the fault location accuracy, and eliminate the influence of spectral leakage in power transmission line fault location, we proposed a novel fault location scheme for transmission lines based on multi-measurements and phase comparison with Kaiser self-convolution windows FFT, which can locate the fault between two adjacent towers in the fault-prone segment. It is based Kaiser self-convolution window's excellent performance of leakage suppression, which can effectively solve the phase current fault component is relatively large errors due to spectral leakage problem. Firstly, this paper analyzes the causes of the phase spectrum leakage, then elaborates the sidelobe characteristics of Kaiser self-convolution window, and lists phase comparative fault location using steps, finally, verifies the correctness of the proposed method by simulation. The results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress spectral leakage, has a high location accuracy, a wide applicability and its solving of phase difference is precise.
