Travelling wave fault location in rural radial distribution networks to reduce wild fire risk

This paper introduces a new fault location algorithm for radial MV distribution networks employing distributed travelling wave observers. Incipient fault location may reduce the risk of wild or bush fire ignition by faulty MV overhead lines. Some faults can develop over time and may exist for an ext...
