A Review on the Research Methods for Arc Fault Location
摘要
With the expansion of transmission lines and the rise of voltage levels, the risk of arc faults increases. Furthermore, the effects of fault occurrence in a part of the system are not limited to itself and other parts are also affected during this event. Therefore, locating and repairing arc faults in time are significantly important for the operation and safety of transmission lines. This paper reviewed various fault location methods, such as impedance-based method, travelling wave-based method, time reversal theory methods, and artificial intelligence methods. Each type of fault location methods was discussed with advantages and shortcomings. The results can be helpful for the future work of arc fault location.
