Fault Location in Power Electrical Traction Line System

Abstract

This study provides an abstract discussion of fault localization strategies for single-end direct power supply networks used in electrical traction. With the use of the current and voltage value at the measuring end of the electrical traction line and the system's distributed parameter model, the location of the short-circuit problem may be determined. Factors such as transient resistance, locomotive location, and load are examined in relation to fault localization. The simulation tests are performed using the MATLAB simulation program. The efficiency of the suggested algorithms is shown by simulation results.
