| description | The paper presents the Fractional Fourier Transform-Singular Value Decomposition (FRFT-SVD) method for the localization of various power system faults in a 200 km long, 500 kV Egyptian transmission line using sent end-line current signals. Transient simulations are carried out using Alternating Transient Program/Electromagnetic Transient Program (ATP-EMTP), and the outcomes are then examined in MATLAB to carry out a sensitivity analysis against measurement noises, sampling frequency, and fault characteristics. The proposed work employs current fault signals of five distinct kinds at nineteen intermediate points throughout the length of the line. The approach utilized to construct the localizer model is FRFT-SVD. It is much more effortless, precise, and effective. The FRFT-SVD is utilized in this technique to calculate 19 sets of indices of the greatest S value throughout the length of the line. The FRFT-SVD localizer model is also designed to be realistic, with power system noise corrupting fault signals. To generate fault curves, the curve fitting technique is applied to these 19 sets of indices. Reduced chi-squared and modified R-squared criteria are used to choose the best-suited curve. The proposed work results in a very precise localization, with only a 0.0016% average percentage error for fault localization and a maximum percentage error of 0.002% for the 200 km Egyptian transmission line. Finally, this work can be employed as a proper link between the nuclear power plant and the grid. The proposed method is an efficient fault distance estimation method that might contribute to creating a dependable transient-based approach to power system protection. |
