To develop a practical time-domain algorithm that estimates the location of incipient and permanent underground cable faults by accounting for fault arc voltage.
Designed a time-domain fault location algorithm incorporating fault arc voltage dynamics and line impedance estimation.
Utilized data recorded by power quality monitors during single-phase sub-cycle fault events.
Evaluated algorithm performance against real-world field data collected from utility distribution circuits across three cable failure events.
The algorithm successfully located incipient faults across three underground cable failures with average absolute errors of 7.37%, 4.69%, and 3.58%.
Demonstrated capability to locate both brief sub-cycle disturbances and full permanent faults using line impedance calculations.
