Relay Protection Traveling Wave
Any disturbances in the circuit caused by fault, switching, or lightning creates a traveling wave transient. Travelling Wave (TW): An electromagnetic wave propagating in a transmission line characterized by sinusoidal field component that decrease exponentially in magnitude due to losses, as a function of distance in the direction of propagation, and with a linear variation of phase. ▶ Co-ops energy supply is changing (distribution system in general) ▶ More inverter-based distributed energy resources (DERs) like PV, battery energy storage system, and electric Vehicles ▶ Higher levels of DERs create issues with voltage and frequency regulation, control of DERs, and protection. With the emphasis placed on reliability in today's power system, the need for imp oved accuracy in. Fault location using traveling waves has proven to be an accurate and reliable method for precise location of faults on long transmission lines.
