Abstract:

It is of great significance for power supply reliability and smart grid to locate the point of failure on distribution lines quickly and accurately. A new ground fault traveling-wave signal time-frequency analysis method is put forward. It decomposes the line mode component and zero mode component of fault current based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to get multi-stage stable intrinsic mode function (IMF). The first IMF contains more frequency components which can reflect the mutation of signal. Transform the first IMF with Hilbert-Huang transformation to get the instantaneous frequency of signal. And then check the moment when the head wave of traveling wave arrived using the instantaneous frequency in the fig of time-frequency. Account the fault distance based on the time difference between the moment of head wave arrived of line mode component and zero mode component. Simulation analysis proves that this method is able to accurately account the distance of fault in the influence of the random factors such as fault transition resistance and the moment of fault.
