“Electrical Fault Detection in Overhead Transmission Line”

Abstract: Transmission lines play a crucial role in the power system by transmitting a significant amount of electric power from the source area to the distribution network. With the exponential growth in power demand, minimizing power losses has become a paramount concern. These losses encompass transmission losses, physical losses, and various technical losses. Additionally, reactive power and voltage deviations pose significant challenges in long-range transmission lines. Fault analysis is pivotal in power system engineering to swiftly clear faults and restore the power system with minimal interruption. However, detecting faults in transmission lines remains a challenging task, necessitating research to enhance system reliability. This paper provides a comprehensive review of transmission line fault detection methods.
