QUESTION

A 220 kV, 150 MVA, 50 Hz, three pahse transmission line is 140 km. The characteristics parameters
of the transmission line are:

r =0.09 Ω/km; x=0.88 Ω/km ; y =4.1 ×10−6 S/km ;

Where, r is the resistance per kilometer, x is the reactance per kilometer, y is the shunt admittance per
kilometer. The voltage at the receiving end of the transmission line is 210 kV. The voltage at the
receiving end of the transmission line is 210 kV. Although this transmission line would normally be
considered a medium length transmission line.

INTRODUCTION
In an electric power system, a fault or fault current is nothing but a any abnormal electric current flow in the circuit
and “Current always flows in short circuit path or least resistive path’’. The faults in power system causes over
current, under voltage, unbalance of the phases, reversed power and high voltage surges.
A fault in an electric power system can be defined as, any abnormal condition of the system that involves the
electrical failure of the equipment, such as, transformers, generators, busbars, etc. The fault creates the abnormal
condition which reduces the insulation strength between the conductors. The reduction in insulation causes
excessive damage to the system.
Faults may occur in the three phase or single phase power system due to the number of reasons like natural
disturbances (lightning, high-speed winds, earthquakes), equipment insulation failure, falling of a tree, bird shorting,
Line Over loads etc.
There are some more reason for power system fault such as frequent electrical surges, sag and dips in transmission
line, circuit overload, circuit breaker tripping etc. Fault detection and classification on transmission lines are
important tasks in order to protect the electrical power system. Electrical fault is the deviation of voltages and
currents from nominal values or states. Under normal operating conditions, power system equipment or lines carry
normal voltages and currents which results in a safer operation of the system.
A Power System is a network composed of passive and active electrical components which are used to supply and
transmit electric power. In these systems, faults are considered to be abnormal electric current parameter. Numbers
of factors are responsible for the fault occurrence a system. Thus, systems are designed for the power system
analysis in order to detect and interrupt different types of faults in power system. To fulfill this requirement is the
main objective of power system protection.A variety of methods of detecting & locating faults in a power systems
exist. Here we have tried to made a short review of some of the common methods of Power System Analysis for
Different types of faults in power system and their consequences in brief.

CONCLUSION

The rapid growth of the electric power system has in recent decades resulted in an increase of the number of
transmission lines and total power outage. The challenge of a fast-growing electrical grid has also resulted in huge
increases of overhead lines and their total length. These lines are experiencing faults due to various reasons that
cause major disruptions. Fault detection and classification on transmission lines are important tasks in order to
protect the electrical power system. In recent years, the power system has become more complicated under
competitive and deregulated environments and a fast fault location technique is needed to maintain security and
supply in the grid.
