Taxonomy of Fault Analysis Methods for Protection of Transmission Lines

Transmission lines are bridging elements between the generation and load centre. Thus, any disturbance to it results in an unreliable electric supply to the consumers and also degrades equipment's life. It will be more severe if this prevails in complex power grids. Therefore, this inevitable condition should be sensed early to take necessary protection and control actions. This paper presents a taxonomy of fault analysis methodologies of transmission lines. This paper will be a good reference on the state of art fault analysis methods for the researchers, the academicians, and the power system engineers.
