In this paper, based on the theory of traveling waves, the fault distances on long transmission lines with various series-compensation levels are determined using transient current and voltage frequencies. Transmission lines with series compensation are modeled using Alternative Transients Program software with frequency-dependent effects on the line included in the simulation. The transient current and voltage signals are obtained from the model. A fast Fourier transform is used for frequency-domain conversion and fault location is estimated from the frequencies of fault-generated harmonics in the transient spectrum. The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. To investigate the effect of compensation on accuracy, the results are obtained for different series-compensation levels. The undesirable source-inductance effect is removed and estimation accuracy is further improved using a waveform-relaxation method. The method is found to be successful in determining fault location on series-compensated transmission lines. The effects of the compensation level, fault resistance, and phase angle are investigated.

Nowadays sustainability and quality of energy have gained more importance. Power outages due to failures particularly cause interruption of production at industrial facilities may lead to loss of manpower and resources. One of the major causes of power outages in the power system is the short-circuit faults occurring in transmission lines. The most important requirement to clear the fault in a short time is to estimate the fault location quickly and accurately. In this study, fault location is determined in series compensated power transmission lines utilizing transient frequency spectrum. It has been shown that the method is suitable for series compensated lines.
