To simulate power system fault traveling waves more accurately, the ideal should be to build a complete model of the power system, but this is unrealistic. Therefore, the system model needs to be properly simplified and equated. According to the characteristics of the power system under study, the whole network is divided into core, peripheral

A representation of overhead lines and underground cables by means of lumped elements is not helpful in making us understand the wave phenomena because electromagnetic waves have a travel time, therefore the properties of travelling waves, which play an important role in power system transients, are treated in this chapter.
Fault location on transmission lines based on travelling waves
Traveling waves are high-frequency electromagnetic pulses propagating in both directions on a transmission line from the fault point.

Traveling waves on electric power systems
The problems of traveling waves on the transmission lines of a power system differ considerably from those of traveling waves on telephone or telegraph circuits. The primary object in the case of the former is to know how to protect the system from abnormal voltage disturbances which might damage apparatus or cause discontinuity of service ; whereas the object in the case of the

Single-phase-to-ground fault in power distribution system with neutral point non-effectively grounded has different fault characteristics compared with other short-circuit faults. Single-phase-to-ground fault will not lead to over current but generate travelling waves information. Overcurrent protection for other short-circuit faults can''t be applied to protect single-phase-to-ground fault.

Travelling Wave
The traveling wave-based methods have some limitations: 1. The key to traveling wave fault location is the detection of the wave head. This method fails if the wave head is not detected. Traveling wave signals become weak when the line is grounded through a large resistor or by a fault caused by a gradual change in the transition resistance.

6 FAQs about [Travelling waves in power system]
What is a traveling wave?
Travelling Wave (TW): An electromagnetic wave propagating in a transmission line characterized by sinusoidal field component that decrease exponentially in magnitude due to losses, as a function of distance in the direction of propagation, and with a linear variation of phase.
What is a traveling wave & transient wave?
Definition: Travelling wave is a temporary wave that creates a disturbance and moves along the transmission line at a constant speed. Such type of wave occurs for a short duration (for a few microseconds) but cause a much disturbance in the line. The transient wave is set up in the transmission line mainly due to switching, faults and lightning.
Why is the speed of travelling wave on cable less than transmission line?
Therefore the speed of travelling wave on cable is less than that of transmission line. Travelling wave on transmission line is the voltage / current waves which propagate from the source end to the load end during the transient condition. These waves travel along the line with the velocity equal to velocity of light if line losses are neglected.
Would you use the travelling wave principle for a fault location?
Q3.8 Would you use the travelling wave principle for a fault location with only one device on one side of a line? As described in section 3.1, in modern TW systems, fault location can be carried out either by equipping a single TWFL terminal or by interchanging the two extremities equipped with TWFL, increasing their accuracy.
What is the speed of travelling wave on a lossless line?
The velocity of travelling wave for a lossless line is equal to the speed of light. Since the cable core is surrounded by insulations and sheath, its relative permittivity εr >1 and hence ε = ε0εr > ε0 (permittivity of air). Therefore the speed of travelling wave on cable is less than that of transmission line.
Why do waves travel along a line if line losses are neglected?
These waves travel along the line with the velocity equal to velocity of light if line losses are neglected. But practically there always exists some line loss and hence these waves propagate along the line with velocity somewhat lower than the velocity of light.
