Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a fault in an electric power delivery system. In one embodiment, a system may include a data acquisition subsystem configured to receive a plurality of representations of electrical conditions associated with at least a portion of the electric power delivery system. A traveling wave detector may be configured to detect a traveling wave event based on the plurality of representations of electrical conditions. A traveling wave directional subsystem may be configured to calculate an energy value of the traveling wave event during an accumulation period based on the detection of the traveling wave by the traveling wave disturbance detector. A maximum and a minimum energy value may be determined during the accumulation period. A fault direction may be determined based on the maximum energy value and the minimum energy value. A fault detector subsystem configured to declare a fault based on the determined fault direction.
