Abstract
A method and system is provided for locating a fault in a mixed power transmission line. The method is implemented by an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) of the mixed line. The IED detects a travelling wave from one or more signals received from one or more measurement equipment. Thereafter, the IED identifies a line section with the fault, and generates two or more estimates for the location of the fault based on a time difference between arrival of two peaks of the travelling wave, a velocity of propagation of the travelling wave in the line section identified with the fault, and a length of one or more line sections. The IED determines the location of the fault based on a comparison of each estimate with a threshold, wherein the threshold is estimated based on the one or more signals, equivalent source impedance of each source and total line impedance.
