The invention relates to a method for
ranging the single terminal fault of a single outlet
power transmission line based on opposite terminal
bus reflected wave identification, and belongs to the technical field of fault
ranging of power systems. When a
power transmission line has a fault, the method includes the following steps: acquiring three-
phase currents of the line from a head terminal of the line and separately resolving a zero modulus component and an aerial modulus component of the three-
phase currents; separately performing
continuous wavelet transform on the zero modulus componentsand the aerial modulus components to resolve the
modulus maxima thereof, and separately determining the time t<0>, t<1> when the zero modulus current travelling wave and the aerial modulus current travelling wave arrive at the
measurement point at the head terminal; determining the wave head of the zero modulus current travelling wave of the opposite terminal
bus reflected wave, determining the time t<2> when the zero modulus current reflected wave which is reflected by the opposite terminal
bus arrives at the
measurement point at the head terminal; based on the determined wave head of the zero modulus current travelling wave of the opposite terminal bus reflected wave, determining the wave head of the opposite terminal bus reflected wave that corresponds to the aerial modulus current travelling wave, and determining the time t3 when the
measurement point arrives at the head terminal; and resolving the fault distance x by using the wave head of the aerial modulus current travelling wave and a novel fault
ranging formula of the wave head of the opposite terminal bus reflected wave.
