Abstract: In view of the incapability of the traditional traveling wave fault location method for transmission lines of meeting the requirement on high precision location of the distribution network that is complex and profusely branching in structure,a new traveling wave fault location method based on multiple time information is proposed.The incidence matrix and distance matrix are built to judge the selection of fault.Based on the model for the location binary tree,the algorithm only uses time information and the structure of the distribution network to delete the ineffective arrival time of traveling wave and realize accurate fault location.EMTP simulation results show that the method has fairly high fault location precision and can meet the requirements of power network operation.
