A new fault location method based on adaptive neuro fuzzy in presence of SSSC on transmission line

This paper presences an accurate and robust fault location algorithm for transmission lines utilizing Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). The presence of SSSC on a transmission line has a great influence on the measured impedance at the relaying point. Firstly a detailed model of the SSSC and its control is proposed and then a precise fault location algorithm employing adaptive neuro fuzzy (ANFIS) is presented. A MATLAB_SIMULINK test system is modeled to investigate the proposed algorithm. The results obtained allow concluding that the fault location algorithm is accurate with respect to SSSC presence.
