A Distributed Measurement System for Locating Transient-Voltage Sources

The use of a distributed measurement system to locate the source of transient voltages is discussed in this paper. The system implements a method based on the measurement of the starting instants of a transient in the nodes of the monitored network. The method performance is investigated by simulating the system operation. Results in the case of both faults and insertion of capacitors in an IEEE test network are presented and discussed
