Meet ME Alum Jake Scott, Trane Technologies, to learn about career fair success and networking.
We can use the following for the summary: Utilities across the world are using traveling-wave based devices to locate faults with an accuracy of one to two tower spans. This presentation briefly discusses capabilities of line protective relays that include TW-based functions such as fault locating, line monitoring, and a line current differential scheme. This presentation includes a tutorial on Vaisala’s National Lightning Detection Network and shows how the correlation of data from the lightning detection network and the relays helps the patrol crew to locate the disturbance. PPL Electric Utilities Corporation uses this correlation to confirm the root cause of the disturbance and to verify the performance of the lightning mitigation devices in the network.
