FAULT ANALYSIS

IN TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
Introduction
The importance of monitoring the performance of power system has
increased in recent years. The evaluation of system disturbances has
become more complex and the monitoring of equipment’s performance
has become essential for power system reliability.

Prior to the application of recording devices, monitoring and fault analysis

relied mainly on relay operations, which sometimes led to inaccurate fault
analysis due to the uncertainty of the correct relay operation. Effective
fault analysis reduces down time and increases the availability of the
transmission equipment.

What will you learn

The course covers the definition, application and fault analysis using
fault/disturbance recorders on overhead transmission lines. With more
than 30 years of experience, information from the recorders has
demonstrated to be more accurate, thus enabling quicker decisions to be
made, particularly during major disturbances.

Participants will share Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), a power utility

in Malaysia, experience in the use of the fault recorder which has
been highlighted in a paper that won an international award for Best
Paper at the Fault and Disturbance Analysis Conference in Atlanta,
Georgia. The paper describes efforts made by TNB to improve the
maintenance planning policy, identify faulty equipment and to control
the power system with the help of the fault recorder.
