Abstract
Overhead power lines (OHPLs) represent the backbone of electric power systems and connect generation sources with consumers. The power supply reliability and maintenance costs of power grids largely depend on accurate fault location on OHPLs, as this significantly affects the speed of power supply restoration and reduces equipment downtime. This article proposes a new approach to fault location which includes the division of the OHPL bypass (inspection) zone into sections with subsequent implementation of a faulted section location procedure. This article substantiates the application of sequential multi-hypothesis analysis, which allows us to adapt the decision-making process regarding the OHPL faulted section to the peculiarities of emergency event oscillogram distortion and the conditions for estimating their parameters. According to the results of our calculations, it is noted that the application of sequential analysis practically does not affect the speed of OHPL fault location but does ensure unambiguity in decision making regarding the faulted section under the influence of random factors.
