Online Location of Faults on AC Cables in Underground Transmission Systems

This book reports on various techniques for fault location on cross bonded cables, identifies the best method and describes the construction of a full fault locator system. The developed system is able of pinpointing the fault location on long cross-bonded cable systems and will be installed in Danish substations for monitoring the coming cable-based transmission grid. The work was conducted as part of a collaborative project between the department of energy technology at Aalborg University and the Danish transmission system operator for electricity and natural gas, Energinet.dk.

Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by Aalborg University, Denmark Provides a detailed study on fault location in underground cable systems Reports on the development of a fault locator system capable of locating faults on both crossbonded cables and on hybrid lines Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
