1. Introduction

A fault occurs when two or more conductors come incontact with each other or ground Hawary (1995). In threephase systems, faults are classified as:

• Single line-to-ground faults.• Line-to-line faults.• Double line-to-ground faults.• Three phase symmetrical faults.

Ground faults have been considered as one of the mainproblems in power systems and account for more than 80%of all faults (Tungkanawanich, Kawasaki, Matsuura, &Kuno, 2000). These faults give rise to serious damage onpower system equipments. A ground fault which occurson transmission lines not only effects the equipments but

also the power quality. So, it is necessary to determinethe fault location on the line and clear the fault as soonas possible in order not to cause such damages. Flashover,lightning strikes, birds, wind, snow and ice-load lead toshort circuits. Deformation of insulator materials alsoleads to short circuit faults. It is essential to detect the faultquickly and separate the faulty section of the transmissionline. Locating ground faults quickly is very important forsafety, economy and power quality.

There are several methods such as using the variation ofline impedance, measuring faulty current and voltage sig-nals and a lot of study has been continued with advancesin computer technology. When fault location is estimatedby using current and voltage wave information, methodsbased on traveling waves, faulty line impedance calcula-tions, neural network and wavelet transform (WT) are usedwidely (Hannienen & Lethonen, 2002). In traveling wavemethod, fault location is determined by using time differ-ence between incident and reflecting waves (A, 2004; Jian,Xiangxun, & Jianchao, 1998; Liang, Elangovan, & Dev-otta, 2000). This method has been restricted because of

2938 S. Ekici et al. / Expert Systems with Applications 34 (2008) 2937–2944

the difficulty in analysis. Traveling waves require a veryhigh sampling rate as well. Calculating characteristic reac-tance is another method which is used for estimating faultdistance (Fikri & El-Sayed, 1988). This method calculatesreactance between relay point and fault represents an accu-rate estimation of fault distance when the fault resistance isvery small at line ends. One of the other techniquesemployed is Fourier transform which obtain line imped-ance in the frequency domain (Tawfik & Morcos, 1998).Recently the most used technique in estimation of fault dis-tance is artificial neural network (Lai et al., 2000; Yu &Song, 1998). Artificial neural network is trained with thesamples of faulty current and voltage signals. In spite ofFourier transform, recently WT has been used to obtainthe best information of current and voltage signals. Themain advantage of WT is that the band of analysis canbe finely adjusted and the results obtained from WT areshown on both the time and frequency domain.

In spite of the technological development and efforts inthe literatures for fault location studies, providing a morereliable and accurate fault location algorithm is still consid-ered a challenge. In this paper, a new extension of WTwhich is named wavelet packet transform (WPT) has beenused for feature extraction. WPT is capable of dividing thewhole time-frequency plane while the classical WT candetermine analysis only for low band frequency (Hong,Chiang, & Elangovan, 1999). The features obtained fromWPT will be used for training and testing of ANN. On

the other hand, training of ANN is very difficult as datasets increase in size. So, it is essential to reduce the sizeof data sets. For this purpose, wavelet energy and entropycriterion have been used. After the wavelet packet coeffi-cients are obtained for each faulty current and voltage sig-nals, the energy and entropy values have been calculatedfor each signal separately. In this way, the size of data setsdecreases in a remarkable ratio. In this paper, it is intendedto find out the best solution method which yields the bestresults for estimating transmission lines fault location byusing the above mentioned techniques.

2. Wavelet packet based feature extraction

2.1. Wavelet packet decomposition

The wavelet packet method is an expansion of classicalwavelet decomposition that presents more possibilities forsignal processing (Misiti, Misiti, Oppenheim, & Poggi,2004). In wavelet transform, signals split into a detail andan approximation. The approximation obtained fromfirst-level is split into new detail and approximation and thisprocess is repeated. Because of the fact that WT decom-poses only the approximations of the signal, it may causeproblems while applying WT to in certain applicationswhere the important information is located in higherfrequency components (Shinde, 2004). The main differ-ence between WT and WPT is that WPT splits not only

approximations but also details. The top level of the WPT isthe time representation of the signal, whereas, the bottomlevel has better frequency resolution (Learned & Willsky,1995). Thus, with the use of WPT, a better frequency reso-lution can be obtained for the decomposed signal. In addi-tion, the use of WPT extracts much more features about thesignal. For the n-level decomposition, the original signal S issplit as shown in Fig. 1. The original signal S is representedas A1 + D1, A2 + D2 + D1, A3 + D3 + D2 + D1. On theother hand, wavelet packet allows the original signal S tobe represented with the various combinations of low andhigh frequency component. One of these combinations isD1 + AAA3 + DAA3 + DA2. As a result, wavelet packetanalysis provides both better control of frequency resolu-tion and more features about signal than WT.

2.2. Wavelet energy

The wavelet energy is the sum of square of detailedwavelet transform coefficients Morchen (2003). The energyof wavelet coefficient is varying over different scalesdepending on the input signals. The wavelet energy of coef-ficients c(t) can be defined as follows:

EðsðtÞÞ ¼XN

j¼1

ajc2j ð1Þ

with appropriate scaling coefficients aj for the coefficient cj

obtained from the corresponding signal s(t). The energy ofsignal is contained mostly in the approximation part and alittle in the detail part (Pham & Kubin, 2004). For example,the approximation coefficient at the first-level containsmuch more energy than the other coefficients at the samelevel of the decomposition tree. Because the faulty signalshave high frequency components, it is more distinctive touse energy of detail coefficients. Thus, we can obtain sevenfeatures with three-levels WPT for only one faulty signal.

2.3. Wavelet entropy

A signal can be expended in different ways and the num-ber of binary subtrees may be very large. It is necessary tofind an optimal decomposition by using a convenient algo-rithm. Entropy is a common method in many fields, espe-cially in signal processing applications (Neural NetworkToolbox User’s Guide, 2006). Entropy indicates theamount of information which is stored in observed signal.There are more different entropy types such as Shannon,log energy, sure, threshold, etc. (Coifman & Wickerhauser,1992). The entropy ‘E’ must be an additive informationcost function such that E(0) = 0 and

The entropy for the observed signal in /p norm with p P 1can be expressed as,

and

The Shannon entropy is defined as

Where ‘si’ represents coefficients of signal ‘s’ in an ortho-normal basis. If the entropy value is greater than one, thecomponent has a potential to reveal more informationabout the signal and it needs to be decomposed further inorder to obtain simple frequency component of the signal(Shinde, 2004). The using of entropy provides distinctivefeatures about the signal and reduces the size of featurevector as compared with the using of node coefficientsalone.

3. Artificial neural network

Artificial neural network is widely used in the engineer-ing areas such as telecommunication, medicine, control andpower systems (Hong et al., 1999). ANN is made up ofmany computational processing elements called neuronsor nodes (Mori, Aoyama, Yamanaka, & Urano, 2002;Saha, Izykowski, Rosolowski, & Kasztenny, 1999). Thesenodes operate in parallel and are connected together intopologies that are loosely modeled after biological neuralsystems (Joorabian, 1998). The training of ANN is carriedout to associate correct output responses to particularinput pattern. Once trained properly, an ANN has the abil-ity to generalize when similar, but not identical patterns areintroduced to the network (Mohamed, 1998). Among allthe proposed ANN structures, multi-layer perceptron(MLP) is the most popular one (Luo, Kezunovic, & Sevcik,2004). The multi-layer perceptron has the ability of han-dling complex and non-linear input–output relationshipwith hidden layer.

signals have been used as input for the neural network. Ifthe wavelet packet coefficients are used as inputs to theANN, it will result in rather large number of inputs posingdifficulty for training and testing of ANN in connec-tion with accuracy and speed. Therefore, the energy andentropy of wavelet packet coefficients have been used asinputs to the ANN instead, in order to overcome this prob-lem but retaining important features of the wavelet packetsignals.

MATLAB Neural Network Toolbox (Misiti et al., 2004)is used to build the network. Table 1 shows the features ofthe constructed network.

For designing WPT and ANN based fault locator, thefeatures which belong to faulty current and voltage signalswere used for training and testing of ANN after prepro-cessing. The number of neurons for the hidden layer is cho-sen to be 12 and hyperbolic tangent function was used asthe activation function of the hidden layer neurons. Satu-rated linear function was used for the output layer. Thetraining procedure of neural network has been shown inFig. 2.

4. The implementation of the fault location system

A 380 kV and 360 km long power system which is simu-lated by using alternative transient program (ATP) isshown in Fig. 3. The simulation parameters are chosenwith 1:1000 scale factors. Considering the scale factor, lineresistance, line inductance, mutual capacitance, earth resis-tance and earth capacitance were selected as 13 ohm,290 mH, 1 lF, 5 ohm and 2 lF, respectively. The simula-tion time is 110 ms with 10 ls time step. It was assumedthat faults occurred at 20 different locations randomly.For all the fault points, the faulty signals were saved inorder to be used in feature extraction. The features of 11faulty current and voltage signals were used for trainingand the others were used for testing of ANN.

WPT was used as a feature extractor which gives distin-guishable characteristic features about the signals. For thewavelet packet decomposition, half cycle of pre-fault andhalf cycle of post-fault has been considered. After waveletpacket decomposition, energy and Shannon type entropycriterion (Misiti et al., 2004) have been applied to WPTdetail. Therefore, dimensions of the input patterns canbe reduced and useful information can be extracted forthe training of ANN. Eight features were extracted foreach faulty current and voltage signals, but the first ofthem was neglected because of its high energy value. Thewavelet packet analysis was performed with three-leveldecomposition and Daubechies 4 was selected as motherwavelet. The block diagram of proposed method and thestructure of the neural network are shown in Figs. 4 and5, respectively.

In Figs. 6 and 7, the original signal and parts of the coef-ficients are plotted for the WPT decomposition. For aphase-to-ground fault which occurred at 108 km, 11,000data were abstracted and saved. It is essential to determinefault location within a short time. Therefore, one period offaulty signals containing approximately 2000 data isselected for wavelet packet decomposition.

It should be noticed that the feature extraction is veryimportant for the performance of classifier. The size of

input layer is also important for training the performanceof ANN. Six different cases have been investigated to findout the best performance between entropy and energy ofthe current and voltage signals for locating the fault onthe transmission line, the details of which have been givenbelow.

Case 1: The entropy of current signal is selected as theinput.The test results of ANN are shown in Fig. 8, as theentropy criterion is applied to faulty current waveformsafter WPT. In this case, eight features are extracted afterwavelet packet decomposition. The first feature whichhas the highest entropy value belongs to the approxima-tion and hence is ignored. Thus, seven features are cho-sen for only one faulty current waveform.Case 2: The energy of current signal is selected as theinput.Fig. 9 shows the actual fault location and test results asthe energy criterion is applied to the current signal afterWPT. Although the results obtained from the first caseare very satisfactory, it is shown that this case givesmore accurate results.Case 3: The entropy of voltage signal is selected as theinput.Another case for estimating the fault location is toemploy the entropies of voltage waveforms as the inputsof ANN after wavelet packet coefficients are obtained.The results of this method are shown in Fig. 10.Case 4: The energy of voltage signal is selected as theinput.We can employ the energy of voltage waveforms as theinputs of ANN alternatively. The results of this case areshown in Fig. 11 clearly.Case 5: The entropy values of current and voltage sig-nals are selected as the inputs.

5. Conclusions

This paper presents a data reduction technique for esti-mation of fault locations on transmission lines rapidly andaccurately. In the literature, there was a lot of study in thisarea. In recent years, the methods based on wavelet trans-form started to be used in signal processing applicationswidely. In this work, the proposed method uses waveletpacket decomposition which provides more features aboutthe signal than classical wavelet. After wavelet packetdecomposition with three-level, the energy and entropy ofwavelet packet coefficients are calculated for each faultycurrent and voltage waveforms. Therefore, the size of fea-ture vectors is reduced considerably. The features obtainedby this way are used as the inputs of ANN separately ortogether for performance evaluation of different cases.According to the test results obtained from six differentcases, the performance of second case when the energiesof current waveforms are used as the inputs is thebest; even the others are also acceptable. The faulty signalssampled at 10 kHz are obtained from single terminal end ofthe power system. This simplifies the architecture of ANN.

In further works, the technique which has the best perfor-mance will be used for a more complicated power system.
