Abstract: A system for accurately determining a location of a fault in an electric power delivery system using traveling waves by compensating for dispersion of the traveling waves. The dispersion may be calculated based on a preliminary fault location determination, and the arrival times of traveling wave peaks may then be corrected using the calculated dispersion. A compensation to the traveling wave propagation speed may be made using a proportionality factor to correct for traveling wave dispersion. Dispersion correction may be a function of fault type or physical power line conditions.

Abstract: A closing control method for a high-voltage DC circuit breaker. The method comprises: closing breaking units of the transfer branch (2) group by group, then closing the main branch (1), and finally open the transfer branch. During the process of closing the breaking units of the transfer branch group by group, determine whether there is a fault in the power transmission system after closing current breaking unit group. if there is no fault, proceed to close the next breaking unit group until all breaking unit groups are closed before proceeding to the next step; if there is a fault, all the breaking units that have been closed are opened and the closing operation is ended. The method can pre-charge the power transmission system during the closing process of the high-voltage DC circuit breaker, and lower the overvoltage and system oscillation caused by the closing operation.
