A High-Speed Adaptive Single-Phase Reclosing Technique Based on Local Voltage Phasors

In this paper, a new adaptive single-phase reclosing method for high-voltage transmission lines is proposed. This method employs local voltage magnitude and angle of the faulted phase. It is shown in this paper that the proposed method is able to quickly identify the fault type and the arc extinction if the fault is transient. This method is effective for various system configurations, including ideally and partially transposed transmission lines, untransposed lines, as well as transmission lines with or without a shunt reactor. Superior performance of the proposed method has been verified using 550 case studies simulated in PSCAD and Matlab and a real case related to a 765-kV transmission line.
