Study on Travelling-wave protection Starting element

Travelling-wave starting element is an integral part of the ultra high-speed protection. Existing design method depends on engineering experience, low accuracy in travelling-wave signal recognition, easy to trip frequently or refuse to trip. To solve these problems, through mass of starting signal simulation and analysis under different fault conditions, this paper focuses on the travelling-wave starting element and figures out the travelling-wave identification method. This paper summarizes the frequency and voltage characteristics of travelling-wave head, puts forward a new method in real-time travelling-wave fault identification. In addition, the analysis course included in this paper is a useful attempt that can be used in similar fault travelling-wave analysis.
