Abstract :
Researchers in power systems have investigated fault location methods for many years and have developed mature techniques. Analogies between hydraulic systems and electrical circuits are long established, and are useful for pipeline system analysis. Based on an electric model of the pressurized lines, this paper provides a feasibility study of extending power line fault location techniques to pressurized line leakage diagnostics. Theoretical derivations are presented in the paper.
