Improving the Availability of the Onitsha-New Haven 330kv Transmission Line Availability Using Adaptive PMU-Based Insulation Defect Detector
This thesis is aimed at improving the availability of the New Haven-Onitsha 330kV transmission line byusing an adaptive PMU based insulation defect detecting and location scheme. The exposed nature ofoverhead power lines makes overhead power transmission lines very vulnerable to various kinds of faults.Insulation-related faults contribute reasonably to the number of faults experienced in overheadtransmission lines. These faults cause outages in the network and reduce the availability of thetr...
