Accurate pin-pointing of faults on transmission lines minimizes outage time, labor, and costs. This paper proposes a simple yet effective ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) approach to accurately locating the faults on transmission lines within half-cycle time. The approach is easy to implement and does not require foreknowledge of either the fault type or an approximate guess of the fault location. Finally, extensive results validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the EnKF-based fault location approach.
