Powering the Future Summit 2021: Track 6: Technical - Enhancing Traveling Wave-Based Applications: Being Adaptive to be Smarter

Traveling wave-based technologies have gained further notoriety, being nowadays a reality in modern power system monitoring schemes. Traveling wave-base solutions have been studied for decades, but for years, their application has been limited by technological limitations, such as those related to digital fault records time resolution. However, since the advent of the digital technology, sampling rates applied in digital fault recorders and relays have increased, allowing power systems transients to be analyzed in a microsecond time scale. As a result, traveling wave-based technologies have gained further notoriety, being nowadays a reality in modern power system monitoring schemes. In this track, the main motivation to this new generation of adaptive traveling wave-based algorithms will be presented, highlighting lessons learned from recent proposals and from field experiences.
