Summary
Transmission line corridors traverse complex terrain and climatic conditions, making them prone to fault trips caused by natural factors. These faults severely threaten the safe and stable operation of the power grid as well as equipment reliability. Rapid, accurate, and reliable fault identification technology is crucial for improving line operation and maintenance. Distributed fault monitoring devices can capture traveling wave signals with distinct characteristics at the moment of a line fault, laying a foundation for accurate fault cause identification.

(external damage, icing, windage yaw, bird damage, etc.). By deeply mining time-frequency waveform features, a deep learning algorithm integrating Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory networks (BiLSTM), and a Self-attention mechanism (CNN-BiLSTM-SelfAttention) is constructed for fault classification. After sample balancing, the overall fault recognition accuracy is improved from 82.6% to 96.2%. The proposed fast fault diagnosis method features high precision and reliability, which shortens fault recovery time, optimizes operation and maintenance, and supports transmission line accident prevention.
