This paper presents a fault location algorithm for three-terminal multisection nonhomogeneous transmission lines using synchronized phasor measurements (synchrophasors) obtained from GPS based PMUs or digital relays with embedded PMUs or off-line data synchronization algorithms. The algorithm is ext...
