Abstract : Despite advancements in technology, power system faults leading to electric power interruption remain a significant issue. Efficient restoration of the power system relies on the swift classification and clearance of faults. Among the various types of faults in transmission lines, open circuit and short circuit faults are commonly encountered. This study specifically focuses on the analysis of five types of short circuit faults: line-to-line, line-to-ground, double line-to-ground, triple line, and triple line-to-ground faults. Faults can cause both power failure and power loss in transmission lines. Once a fault occurs, it is crucial to restore electricity supply promptly to prevent further losses. Therefore, the development of a system capable of accurately and swiftly detecting and removing faults is essential. Traditionally, categorizing transmission line faults required sophisticated mathematical modeling, intricate signal processing techniques, and expert knowledge to interpret the output signals. In this paper, an alternative approach is proposed, utilizing deep learning techniques for transmission line fault classification. Specifically, the paper employs techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN), long short-term memory (LSTM), with and without window regression (WR). By implementing these deep learning techniques, automatic feature extraction and signal processing are achieved, streamlining the fault classification process. The experimental results obtained from this study demonstrate an accuracy of 42.98% for ANN, 99.98% for LSTM, and 99.99% for LSTM-WR. These outcomes underscore the effectiveness of the deep learning techniques employed in accurately classifying transmission line faults, with LSTM and LSTM-WR outperforming ANN in terms of accuracy.
