Fault Location Optimisation For Transmission Line Using Chaotic Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm

This paper proposes a novel fault location technique for a three phase transmission line based on Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm and Chaotic Concept. Chaotic Concept is integrated with Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm to improve the solution quality. A new chaotic algorithm motivated by the biological process of flight skills of hummingbirds and chaotic algorithm, known as the Chaotic Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm is put forward in this paper to accurately detect the point of fault occurrence in transmission line. The proposed algorithm has been checked using the Simulink model in MATLAB for a 400kV, 300km transmission line. Signals of voltages and currents are taken from the duo ends of the overhead transmitting wire. The algorithm suggested has been applied to various kinds of symmetrical and asymmetrical faults.
