Review of the Intelligent Diagnosis Methods for the Power Transmission Lines

Transmission line is an important part of the power system. Transmission line is often overwhelmed by mountains and ridges, and it is extremely susceptible to malfunctions caused by lightning, pollution, and icing. Therefore, for the fault diagnosis of the transmission line, the identification of the transmission line fault’s reason and location have become a major challenge. This article combs and summarizes the research on fault diagnosis of the transmission lines. Taking transmission line fault diagnosis as the research object, firstly, it’s analyzed the research value and existing challenges of the transmission line fault location. Then it’s sorted out the development background of current research work and the advantages of various diagnostic methods. Finally, it’s prospected the future research work to be carried out.
