This report aims to inform the project partners on the progress made in the desktop studies of accurate fault location technology using electromagnetic time reversal. The report covers a range of topics, including the modifications and improvements made to existing time reversal-based fault location methods, allowing for a thorough desktop study, a model of a rural REFCL feeder in Victoria, implementation of two fault location algorithms, and comparisons of each algorithms’ performance. The report will provide an understanding of the current state of the research, recommendations for which algorithm may be best suited for specific situations, and an overview of the performance of the two algorithms for different fault cases. The report will aid in making informed decisions about the implementation of these accurate fault location techniques in Australian power networks.
