Abstract: This paper presents a wavelet-SVM (support vector machine) combined approach for digital relaying. The proposed algorithm for fault location employs wavelet transform together with SVM. Computer simulations using MATLAB have been conducted for a 300 km, 400 kV line. The SVM has been trained using simulated data to give desired output for fault locations for faults at any unknown dis…
