• This paper proposes a fault location method based on composite traveling wave, which can easily eliminate the traveling wave from adjacent lines. • The traveling wave from other adjacent lines, which is never detailed discussed in previous research, hinders the accurate identification of wavefront. • The refraction coefficient of busbar with multiple transmission lines is negative for current traveling wave, but positive for reflection coefficient. • The time–frequency matrix is able to present the energy of traveling wave in wideband. As the speedy expansion of power gird, the traveling wave fault locator in substation may not always connect to newly added transmission lines in time, which reduces the effectiveness of fault locator. In this paper, an adjacent fault-free line based fault location scheme for newly additional line is proposed. Since the traveling wave from adjacent fault-free line results in severe difficulty for identification of traveling waves from faulty line, the time–frequency matrix is performed to screen traveling waves. Firstly, in order to remove the influence of waves from remote terminals of adjacent fault-free line, the current refraction coefficient is theoretically analyzed. Due to the negative refraction coefficient, traveling waves from remote terminals of adjacent fault-free line can be reduced by the proposed composite traveling wave. Secondly, the time–frequency matrices of composite traveling wave and original traveling wave is obtained by S-transform. Then, these matrices are applied to form ratio matrix which thoroughly eliminated waves from remote terminals of fault-free lines. Moreover, the robustness of the proposed fault location scheme is thoroughly validated by the simulation of PSCAD/EMTDC. Finally, the proposed fault location method has the great accuracy in simulation tests and field data test. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Being one of the most promising renewable energy sources, ocean wave energy (OWE) demonstrates considerable development and application potential. Consequently, various related technologies have rapidly advanced in recent decades, particularly in the field of wave energy converters (WEC). Power take-off (PTO) stands as a vital element within WEC systems. During the planning and implementation of WEC systems, diverse types of PTO systems and control strategies emerge as crucial factors that impact overall power output and stability. To comprehensively review PTO systems, this paper offers a comprehensive overview and discussion of state-of-the-art development status of PTO, including of based structures, working principles and control strategies. In contrast to prior reviews, a more thorough classification and comparison of different PTO systems have been undertaken in this review with the consideration of seven types of PTO systems in total and detailed control strategies for various PTO types. Besides, the proposed framework includes an evaluation and comparison of advantages/disadvantages, application, complexity, and costs for each controller. Lastly, seven invaluable perspectives are proposed for future research. • Summarize seven operation principles for PTOs. • Advantages/disadvantages, types, and applications e of PTOs are summarized. • Present in detail three types of advanced control strategies. • Six invaluable and insightful perspectives/recommendations are proposed.
