N2 - In this article, the main problem under investigation is the detection and diagnosis of short-circuit faults in power transmission lines. The proposed fault detection (FDD) approach is mainly based on principal component analysis (PCA). The proposed fault diagnosis/identification (FAI) approach is mainly based on sliding-window versions of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and discrete Hilbert transform (DHT). The main contributions of this article are (a) a fault detection approach based on principal component analysis in the two-dimensional scores space; and (b) a rule-based fault identification approach based on human expert knowledge, combined with a probabilistic decision system, which detects variations in the amplitudes and frequencies of current and voltage signals, using DFT and DHT, respectively. Simulation results of power transmission lines in Portugal are presented in order to show the robust and high performance of the proposed FDD approach for different signal-to-noise ratios. The proposed FDD approach, implemented in Python, that can be executed online or offline, can be used to evaluate the stress to which circuit breakers (CBs) are subjected, providing information to supervision- and condition-based monitoring systems in order to improve predictive and preventive maintenance strategies, and it can be applied to high-/medium-voltage power transmission lines as well as to low-voltage electronic transmission systems.
