Abstract :
Previous work has shown that the study of the electromechanical wave signature of a power system perturbation, such as a generator trip, can lead to an understanding of how to approximate the origin of the perturbation (R.M. Gardner, et al., 2006). In this paper, a brief synopsis of FNET is presented along with an analysis of generator tripping events. The analysis is comprised of several non-parametric event location methods and resulting observations. The eventual goal of this research is to formulate a robust event location algorithm that can be used online and in real-time to locate with sufficient accuracy the hypocenter of power system events irrespective of utility boundaries
