1. Introduction

Transmission lines are essential to communication networks and electricity distribution systems. They are made of several kinds of conductors and are intended to direct the flow of energy from a source to a load [1]. Usually, online devices are used to monitor the real-time state acquisition of overhead transmission lines. This can be enhanced by employing directed transmission data technology to increase the network lifetime [2]. Short transmission lines were the majority of applications for direct secondary wire connections from instrument transformers to protection relays [3]. One major issue with energy transfer is the act of moving electrical power from one location to another over a considerable distance [4]. The extension of the lines over varied terrains and geographic regions makes them the most vulnerable to various types of atmospheric tragedies, which frequently cause faults in the line [5].
Numerous studies have been conducted on common transmission line faults, such as L-L, L-G, and 2L-G faults [6,7,8]. Syncrophoresor signals can be used to discover and identify these problems, hence enhancing power quality [7]. In three-phase transmission lines, the Fortescue Theorem has been used to evaluate symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults; the most common type of faults are single L-G faults [8]. A fault analysis model has been established to direct preventive efforts in light of the variety of sources of these defects, which include human activity and environmental elements [9]. Faults can cause power losses in transmission lines as well as power failures [10].
Fault identification in transmission lines is critical because it has the ability to create power interruptions and extend power outages. This is especially important given the increasing industrialization and electricity consumption that has resulted in a more complex power system network [11]. Advanced techniques like machine learning and deep learning have been found to considerably increase the accuracy and speed of fault identification [12]. When applied to high and medium voltage networks, these approaches have shown great promise and efficiency in fault detection [10]. To keep the electricity system running smoothly, transmission line defects must be detected and repaired quickly [13].
In line with this, the literature review explores the application of machine learning (ML) techniques in fault detection and classification (FDC) for power transmission lines. Specifically, it delves into the potential of various ML models to enhance FDC accuracy and efficiency. This review critically examines the methodologies and findings of key studies in the field, offering insights into the strengths and limitations of different approaches. Additionally, to facilitate understanding, a list of abbreviations commonly used in the reviewed literature is provided.

For transmission lines, a variety of fault locating, and detection methods have been put forth. Zhuang (2021) presents a noncontact method utilizing electro-optic field sensors [14], whereas Kumar (2019) recommends employing synchrophasor measurements to locate and categorize problems [7]. Fasihipour (2020) suggests a fault detection algorithm for TCSC-compensated lines [15], whereas Abu-Siada (2019) offers an affordable online method based on V-I locus diagrams [16]. These techniques have a number of advantages, including early failure identification and simplicity of use. It would be beneficial to investigate these techniques further for potential power system applications.
The crucial necessity of fault detection and classification in guaranteeing the dependability, security, and effectiveness of transmission lines in power systems is the driving force behind this literature study. The foundation of electrical grids are transmission lines, which make it easier to move electricity across great distances from sources of power supply to distribution networks and final consumers. Transmission lines, however, are prone to a number of problems, including insulation failures, line breakage, and short circuits, which can interfere with the power supply, harm equipment, and present safety risks.
Through a detailed examination of the body of research on fault detection and classification procedures for transmission lines, we expect to learn more about the most recent advances, methodologies, and industry best practices in this critical area. Developing robust and efficient strategies for early fault diagnosis, localization, and mitigation necessitates a grasp of the advantages and disadvantages of various fault detection approaches, including impedance-based, wavelet transform-based, and artificial intelligence-based procedures.
Furthermore, because modern power systems are becoming more complicated and because renewable energy sources and smart grid technology are becoming increasingly integrated, problem detection and classification techniques must be continuously improved. Through this literature review, we hope to identify new trends, opportunities, and issues facing the industry that will help to strengthen the resilience and reliability of transmission line networks in the face of shifting operational and environmental conditions.

This table presents recent research in FDC for power transmission lines, showcasing several innovative techniques, each with its own advantages and limitations. One approach utilizes phase angle-based methods employing IPA estimation and DFT. This method boasts precise fault identification and robustness against measurement errors and current transformer saturation. However, its real-world implementation requirements and effectiveness under diverse operating conditions remain unclear and warrant further investigation.
Another promising technique combines DWT with DFT and SE computation for fault detection in UPFC transmission lines. This method achieves efficient fault detection within a single cycle. However, the lack of comprehensive validation under real-world conditions and a clear definition of the benchmarks used for comparison limit its current applicability. Similarly, a separate study proposes a DWT-based fault detection technique that exhibits promising fault discrimination and robustness. However, similar to the previously mentioned methods, this approach requires further verification and testing in real-world scenarios to assess its effectiveness and adaptability in practical applications.
Furthermore, a method combining DWT with NB classifiers proves effective for fault detection and classification in shunt-compensated transmission lines. While this approach demonstrates effectiveness, its accuracy under real-world noise conditions and generalizability to complex power systems with various configurations pose challenges that need to be addressed.
Additionally, MODWT method provides a complete fault identification and classification capability in the field of fault detection techniques. Its potential for practical deployment is highlighted by its successful implementation in an actual 400 kV dual-circuit transmission line network, noise resistance, and short time delay. However, concerns over the method's scalability and adaptability to different network designs are raised by its concentration on particular transmission line topologies in Chhattisgarh. Furthermore, the complexity of implementation raises the possibility that additional analysis of scalability, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with current infrastructure is necessary, especially in light of two-stage development and fault classifier algorithms.
Moreover, a viable method for identifying defects in HVDC transmission lines is the independent application of DWT. Its potential utility is highlighted by its proven dependability and versatility in accommodating different fault scenarios on HVDC lines. Nevertheless, much thought should be given to potential computing difficulties and applicability restrictions to various transmission networks or failure scenarios. Furthermore, in real-time implementation or resource-constrained contexts, the computing needs of the approach and the requirement for expertise in signal processing may present difficulties.
Finally, using PMUs to detect faults provides a thorough method that makes use of voltage and current data to precisely pinpoint fault circumstances. Fault circumstances can be properly diagnosed and categorized using a two-stage procedure that involves PSVM, PSCADs, and PSCM. Even though it has been successful in identifying short circuit faults, its drawbacks—such as its need on the availability of PMU infrastructure and its complicated implementation—make more testing and improvement necessary. Furthermore, the method's incapacity to identify open circuit failures without alterations points to potential areas for further investigation to expand its applicability to a wider variety of fault scenarios and transmission line topologies.

This table shows previous studies proposing various novel deep learning-based approaches for FDC in power transmission systems. The first method utilizes DRNNs with LSTM units within a SDL framework. This approach demonstrates exceptional performance in fault region identification, type classification, and location prediction. However, its reliance on synchrophasor data may limit its applicability to systems lacking this infrastructure, raising concerns regarding scalability and generalizability across diverse grid configurations.
Conversely, a CapsNet with SF exhibits remarkable performance, surpassing 99% accuracy in FDC tasks even under challenging conditions. However, the evaluation primarily focused on simulated datasets, and the discussion surrounding practical implementation hurdles and generalizability remains limited. Similarly, a SAT-CNN combined with DWT showcases promising adaptability and robustness. Nonetheless, a comprehensive evaluation of its real-world deployment challenges and generalization to various system configurations is currently lacking.
Furthermore, an End-to-End ML approach offers flexibility and delivers strong performance across diverse fault scenarios. Nevertheless, further investigation is necessary to assess its efficacy in real-world applications, particularly regarding computational load considerations.
Moreover, the GCNN offers a new method by enabling the creation of a model for graph classification and incorporating topological information into the identification and classification of faults. This model exhibits potential for reliable and quick fault detection, as evidenced by its excellent accuracy and generalizability across a range of problem scenarios and settings. However, the need for more research indicates possibilities for future study and development in the fields of edge weighting systems and graph convolution flexibility.
Additionally, when it comes to detecting internal DC faults in bipolar HVDC transmission lines, the KMDD method excels in terms of accuracy and dependability. With less dependence on linked devices and communication lines, its accuracy and stability are enhanced by its flexibility, adaptability, and resistance to outside mistakes. The necessity for additional improvement and validation in practical environments is highlighted by restrictions on sample frequency and the ability to record high-frequency transient occurrences.
Finally, the Faster R-CNN algorithm solves the issues of human inspection and dataset standardization, providing great opportunities for automated identification of transmission line defects. This model shows promise for real-world implementation with the creation of specific datasets and reduced false detection rates. However, there is a need for continued study to improve applicability and reliability due to limits in accurate component categorization, representativeness, and dataset coverage.

    Summary:
    Examining fault localization, classification, and detection in power transmission networks using PMUs demonstrates a wide range of approaches and algorithms designed to increase protection systems' dependability and effectiveness. A key method that makes use of the symmetrical characteristics of electrical networks to precisely identify and categorize defects is symmetrical component analysis.
