To guarantee the safety of power system operations, it is crucial to understand a de-energized power line’s status before restoring power. It is hypothesized that the Grid Resonance Probe (GRP) and De-Energized Line Testing Interface (DELTI) can be utilized to identify a faulted distribution line. Therefore, the project team is targeting development of a methodology to identify faulted distribution lines by using the DELTI system. In this R&D task, two field tests on Plum Island have been conducted, including DELTI tests with multiple configurations and fault scenarios. This report provides the analysis results of distribution line fault identification from the two field tests. In the remainder of this report, Section 1 is the introduction of the DELTI system, Section 2 provides the analyses of the two field tests in June and October of 2021, respectively, Section 3 discusses the existing line fault detection devices on market and how they compare to DELTI and Section 4 includes the lessons learned and recommendations for future work.

Argonne National Laboratory and Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute entered into this CRADA to perform safety experiments and assessment of experimental results in the area of the metal fuel behavior in severe accident conditions to support the Prototype Generation-IV Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (PGSFR) licensing process. The goal was to utilize the existing sodium facilities at ANL to perform experiments aimed at providing validation data associated with the source term determination and metal fuel characteristics which enables subcriticality and coolable geometry in postulated severe accident scenarios.
