Abstract: A new method has been introduced for classification of fault and to identify zone of fault in Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor based line by utilizing Decision Tree method. PSACD/EMTDC software is used in this paper for the simulation of TCSC. Voltage and current samples after fault are used in this method as input against predicted output vectors for zone identification of fault. Decision Tree based classification algorithm also used to classify all ten types of faults in the TCSC based line. This method is being tested on simulated data and the results indicate that this method can classify different types of faults and also identify zone of fault more accurately than any neural network systems in a TCSC based line.
