At present, with the continuous development of the energy of the Internet, traveling wave location device upgraded to the provincial Internet, the provincial Internet provides a good data platform to realize the network fault location. Focusing on the analysis of the network characteristics in traveling wave, this paper puts forward a method of local wave adaptive traveling wave fault location based on Extremum Field Mean Mode Decomposition (EMMD). This method effectively restrains the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) overshoot and undershoot phenomenon in the process of decomposition and proposes a method of adding Complementary Noise based on EEMD (CEEMD) for mode aliasing. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a set of field fault recorder data.
