This paper presents a new approach to locate shunt faults in power transmission lines using a two-layer Adaptive Linear Neural Network (ADALINE) in a two-end protection scheme. First, a transmission line with actual parameters is simulated in the PSCAD/EMTDC software and signals are fed to the MATLAB software to implement a real time adaptive filtering. In this approach, twoend unsynchronized measurements are used to estimate the unknown synchronization angle, fundamental frequency components using ADALINE. Finally, the distance to fault is calculated in a special process
