Fault Line Selection in Distribution Networks Based on Parameter Identification in Frequency Domain

Article Preview

Abstract:

The distribution network is mostly the ungrounded neutral system or the resonant grounded system in many countries. Selecting the fault line as soon as possible is of great significance to power systems. This paper proposes a parameter identification method in frequency domain to solve this problem. By using the matrix pencil method to extract frequency-points and their information in zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current, spectral leakage in DFT is avoided. With the estimated frequency points, an equation in frequency domain is established which will help to calculate the capacitance value and thus to identify the fault line. This method requires a low sampling rate and has high accuracy. In addition, the frequency-band in this new method is wider than the SFB's frequency-band. Verified by simulation in ATP-EMTP and data from RTDS, the new method is quite effective in fault line selection with an ability to overcome transition resistor and is immune from the impact of arc-suppression.
