Fault Line Selection and Section Location of Distribution Network Based on S-Transform and Zero-Sequence Reactive Power

Abstract:

An approach of fault line selection and section location based on S-Transform transient energy integrated with zero-sequence reactive direction is proposed. Fault information of zero-sequence currents collected by each feeder terminal unit (FTU) were uploaded to the main station on the use of real-time communication technologies,and then the main station take analysis for the whole network fault information, using S-transform to obtain the main characteristic frequency of the signal, then compare the transient energy and zero-sequence reactive direction of each feeder line of the frequency to achieve fault line selection. According to the difference of waveform in front and back of the fault point in the fault line,using this above method to realize section location. The simulations and analysis demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of this approach , and its not affected by fault close angle, noise and other factors.
