A Novel of Fault Localization Method to Determine Fault Distance for Single Line to Ground Fault in the Distribution Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel fault location algorithm in distribution networks based on combination of impedance based method is presented. The voltage sag and current swell from the measurement node are used as input data to estimate the fault distance. To improve the accuracy of the proposed method, the voltage sag and current swell in the un-faulted phase also considered. Test results using a large scale distribution network from Malaysia confirms the accuracy of the proposed method. A comparison is made with the existing method which shows that the proposed method gives more accurate fault distance.
