Study on a Method of Single – Phase Grounding Fault Locating for Hybrid Transmission Line

Abstract:

It is difficult to achieve precise fault location for hybrid transmission line of distribution network, because it has wave impedance discontinuity point. Section location is the premises of precise location. On the basis of others’ research results, the matrix algorithm of distribution network single-phase ground fault section location is improved in the paper. It makes the sparse degree of matrix is higher, computation is less. An algorithm of recovery the network topology only based on the fault description matrix is suggested when the visualization data of a line network topology is loss or the operating is in the non-visual condition. The method is applied to revise fault description matrix, so that the matrix algorithm has some fault-tolerance. The applicability and validity of the improved algorithm was verified by an illustration. The method realizes the fault section location, and the subsequent accurate fault location is presented in this paper.
