Fault Location Method in Complex Power Network Based on Power Quality Monitoring Data

Abstract:

In this paper, a fault location method using power quality monitoring data is proposed. The fault location is divided into two classes including fault line recognition and fault distance calculation. Along the each power line in the target network some fictitious fault points are set and the fault voltage of each monitoring bus is calculated. The voltage dip calculation results and the fault line data are matched to form the learning samples and then train the designed fault line recognition BP artificial neural network. The trained neural network searches the fault line when actual fault occurs. After it finishes fault line searching the fault position is calculated using the function of voltage dip amplitude and fault position. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by the simulation results in standard IEEE-14 bus system.
