Fault Location for Distribution Networks Based on Node Voltage Equation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Proposed a single end fault location algorithm based on fault distance distribution function to implement fault location for isolated neutral system. Based on bus impedance matrix, establish fault distance distribution function adapted to all kind of asymmetric shorted fault in insulated neutral system. Combine the voltage sag data measured at substation to determine the most possible fault point through data matching and analysis. The method can implement fault location for all kind of asymmetric shorted fault and doesnt need much iterative procedure. Also, it is applicable to complicated systems with multi-branch and is quite robust to load variations. Simulation results for a 10Kv typical distribution network verify the validity of the method.
