Fault Location and Isolation Algorithm for Distribution Network with DGs

Abstract:

A novel fault location algorithm for distribution network with DGs (distributed generators) is proposed in this paper. According to the distribution network topology and current information of the switch, fault location can be realized accurately through matrix manipulations and criterion analysis in the algorithm. Based on the fault location, a simple method is proposed for the realization of fast fault isolation. Finally, the correctness and feasibility of the algorithm is validated through the analysis of the typical distribution network with DGs.
