Recognition of the Single-Phase Ground Fault in Power Distribution System

Abstract:

For power distribution systems, recognizing the single-phase ground fault is very difficult because there are several faults with similar features. This paper presents a novel method that can help to overcome this difficulty. The idea is to turns the original fault info into a whole system with transient state, steady state and transition state. Theoretical analysis, computer simulation and lab experiments verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
