Advanced Fault Location Algorithm and Impact on Optimized Repair Crew Dispatch
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fault management in distribution systems lacks effective solution because of the unavailability of sufficient measurement data and comprehensive tools for fault analysis. To improve fault management, a systematic approach that takes advantage of distribution-level Smart Grid technologies is proposed. The new approach executes very accurate fault locating first, and then advices system operators on optimized repair crew dispatch next. The benefits in implementing this approach is assessed by reduction in costs associated with fault management activities. Keywords-fault management, fault location, crew dispatch, distribution systems, outage management, risk analysis

Fault Location in Active Distribution Networks Using Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm
To realize the self-healing concept of smart grids, an accurate and reliable fault locator is a prerequisite. This paper presents a new fault location method for active power distribution networks which is based on measured voltage sag and use of whale optimization algorithm (WOA). The fault induced voltage sag depends on the fault location and resistance. Therefore, the fault location can be f...
متن کاملFuzzy Inference System Approach for Locating Series, Shunt, and Simultaneous Series-Shunt Faults in Double Circuit Transmission Lines
Many schemes are reported for shunt fault location estimation, but fault location estimation of series or open conductor faults has not been dealt with so far. The existing numerical relays only detect the open conductor (series) fault and give the indication of the faulty phase(s), but they are unable to locate the series fault. The repair crew needs to patrol the complete line to find the loc...
