Conventional fault location methods using voltages and currents of one terminal are not applicable to multiterminal transmission lines. So far some techniques have been presented to solve fault location problem for multi-terminal transmission lines. In these methods, lumped or distributed frequency domain models of transmission lines have been used. In multi terminal lines, faulty section shoul...

In this paper, an improved impedance based method has been proposed for fault location in power distribution network with presence of photovoltaic distributed generation resources. Within this method, current and voltage are measured at the beginning of feeder and at the location of distributed generation resources. The π line model is used for improving the accuracy of the suggested method....

With advances in computer networks, special attention has been paid to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Because of their wireless nature, the probability of the fault occurrence in such networks is high. There has been a lot of research conducted on the field of fault detection in WSN. Among the fault detection methods, the disturbed ones are more important because they outperform other methods ...

Accurate locating of fault in power distribution system (PDS) can significantly improve the reliability indices. In this paper, a new simple and practical method is proposed for estimating the section and distance of fault in PDS. In the proposed method, at first the protective devises are allocated and then specially set in such a way that they are coordinated and the unique current pattern is...
