چکیده
Fault location has been studied deeply for transmission lines due to its importance in power systems. Nowadays the problem of fault location on distribution systems is receiving special attention mainly because of the power quality regulations. In this context, this paper analyses the influence of the capacitance of cables and compensation capacitor banks when impedance-based algorithms are used to calculate the location of single-line-to-ground (SLG) faults,

Detection of high impedance faults in distribution networks using Discrete Fourier Transform
In this paper, a new method for extracting dynamic properties for High Impedance Fault (HIF) detection using discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is proposed. Unlike conventional methods that use features extracted from data windows after fault to detect high impedance fault, in the proposed method, using the disturbance detection algorithm in the network, the normalized changes of the selected fea...
متن کاملCross Entropy-Based High-Impedance Fault Detection Algorithm for Distribution Networks
The low fault current of high-impedance faults (HIFs) is one of the main challenges for the protection of distribution networks. The inability of conventional overcurrent relays in detecting these faults results in electric arc continuity that it causes the fire hazard and electric shock and poses a serious threat to human life and network equipment. This paper presents an HIF detection algori...
متن کاملFault 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...

Power distribution feeders contains many laterals, sub-laterals, different number of circuit line, load taps, balanced and unbalanced load, different type of lines (cable or overhead), different cross-sections and numerous distribution transformers with different capacities. Moreover, the voltage and current are measured only at the beginning of the feeder. Thus, fault location is very complex....
