AbstractAccurate fault location in distribution systems greatly shortens maintenance time and improves reliability. This paper presents novel methods to pinpoint fault location and identify possible bad measurements for enhanced accuracy. It is assumed that network parameters and topology of the distribution network are available. The methods are applicable to a single fault as well as simultaneous faults and are applicable to both balanced and unbalanced networks. The methods utilize synchronized voltage and current phasor measurements to locate the fault. The methods are validated by simulation studies using the modified IEEE 34-Node Test System. Case studies have demonstrated that the methods are suitable for distribution systems with high penetration of distributed generations.
