AbstractNowadays, phasor measurement units have many applications in the power network. Fault location using the network’s impedance matrix and phasor measurement units (PMU) is a subject that has been recently brought to the location light. In this research, we review the effect of the increased number of PMUs on the precision of the fault location. The method presented in this study uses the impedance transferring between these units and the fault location based on the fault distance. In the suggested method, the uncertainty on the network’s parameters has been considered and using the least-squares of faults, we can obtain the most optimal response. The advantage of this method is that it is not affected by the fault type and resistance of the short connection. In the end, the suggested method is implemented on the 14 bus distribution network and its performance has been evaluated.

AbstractBi-directional information and energy flow, renewable energy sources, battery energy storage, electric vehicle, self-healing capability, and demand response programs, etc., revolutionized the traditional distribution network into the smart distribution network. Adoption of modern technologies like intelligent meters such as advanced metering infrastructure & Micro-phasor measurement units, data storage, and analysis techniques and incentive-based electricity trading mechanisms can bring this paradigm shift. This study presents an overview of popular technologies that facilitate this transformation, giving focus on some prime technologies such as real-time monitoring based on Micro-phasor measurement units, data storage and analytics, blockchain technology, multi-agent systems, and incentive-based energy trading mechanisms

Automatic fault location on the distribution system is a necessity for a resilient grid with fast service restoration after an outage. Motivated by the development of low cost synchronized voltage phasor measurement units (PMUs) for the distribution system, this paper describes how PMU data during a fault event can be used to accurately locate faults on the primary distribution system. Rather than requiring many specialized line sensors to enable fault location, the proposed approach leverages a PMU data stream that can be used for a variety of applications, making it easier to justify the investment in fault location. The accuracy of existing automatic fault location techniques are dependent either on dense deployments of line sensors or unrealistically accurate models of system loads. This paper demonstrates how synchronized voltage measurements enable sufficiently accurate fault location with relatively few instrumentation devices and relatively low fidelity system models. The IEEE 123 bus distribution feeder is examined as a test case, and the proposed algorithm is demonstrated to be robust to variations in total load and uncertainty in the response of loads to voltage sags during a sample set of varied fault conditions.
