Abstract In order to solve the problems existing in the traditional relay protection methods, such as poor relay safety and large fault location error of distribution network, this paper proposes a multilevel differential relay protection method based on feeder segment switch. The configuration principle and the selection principle of multilevel range are determined, and the objective function of multilevel difference distribution network feeder segment switch configuration is set. After considering the target of economic benefit, the main feeder of distribution network is segmented and a contact switch is set at the end of the feeder. The equivalent topology of multilevel differential distribution network is analyzed to make the power supply at the first end of the line connected with the substation, which is regarded as the ideal voltage source. Considering the jurisdiction index of the switch, greedy algorithm is adopted to optimize the switch configuration of feeder segment. This paper analyzes the protection misoperation of multilevel differential distribution network and the sensitivity of feeder segment switch to realize the relay protection of multilevel differential distribution network. The experimental results show that the proposed method has higher safety and lower fault location accuracy, and is feasible to some extent.

Abstract In view of the large scale distributed power distribution network, distribution network from the traditional single main transformer power supply system becomes more complex broken power supply network, the trend of the distribution network flow and network frame produced change, failure fault feature information of great change, the traditional distribution network fault location method can not accurately obtain the location of the fault zone, the low accuracy of fault location, the error bigger problem a new fault location method of active distribution network combining graph theory and matrix was proposed. According to the knowledge of graph theory, the distribution network is simplified to topology diagram and described in the form of matrix, and then the fault judgment matrix is obtained through a series of matrix addition operation, and the type of fault interval can be identified accurately and quickly by combining the fault criterion table. The simulation results show that this method is simple in principle, fast and effective in criterion, suitable for the flexible operation mode of active distribution network structure, can accurately and quickly determine the fault segment, and can meet the requirements of complex distribution network fault location.

Purpose An electrical power distribution network is expected to deliver uninterrupted power supply to the customers. The disruption in power supply occurs whenever there is a fault in the system. Therefore, fast fault detection and its precise location are necessary to restore the power supply. Several techniques are proposed in the past for fault location in distribution network but they have limitations as their fault location accuracy depends on system conditions. The purpose of this paper is to present a travelling wave-based fault location method, which is fast, accurate and independent of system conditions. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes an effective method for fault detection, classification and location using wavelet analysis of travelling waves for a multilateral distribution network embedded with distributed generation (DG) and electric vehicle (EV) charging load. The wavelet energy entropy (WEE) is used for fault detection and classification purpose, and wavelet modulus maxima (WMM) of aerial mode component is used for faulted lateral identification and exact fault location. Findings The proposed method effectively detects and classifies the faults, and accurately determines the exact fault location in a multilateral distribution network. It is also found that the proposed method is robust and its accuracy is not affected by the presence of distributed generation and electric vehicle charging load in the system. Originality/value Travelling wave based method for fault location is implemented for a multilateral distribution network containing distributed generation and electric vehicle load. For the first time, a fault location method is tested in the presence of EV charging load in distribution network.

With the continuous increase of DC load, the research of DC distribution network has been developed rapidly. Compared with the traditional AC distribution network, DC distribution network has the advantages of less conversion times, high efficiency, low cost, simple control structure, no need to consider the frequency and phase and reactive power compensation equipment. Compared with AC distribution network, DC distribution network has more flexible operation mode and less power supply points However, the more flexible operation mode of DC distribution network also brings the problem of fault location and self-healing. The fault location, isolation and self-healing control strategy of AC distribution network can not be applied to DC distribution network. In this paper, a high-speed fault location, isolation and self-healing method for DC distribution network is proposed. Based on high-speed goose communication, a comprehensive evaluation is carried out according to the fault status of the power grid, and the millisecond level fault location, isolation and self-healing of DC distribution network are completed. The coordinated control equipment based on this method is successfully applied in Tongli integrated energy service center. When the fault occurs in this area, uninterrupted power supply is realized in the non fault area, which verifies the correctness and practicability of this method.
