For fast and accurate faulty line selection (FLS) in single phase-to-ground (SPG) faults for resonant grounded distribution networks (RGDNs), this paper proposes a FLS method based on zero-sequence power characteristics. Through analysis of the zero-sequence current of SPG faults, it is found that the transient zero-sequence current in the faulty line contains abundant attenuated DC components, while that in the sound line is weak, which could be utilized as a technically practical way of judging faulty lines. Thus a FLS scheme using a transient zero-sequence DC component energy integral is put forward, which highlights the difference of the DC components in the faulty line and the sound line. A series of simulation test results indicate that the proposed scheme shows favorable performance under various SPG fault conditions, and should be helpful to improve the success rate of FLS significantly for RGDN in the future.

Abstract In view of the complex characteristics of nonlinearity and non-stableness of the zero-order current of each line after the single-phase ground fault of the distribution network, a distribution network fault selection method based on Sooty Tern Optimization Algorithm(STOA) and the combination of support vector machine is proposed. At first, the zero-sequence current before and after fault is obtained, then five kinds of IMFs including different components are obtained by ensemble empirical mode decomposition, and the energy entropy of the fault transient zero-sequence current is obtained by Hilbert transform, the results of training and testing are obtained by inputting the feature vector. The simulation results show that the accuracy of the proposed line selection model is 97.5%.

In this paper, two new methods for locating single-phase to ground faults in isolated neutral distribution networks are proposed. The methods are based on the analysis of symmetrical sequence currents. They are solely based on currents, not requiring voltage measurement. The first method employs only the zero sequence current and the second one utilizes the negative sequence current in combination with the zero sequence current. It is revealed why using only zero sequence current with a simple threshold is insufficient and may lead to false results. Using the proposed methods, earth faults with high resistances can be located in isolated neutral distribution networks with overhead lines or cables.

In order to find new fault line selection method of single-phase distribution network, First parallel resistance in the neutral point in order to increase the transient component of the fault line, obtained the line energy after the failure through the integral transform , initially selected probable fault lines , on this basis, decompose all the transient zero sequence currents in every line by separation based on nicer separate frequency characteristic of wavelet packets, to accurately determine the greatest fault line by the characteristic that the value of second singular point generated by zero sequence current is maximum and its polarity is opposite to the other normal lines, simulation results show the effectiveness and correctness of the method. So the method for detection of the fault line based on wavelet packets and the compare of energy is new and effective.
