The conventional approaches to distribution network fault location has certain drawbacks in terms of complexity, especially the fault occurred in the branch lines. In this paper, a novel fault location method based on D-type traveling wave was proposed. This method choose the measurement point which the initial traveling waves first reached as the reference measurement point, and the distance between multiple failure points received a fault traveling wave signal to the reference measurement point was calculated. Then, the maximum distance between multiple failure points to the reference measurement point was selected as location of the final failure point. The simulation result with ATP simulation software and MATLAB software show that the proposed method can achieve fault location fast and accurately within a very short period. Compared with the existing algorithms, this method was consistent whether the fault occurred in the main line or branch lines, which improved the accuracy and reliability of the traveling wave fault location in distribution network.

The Impact

In the distribution network fault location, the impact of information distortion needs to be to focus on, especially when the short-circuit current is used as the fault information. Considering the distortion or failure of real-time information and other issues, the quick location method of the failure point in distribution network is analyzed. Based on the mathematical model of distribution network fault location, firefly algorithm is applied. According to the characteristics of fault location objective function in distribution network, convergence criterion is proposed, which is suitable for fault location mathematical model.

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.

Based on the analysis of the transient process of the electric line’s developing ground fault, this paper applies the oppositely-directed travelling wave fault location method to fault location in distribution network. Simultaneously, this paper chooses proper wavelet generating functions to find the modulus maximum of oppositely-directed travelling waves and summarizes the methods and steps of this oppositely-directed travelling wave fault location. Finally, PSCAD/EMTDC is used to simulate the single-phase ground fault to verify the oppositely-directed travelling wave fault location method.
