Finding the location of faults in distribution networks has been a long standing problem for
utility operators, and an interesting subject for researchers as well. In recent years …

This report discusses the challenges and complexities in protection design for microgrids
that have come into focus with the growth in the number and variety of microgrids being …

In this paper, a traveling wave based fault location method is proposed for distribution
networks. Before fault occurs, an intrinsic distance difference matrix (IDDM) is established …

This paper proposes a hybrid fault location method for smart distribution systems by using
available multi-source data, including data from protective devices, fault indicators (FIs) …

Generalized Impedance-Based Fault Location for Distribution Systems Page 1 IEEE

This paper proposes to combine the voltage monitoring capability of smart meters with
impedance-based fault location methods to provide an efficient fault location approach …

Distributed generations (DGs) with power electronic devices and their control loops will
cause distortion to the fault currents and result in errors for power frequency measurement …

Fault location in power system distribution networks is especially difficult because of the
existence of several laterals/tap-offs in distribution networks. This implies that the calculated …

This paper presents an automatic faulted line section location method for distribution
systems. It can be divided into two parts: faulted line section location method for medium …

This paper proposes a fault-section location method based on sparse measurements, aimed
at asymmetrical faults. A virtual current vector is defined to indicate the faulted section, which …
