Considering that the direction of the node-voltage sensitivity vector is the same as the one of the node-voltage difference vector and also considering that the module of the node-voltage sensitivity vector presents the weight of the parameter of faulty element deviation relative to the voltage difference, fault dictionary is set up based on node-voltage sensitivity vectors. A decision algorithm is proposed concerned with both the location and the parameter difference of the faulty element. Single fault and multi-fault can be diagnosed while the circuit parameters deviate within the tolerance range of 10 %.展开更多
