To expedite the process of achieving an optimalconfiguration of measurement points, this paper presents an optimal configuration scheme for fault locationmeasurement points in DC distribution networks based on an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm.Initially, a measurement point distribution optimization model is formulated, leveraging compressive sensing.The model aims to achieve the minimum number of measurement points while attaining the best compressivesensing reconstruction effect. It incorporates constraints from the compressive sensing algorithm and networkwide viewability. Subsequently, the traditional particle swarm algorithm is enhanced by utilizing the Haltonsequence for population initialization, generating uniformly distributed individuals. This enhancement reducesindividual search blindness and overlap probability, thereby promoting population diversity. Furthermore, anadaptive t-distribution perturbation strategy is introduced during the particle update process to enhance the globalsearch capability and search speed. The established model for the optimal configuration of measurement points issolved, and the results demonstrate the efficacy and practicality of the proposed method. The optimal configurationreduces the number of measurement points, enhances localization accuracy, and improves the convergence speedof the algorithm. These findings validate the effectiveness and utility of the proposed approach.展开更多

A new distance protection method is developed to locate the fault in a transmission line compensated with STATCOM with simple calculations. The proposed protection method considers the STATCOM injected/absorbed current to correct the fault loop apparent impedance and accordingly calculates the actual distance to the fault location. The comprehensive equations needed for apparent impedance calculation are also outlined and the performance is evaluated and tested with a typical 400 KV transmission system for different fault types and locations using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The evaluation results indicate that the new protection method effectively estimates the exact fault location by mitigating the impact of STATCOM on distance relay performance with error less than 0.3%.展开更多

文摘The autotransformer(AT)neutral current ratio method is widely used for fault location in the AT traction power network.With the development of high-speed electrified railways,a large number of data show that the relation between the AT neutral current ratio and the distance from the beginning of the fault AT section to the fault point(Q-L relation)is mostly nonlinear.Therefore,the linear Q-L relation in the traditional fault location method always leads to large errors.To solve this problem,a large number of load-related current data that can be used to describe the Q-L relation are obtained through the load test of the electric multiple unit(EMU).Thus,an improved fault location method based on the back propagation(BP)neural network is proposed in this paper.On this basis,a comparison between the improved method and the traditional method shows that the maximum absolute error and the average absolute error of the improved method are 0.651 km and 0.334 km lower than those of the traditional method,respectively,which demonstrates that the improved method can effectively eliminate the influence of nonlinear factors and greatly improve the accuracy of fault location for the AT traction power network.Finally,combined with a shortcircuit test,the accuracy of the improved method is verified.

文摘In order to effectively solve the dead-zone and low-precision of T-shaped transmission line fault location,a new T-shaped transmission line fault location algorithm based on phase-angle jump checking is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the 3-terminal synchronous fundamental positive sequence voltage and current phasors are extracted and substituted into the fault branch distance function to realize the selection of fault branch when the fault occurs;Secondly,use the condition of the fundamental positive sequence voltage phasor at the fault point is equal to calculate all roots(including real root and virtual roots);Finally,the phase-angle jump check function is used for checking calculation,and then the only real root can be determined as the actual fault distance,thereby achieving the purpose of high-precision fault location.MATLAB simulation results show that the proposed new algorithm is feasible and effective with high fault location accuracy and good versatility.
文摘Determining the fault location using conventional impedance based distance relay in the presence of FACTS controllers is a challenging task in a transmission line. A new distance protection method is developed to locate the fault in a transmission line compensated with STATCOM with simple calculations. The proposed protection method considers the STATCOM injected/absorbed current to correct the fault loop apparent impedance and accordingly calculates the actual distance to the fault location. The comprehensive equations needed for apparent impedance calculation are also outlined and the performance is evaluated and tested with a typical 400 KV transmission system for different fault types and locations using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The evaluation results indicate that the new protection method effectively estimates the exact fault location by mitigating the impact of STATCOM on distance relay performance with error less than 0.3%.

文摘The partial differential equation(PDE)solution of the telegrapher is a promising fault location method among time-domain and model-based techniques.Recent research works have shown that the leap-frog process is superior to other explicit methods for the PDE solution.However,its implementation is challenged by determining the initial conditions in time and the boundary conditions in space.This letter proposes two implicit solution methods for determining the initial conditions and an analytical way to obtain the boundary conditions founded on the signal decomposition.The results show that the proposal gives fault location accuracy superior to the existing leap-frog scheme,particularly in the presence of harmonics.
文摘Precise fault location plays an important role in the reliability of modern power systems.With the in-creasing penetration of renewable energy sources,the power system experiences a decrease in system inertia and alterations in steady-state characteristics following a fault occurrence.Most existing single-ended phasor domain methods assume a certain impedance of the remote-end system or consistent current phases at both ends.These problems present challenges to the applicability of con-ventional phasor-domain location methods.This paper presents a novel single-ended time domain fault location method for single-phase-to-ground faults,one which fully considers the distributed parameters of the line model.The fitting of transient signals in the time domain is real-ized to extract the instantaneous amplitude and phase.Then,to eliminate the error caused by assumptions of lumped series resistance in the Bergeron model,an im-proved numerical derivation is presented for the distrib-uted parameter line model.The instantaneous symmet-rical components are extracted for decoupling and inverse transformation of three-phase recording data.Based on the above,the equation of instantaneous phase constraint is established to effectively identify the fault location.The proposed location method reduces the negative effects of fault resistance and the uncertainty of remote end pa-rameters when relying on one-terminal data for localiza-tion.Additionally,the proposed fault analysis methods have the ability to adapt to transient processes in power systems.Through comparisons with existing methods in three different systems,the fault position is correctly identified within an error of 1%.Also,the results are not affected by sampling rates,data windows,fault inception angles,and load conditions.
