A fault diagnosis method of power grids was presented based on grey relational analysis in this paper. For each suspected fault line in the power cut area, the grey relational of original characteristics sequence, amplitude and energy are calculated by using the current sampling value before and after the fault time. Then an active reference line was selected, followed by the calculation of the horizontal grey correlation between reference line and suspected fault line according to current sampling after the fault. Finally, the longitudinal grey relational degree and the horizontal grey relational degree of each line are weighted and fused to obtain their comprehensive grey relational degree, and the fault criterion is given to identify the faulty component accurately. The simulation results of the IEEE 14-node system show that the fault elements can be identified under different fault locations, various fault types and different transition resistances accurately.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
