When faults in the distribution network occur, they usually last for a period of time, but if cannot be detected and eliminated in time, the faults can easily expand or even cause systemic collapse. Therefore, early fault detection of distribution grid is very important for ensuring the safe operation of the system. The existing fault diagnosis approaches based on the physical mechanism model have great limitations. This paper presents an early fault detection approach based on large-dimensional matrix ring law. We first construct a spatio-temporal data matrix by using the data from the spatial multi-node of the distribution network. The moving data window method and the ring law are used to track the data behavior, and the mean spectral radius is used to characterize the data behavior. According to the test results of the IEEE standard bus system, our approach is robust to system random fluctuations and measuring errors and can identify abnormal conditions at the earliest stage of failure.
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.
