When a fault occurs in a section or a component of a given power system, the malfunctioning of protective relays (PRs) and circuit breakers (CBs), and the false and missing alarms, may manifestly complicate the fault diagnosis procedure. It is necessary to develop a methodologically appropriate framework for this application. As a branch of stochastic programming, the well-developed chance-constrained programming approach provides an efficient way to solve programming problems fraught with uncertainties. In this work, a novel fault diagnosis analytic model is developed with the ability of accommodating the malfunctioning of PRs and CBs, as well as the false and/or missing alarms. The genetic algorithm combined with Monte Carlo simulations are then employed to solve the optimization model. The feasibility and efficiency of the developed model and method are verified by a real fault scenario in an actual power system. In addition, it is demonstrated by simulation results that the computation speed of the developed method meets the requirements for the on-line fault diagnosis of actual power systems.
