A simple faulted phase-based fault distance estimation algorithm for a loop distribution system

Abstract

This paper presents a single ended faulted phase-based traveling wave fault localization algorithm for loop distribution grids which is that the sensor can get many reflected signals from the fault point to face the complexity of localization. This localization algorithm uses a band pass filter to remove noise from the corrupted signal. The arriving times of the faulted phase-based filtered signals can be obtained by using phase-modal and discrete wavelet transformations. The estimated fault distance can be calculated using the traveling wave method. The proposed algorithm presents detail level analysis using three detail levels coefficients. The proposed algorithm is tested with MATLAB simulation single line to ground fault in a 10 kV grounded loop distribution system. The simulation result shows that the faulted phase time delay can give better accuracy than using conventional time delays. The proposed algorithm can give fault distance estimation accuracy up to 99.7% with 30 dB contaminated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the nearest lines from the measured terminal.

“…The researcher examined the use of a traveling wave fault localization technique to identify faults in a loop distribution system using single ended fault detection. The suggested technique may be implemented in a 10 KV distribution system with a distance location accuracy of 99.7% and a signal-to-noise ratio of 30 db [25]. Chiradeja and Ngaopitakkul [26] presented a technique for identifying and pinpointing winding to ground problems in power transformers.…”

Design of storage benchmark kit framework for supporting the file storage retrieval

“…Hence, in real-time application, there will be multiple approaches as clear out or reading data from or to an individual Kafka client [14]. The synchronization of various threads minimizes the benchmark tool's robustness and it does not capable to clear out the amount of data to the Kafka client [15]. But in these research, additional process for performance improvement is automatically intricate a process like consumed much memory or computation cost.…”
