“…However, these methods still not enough to carry out a full investigation of fault location in SGs over the distr tion domain. The contributions and increased value of this research can be summar Various authors also discuss various fault location techniques and methods for SGs and MGs, including impedance-based methods [6], traveling wave-based fault location methods [33], high-frequency component-based methods (S-transform) [34], knowledge-based methods [35], intelligent approaches [36,37], adoption methods with load estimation [38,39], location via SCADA systems, and a lot of intelligent electronic device (IED) data [40,41], as well as using intelligent devices like smart meters, smart sensors, phasor measurement units (PMU), and switching devices [42,43]. However, these methods are still not enough to carry out a full investigation of fault location in SGs over the distribution domain.…”
