“…The procedure is time-consuming and sometimes difficult; especially when the FCIs have been muddied and are not cleaned periodically. Therefore, FCIs embedded with communication interfaces were proposed in [7][8][9] to enhance the performance of the conventional FCIs. Even then, the FCIs can only be used to detect whether a fault current occurs, it cannot provide other useful information such as the approximate magnitude of the fault current.…”

“…Among them, FCIs mounted on distribution line sections are used to indicate the short-circuit fault current flowing through the line sections and have been widely installed in distribution systems due to their lower cost [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. FCIs can reduce operation costs and service interruptions by identifying the faulted line section.…”

“…Fault location for distribution systems with DGs using the proposed MLFCIsProposed MLFCI-based FMSIn the past, many algorithms have been proposed for fault location[6][7][8][9][19][20][21][22]. The conventional FCI-based FMS is one of the…”

“…FCI can use reed switch for fault detection. The magnetic field around a conductor induced by the fault current flowing through will trigger the reed switch in the FCI and produce signs such as the change of mechanical flag and/or the flash of LED for short-circuit fault indication [6][7][8][9]. Although the conventional FCIs are useful, maintenance staffs need to walk along the distribution feeder to check the FCIs' signs for fault location.…”

“…Although the conventional FCIs are useful, sectionalizing the distribution system to determine the fault location in an actual distribution system is still a time-consuming procedure after a fault occurs, especially when the FCIs have not been cleaned periodically and have become muddied. Therefore, an FCI with communication interfaces has been extensively proposed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional FCIs [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Among those published papers, Reference [9] proposed a multilevel FCI with a plurality of reed switches used to detect different current levels and to locate faults for distribution systems with distributed generators.…”

Systematic Effectiveness Assessment Methodology for Fault Current Indicators Deployed in Distribution Systems

Fault Current Indicators (FCIs) with communication interfaces have been widely used in distribution systems to reduce fault-finding time. The effectiveness of a Fault Management System (FMS) composed of FCIs greatly depends on the performance of the communication network deployed by the FCIs and the failure rates of distribution systems. The conventional techniques only focus on the issues of optimal number and location of FCIs or communication network deployment individually; therefore, the effectiveness of an FMS cannot be assessed realistically. A systematic effectiveness assessment methodology for FMS considering the performance of the communication network deployed by the FCIs and the failure rates of distribution systems is vital and is investigated in this paper. A communication evaluation platform is designed in this paper and used to acquire the field measurements of communication parameters. The communication parameters, especially the Packet Success Rate (PSR), between two adjacent FCIs are measured, and the Probability Density Function (PDF) of the PSR can be built accordingly. The effectiveness of the FMS is then assessed by stochastic analysis considering the failure rates of the distribution system and PSR PDFs between two adjacent FCIs. Due to the characteristics of easy installation, maintenance, longer battery life, lower cost, and so on of ZigBee, the ZigBee-based FCI is mainly discussed in this paper. In order to efficiently find the communication route when a fault occurs, a fast communication route tracking method is also proposed in this paper and its feasibility is demonstrated in an actual distribution system. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed systematic effectiveness assessment methodology for an FMS composed of FCIs. The proposed assessment methodology can more realistically react to the actual conditions of the FMS and therefore save on installation time and costs.
