Fault Location of Active Distribution Networks Based on the Golden Section Method

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of fault location in distribution networks with distributed energy resources (DERs), a fault location method based on the concepts of minimum fault reactance and golden section is proposed in this paper. Considering the influence of distributed energy resource supply on fault point current in distribution networks, an improved trapezoidal iteration method is proposed for load flow analysis and fault current calculation. This method only needs to measure the synchronous current of the distributed energy resource and does not need to measure the voltage information. Therefore, the investment in equipment is reduced. Validation is made using the IEEE 34-node test feeder. The simulation results show that the method is suitable for fault location of distribution networks with multiple distributed generators. This method can accurately locate the faults of the active distribution network under different conditions.

“…The golden section method is a one-dimensional search algorithm [ 22 ]. In the multidimensional case, one parameter is guaranteed to be optimal first, then the next one-dimensional optimal search is carried out, and finally all the best parameters are searched.…”

“…In this paper, we need to consider the search speed and the accuracy and reliability of the results, so in Powell algorithm the golden section method is used to search the spatial transformation parameters of the complete cartilage floating image. e golden section method is a one-dimensional search algorithm [22].

A Review on Challenges in DC Microgrid Planning and Implementation

“…In high-voltage DC transmission, traveling wave based time-dependent fault identification methods are adopted, which locate the fault by analyzing the traveling waves that propagate along the transmission line [102]. Even though advantageous, these methods face a fair share of difficulties such as the need for highly accurate detection of the time of arrival of the surge and high-performance data acquisition equipment [103]. Another issue is reflected wave detection and discrimination [104].…”

Employment of Intelligent Predictive Maintenance on Thermal Power Plant Component Parts Taking Condenser Vacuum as a Case Study

“…In the literature abounds the applications of ML in facilities other than power systems (Bahri et al, 2009;Brahm de Jong, 2015;Bayoumi and McCaslin, 2017;Vuyyuru, 2018;Ahmad et al, 2018;Pai et al, 2019;Long et al, 2020;Niyonambaza et al, 2020;Girit et al, 2021;Miao, 2021;Li et al, 2021;Wei et al, 2021). In similarly vein, Hua et al (2020), Olesen and Shaker (2020) and Yang et al (2020) are instances of several cases of deploying ML in power systems infrastructures other than thermal generating plants. In Hua et al (2020), a maintenance and operation optimization method to tackle the challenges associated with traditional photovoltaic (PV) power plant maintenance and the convergence speed and optimization ability were considerably improved by defining an appropriate fitness function using the ML method.…”
