Abstract:

Since distributed power supply is connected to distribution networks on a large scale, its topology and components are becoming more and more complex. As the direction of fault current at feeder switches is difficult to determine, a new matrix algorithm for equivalent decoupling fault location in complex distribution networks is proposed in this paper. In order to simplify the topology of complex distribution network effectively, the distribution network is decoupled according to the principle of depth priority to make it a network composed of tree trunks. A new fault-location matrix algorithm for complex distribution network is presented to solve the problem of large computation and complex steps in fault-location matrix algorithm for complex distribution network. Compared with traditional matrix algorithm, this method is more accurate for T-section and terminal section of power network fault location. Finally, through the typical park distribution network model and the improved IEEE 33-node system case, the method proposed in this paper can not only locate the faults in the distribution network, but also simplify the complex distribution network structure. Compared with the traveling wave method, the proposed method shortens the locating time and has better application value.
