Systems, methods, and apparatus for locating possible fault locations in an electrical power network

摘要

Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for locating possible fault locations in an electrical power network. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for locating possible fault locations in an electrical power network. The method can include receiving fault information including one or more of: an identifier associated with at least one tripping device or a fault impedance value associated with a faulted section of the electrical power network; determining a fault direction; and generating a list of possible fault locations based at least in part on the received fault information and the fault direction.

主权项

1. A method for locating possible fault locations in an electrical power network, the method comprising:
receiving fault information comprising an identifier associated with at least one tripping device and a fault impedance value associated with a faulted section of the electrical power network; determining a fault direction; generating a list of possible fault locations based on the received fault information and the fault direction, wherein the list of possible fault locations comprises a location of one or more line segments and a percentage value within each of the one or more line segments where a fault may have occurred; and determining an exact location of one or more actual faults based on the list of possible fault locations, the location of the one or more line segments, and the percentage value within each of the one or more line segments.
