Abstract
Abstract A new fault-locating scheme using the concept of characteristic vector is proposed. Utilizing digital overcurrent (O/C) relays, the proposed scheme can locate either a bus fault or a feeder fault by mapping corresponding fault current vector with the characteristic vectors in a pre-built database. By updating the characteristic vector database, the proposed scheme can be applied to the changed system as well, thereby achieving adaptive feature. No complex optimization technique is required. A simplified distribution system is employed to test the proposed scheme and its adaptive aspect. Test results show that the scheme has very good performance.
