Abstract
This paper presets a method including a combination of the wavelet transform and fuzzy function approximation (FFA) for high impedance fault (HIF) detection in distribution electricity network. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been used in this paper as a tool for signal analysis. With studying different types of mother signals, detail types and feeder signal, the best case is selected. The DWT is used to extract the best features. The extracted features have been used as the FFA Systems inputs. The FFA system uses the input-output pairs to create a function approximation of the features. The FFA system is able to classify the new features. The combined model is used to model the HIF. This combined model has the high ability to model different types of HIF. In the proposed method, different kind of loads including nonlinear and asymmetric loads and HIF types studied. The results show that the proposed method is able to distinguish no fault and HIF state with high accuracy.
