Abstract

Efficient detection of fault and location can increase the safety and Efficiency of electrical power systems. The fault in power systems can create other faults and outages in the network. Fault analysis includes fault detection, location, isolation of the faulted section from the network, and energy restoration as soon as possible. In this study, an innovative multi-agent system approach proposed for fault location in the electrical network. The smart agents collect the power data (Voltage and current at each point) between different power components (sources, bus, relays, loads) for fault location and efficiently control of circuit breakers operations to restore service in the power systems. The simulation results show the performance of the proposed techniques for fault location in the power system.
