Abstract

Power system faults are unwelcome events which pose a safety, technical and social hazard. Power system operators are under increasing pressure from customers and regulators to maintain high levels of power system reliability. Appropriate fault identification and classifications is a crucial part of power system operation and management. This paper proposes a method for identification and classification of faults in 10 kV isolated distribution network. The proposed method uses three line voltages, available at the substation as input variable and returns the fault code as the output variable for all ten shunt fault types, as the output variable. Classification is based on the fuzzy system with three input variables and one output variable. Results show that proposed system can detect low resistance faults with 100% accuracy for all then shunt fault types that can occur in electric power distribution network. The input data (voltage waveforms) are generated in simulations performed on a model of realistic distribution system in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
