Faulted section identification is one of the most important function in distribution automation systems. Conventional over current detection based fault indicators frequently mal-operate due to the reverse fault current from the renewable energy resources. This paper present a new faulted section identification method based on the fuzzy decision making technique. In order to establish feasibility of the proposed method, case studies using Matlab Simulink has been performed.

The DAS(Distribution Atomization System) determines a faulted section by using a FI(Fault Indicator) when the fault is occurred on the distribution networks. Sometimes FI is malfunction when the ground fault is occurred on a the distribution networks. As a result difficulties to make decision of faulted section. The cause of the FI malfunction is that the determination using the limited information of the installed area. In this study, a method is proposed to determine faulted section using the amount of the fault current instead of using the FI. This method is determinated faulted section using the fuzzy inference for the collected information from the all switches. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation test using PSCAD/EMTDC.

본 논문은 방사상으로 운용중인 배전계통에 1선 지락 고장시 퍼지 로직 알고리즘을 이용하여 고장구간을 판단하는 기법에 대해 제안하고 있다. 배전계통에 1선 지락 고장 발생 시 선로불평형 전류에 의해 고장구간 이후의 자동화개폐기에서 고장표시기가 오동작을 한다. 이로 인해 고장구간을 잘못 판단하여 수용가에 전력공급의 신뢰성이 줄어든다. PSCAD/EMTDC라는 전력해석용 툴을 이용하여 배전계통 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 하였고, 개폐기의 영상전류 크기를 통해 퍼지 로직이라는 인공지능기법을 이용하여 정확한 고장구간을 판단하는 기법을 제안한다.

This paper proposes an improved fault indication algorithm in a distribution automation system. A conventional fault indication method, so called YES-NO algorithm, could generate wrong informations under certain conditions such as line to ground fault, large motor double circuit line. In order to prevent mal-operation of fault indicator, direction of fault current are used as well as magnitude. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm has been testified by computer simulation using Matlab power system toolbox.

Recently There has been growing interest in new renewable energy systems with high-energy efficiency due to the increasing energy consumption and environmental pollution problems. But an insertion of new distributed generation to existng power distribution systems can cause several problems such as voltage variations, harmonics, protective coordination, increasing fault current etc, because of reverse power. This paper was applied to fault location defecting a method as each Relay sensing fault current value and carried out short-circuit analysis by MATLAB and PSCAD/EMTDC programs and identity the faulted section o f22.9[kV] distribution system interconnected a large number of distributed generation. The existing protection system of 22.9[kV] power distribution system analyzed and the study on protective coordination recloser and Sectionalzer accomplished
