Sensitivity assessment of a novel earth fault location method with optimally placed distributed measurements for MV networks

Résumé

This paper extends the study of a zero-sequence impedance-based fault location method (FLM) designed for medium voltage (MV) distribution feeders whose principle has been presented in a previous work Bach et al. This method is able to locate any type of earth fault with any type of neutral grounding inside a convex set of nodes forming the solution area. The total length of the lines inside this area is statistically computable a priori and depends only on the number and location of additional voltage measurements deployed on some remote end secondary substations. To be efficiently applied to the most challenging rural feeders presenting a lot of ramifications, simulations have shown a need for synchronized measurements, such as the ones obtained using phasor measurement units. Besides, this paper addresses the coupling potential of this method with more traditional ones such as Takagi-based FLMs to enhance the performances of both, solving the multiple estimation problem while potentially locating the fault within one node. Finally, an extensive sensitivity analysis has been carried out, showing a good robustness with respect to impedance estimation errors or fault impedance values while showing the need for synchronization, especially on some remote measurement locations.
