Distribution High Impedance Fault Detection Utilizing High Frequency Current Components

Fault Locating, Prediction and Protection (FLPPS)

“…The Texas A&M Algorithms: Texas A&M University has conducted some of the most extensive research on high impedance faults since the early 1980's [97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]. Through this period, several detection algorithms have been developed and tested on their high stage fault facilities.…”

Ensemble decision trees for high impedance fault detection in power distribution network

“…This is notable when remote source loading, fault resistance non-linearity, capacitive line currents, mutual coupling and back-feed effects are taken into consideration. HIF faults [3,4] are usually characterized by the ripple rich current harmonic content due to non-linearity and thus are abnormal events that frequently occur in distribution feeders.…”

Evaluation of a new proposal for an arcing fault detection method based on wavelet packet analysis

“…In the time domain, arc detection algorithms have been proposed based on arc current waveform [1] and on the random behaviour of the arc appearance [2]. In the frequency domain, using the Fourier Transform, several articles have been published based on harmonic components [3][4][5][6], interharmonic components [7] and high-frequency spectra [8]. Algorithms that monitor energy variations of the fault current also have been proposed [9,10].…”
