Abstract:Faults in power distribution feeders cause damage to power utilities due to the deterioration of reliability and power quality indexes and the displacement of field maintenance teams to replace or repair power grid equipment. Additionally, consumer units have energy supply interruptions for an undetermined time. Studies in specialized literature usually detect, classify, and locate faults after they occur. In contrast, preventing faults by estimating areas vulnerable to them is crucial to mitigate all inconven… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
