The evolution of the conventional power systems to smart grids has changed the way to
conceive and operate them. The part of the grid evolving the most is the distribution grid …

Governments set more ambitious goals about CO 2 emission reductions and increasing the
share of clean energy in the overall generation portfolio. A natural outcome of this trend is …

The paper presents a fault location procedure for distribution networks based on the wavelet
analysis of the fault-generated traveling waves. In particular, the proposed procedure …

Finding the location of faults in distribution networks has been a long standing problem for
utility operators, and an interesting subject for researchers as well. In recent years …

This paper presents a novel algorithm to determine the location of dc line faults in an HVDC
system with a mixed transmission media consisting of overhead lines and cables, using only …

The paper presents a procedure for fault location in distribution networks, based on the use
of the integrated time-frequency wavelet decompositions of the voltage transients associated …

This paper proposes a new impedance-based technique to locate all fault types in
distribution networks with/without distributed generators. A new procedure to form an …

This paper presents a new method based on the electromagnetic time-reversal (EMTR)
theory for locating faults in power networks. The applicability of the EMTR technique to …

This paper proposes a new algorithm for localizing phase to ground faults in an electric
power distribution system. Fault-originated traveling waves propagate along the distribution …

Precise knowledge of faults is very exigent to reduce the outage duration as most of the
customer minute losses in distribution grids occur due to longer period of interruptions …
