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 …

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 traveling-wave-based fault-location algorithm for hybrid multiterminal
transmission systems that consist of one onshore overhead lines and multiple offshore …

High-impedance fault location has always been a challenge for protection engineering. On
the other hand, if this task is successfully realized, maintenance action could be performed …

The ongoing deployment of smart meters, with data processing and communication features,
has provided the opportunity to improve distribution systems performance. This paper …

Restoration of electrical energy after each distribution feeder's outage can improve the
reliability indices and its efficiency. Accurate fault locating can cause the Power distribution …

The exact location of faults in the electrical distribution systems is a problem that affects not
only the users, but also the companies providing the electric service. With greater time …

Locating high impedance faults (HIFs) is one of the biggest challenges in power networks.
HIFs draw relatively low currents, so power system operators cannot easily detect them with …

The feeders in distribution networks can be generally classified into two types: homogenous
and hybrid feeders. Hybrid feeders consist of non-homogeneous line segments. In this …

Abstract Active Distribution Networks (ADN) are defined as distribution networks with
presence of Distributed Energy Resources (DER). In this paper, a Fault Location (FL) …
