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 …

High Impedance Faults (HIFs) are recurring events in electrical Distribution Systems (DSs)
and occur by the contact between energized conductors and high impedance surfaces. HIFs …

This paper describes a new method for locating and identifying high-impedance fault in
medium-voltage networks of unbalanced distribution systems, considering: load variation …

High impedance faults (HIFs) often draw too little current to activate conventional overcurrent
protection, making the detection of a HIF event a difficult task. A practical and implementable …

The probability of single-phase high-impedance faults (HIFs) in a resonant grounding
system is high, and the existing fault detection and line-section location methods have …

This paper presents a new methodology for high impedance fault (HIF) location in overhead
power distribution systems. A polynomial function was used to model the voltage at fault …

Locating high impedance faults (HIF) in a distribution system increases the system's
reliability and improves the service's quality for customers. However, this type of fault …

High impedance faults create specific technical challenges in the context of power system
protection. The initial challenge is to detect these faults. If the fault is detected successfully …

Distributed energy resources consideration by fault location formulations is a technical
challenge. Stochastic behavior complicates deterministic solutions, while probabilistic …

Most of the high impedance faults (HIF) remain un-detected by the conventional relays due
to non-linear nature of the fault and low magnitude of current. In this work, a combination of …
