Protection from the high impedance fault (HIF) has been one of the biggest challenges in the
power distribution network. HIF typically occurs when the conductors in distribution network …

The large-scale roll-out of smart meters allows the collection of a vast amount of fine-grained
electricity consumption data. Once analyzed, such data can enable cutting-edge data-driven …

The high impedance fault (HIF) has random, irregular, and unsymmetrical characteristics,
making such a fault difficult to detect in distribution grids via conventional relay …

Accidents caused by faults on overhead power lines have been more frequently reported
under extreme weather conditions and may strongly threaten the safety and stability of the …

This paper presents a novel application of smart meters (SMs) in the high impedance fault
(HIF) detection in distribution systems. Detection of HIF on distribution systems poses a …

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

In this paper, a new strategy for service restoration of de-energized loads is proposed using
advanced technologies of microgrids (MGs) that accommodate distributed energy resources …

High-impedance faults (HIFs) represent one of the biggest challenges in power distribution
networks. An HIF occurs when an electrical conductor unintentionally comes into contact …

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 high-impedance faults (HIF) occurring on distribution lines go undetected by the
conventional relays due to their low current magnitude. In addition to low current, HIFs also …
