A novel low-complexity fault diagnosis algorithm for energy internet in smart cities

Abstract

The smart energy system, viewed as an "Energy Internet", consists of the intelligent integration of decentralized sustainable energy sources, efficient distribution, and optimized power consumption. That implies the fault diagnosis for a smart energy system should be of low complexity. In this paper, we propose a Strong Tracking Unscented Kalman Filter (STUKF) and modified Bayes' classification-based Modified Three Sigma test (MTS), abbreviated as SFBT, for smart energy networks. The theoretical analysis and simulations indicate that SFBT detects faults with a high accuracy and a low complexity of O(n).
