Improved Technique to Diagnose Fault in IEEE Standard 14-Bus System

Abstract

This study presents a new technique for fast detecting and diagnosing of power grids faults. Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) has a major disadvantage of noise sensitivity. The proposed technique solves the problems of DWT, where a high-precision classification of noisy and faulty signals could be obtained. Fusion between voltage and power readings is done to provide a more reliable and accurate decision to determine the exact location of the fault. In this technique, the learner classifier is used,and the system is trained for multiple situations where most faults may occur. All simulations were carried out and performed on the standard IEEE 14 bus system to check the efficiency and performance of the technique proposed. Simulation results demonstrate, as will be discussed, a strong effectiveness of the suggested approach relative to others. The main feature of the proposed technique is that it can differentiate between faulty and noisy signals and recognize the fault's location quickly and with high reliability.
