Abstract:In order to avoidthedifficulty of selecting gravity frequency on the downstream of fault point when transient center frequency method is used for fault location in distribution network, this paper puts forward that the Fourier spectrum sequence of zero sequence current component should be analyzed further using kurtosis analysis. For the upstream section of fault point, the amplitude of zero sequence current transient gravity center frequency is much higher than the other resonance frequency components, and the spectrum diagram is approximate to a single shock shape, thus the calculated kurtosis value is larger. For the downstream section of the fault point, the zero sequence current dispersion is distributed in each resonant frequency components, and its spectrum analysis graph is similar to multi-shock shape, thus the calculated kurtosis value is small. Therefore, the maximum difference of the kurtosis value of adjacent monitoring points is used to determine the fault section. A large number of ATP/EMTP simulations show that the proposed method can effectively find fault segments when the gravity frequency in the downstream of the fault point is not obvious, which can be used as a supplement to the transient center of gravity frequency criterion.
