In this paper, a fault location method for distribution network based on synchronous measurement data of μPMU is proposed by configuring micro synchronous Phasor Measurement Unit (μPMU) in radial distribution network. Firstly, the initial fault distance is calculated by synchronous phasor of voltage and current of single-ended μPMU. Then, the pseudo-fault points are eliminated according to synchronous phasor of voltage and current of double-ended μPMU, and the specific location of the fault in the main network is determined iteratively. By comparing with the initial fault distance, the fault occurs in the main network or in the branch line is judged. Finally, the pseudo-fault points are eliminated iteratively, and the distance from fault to main network is determined. This method considers the influence of line capacitance on fault location accuracy. Through the analysis of line capacitance to ground, the location error is reduced. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of this method. This work is supported by Science and Technology Project of State Grid Corporation of China (No. 5222LK17001T).
