Research on Distribution Network Fault Location Based on Binary Particle Swarm Optimization.

At present, the fault location technology of distribution network mainly relies on FTU, which is divided into direct method and indirect method. The direct method is mainly matrix method, and the indirect method is mainly based on AI algorithm. The matrix method can not locate the fault correctly when the FTU is disturbed and other reasons cause the failure information to be missed. So there are some problems in fault location of distribution network using matrix method (direct method). To solve this problem, based on the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, this paper constructs a binary particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm model to realize fault location of distribution network, and uses MATLAB to verify the simulation example. The results show that the algorithm has the advantages of good convergence, high stability and excellent fault tolerance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
