Based on the principle of reverberation of waves on power network, the high frequency signature of the current signals are related to known reflection points exist in the network. From these the fault section and the probable location of the fault can be identified. The probable location is then used within a power system simulator that models the network. The simulated current waveforms at the probable locations are then cross-correlated against the signals captured. If the identified location is correct, the high frequency signature in the simulated waveform will be similar to that observed in the measured waveform and the cross-correlation value will have a high positive value. If the signatures differ, the cross-correlation value will be small. Simulation studies using PSCAD/EMTDC and analysis using cross-correlation indicate that locating faults on a radial distribution feeder is a possibility using a single ended travelling wave measurement method.

To automatically select the training data and obtain the performance evaluation results, the “K-fold” cross-validation method is used. Then, the probabilistic neural network is compared with the feed-forward neural network and the radial basis function network. The goal is to propose a classifier that is capable of recognizing 11 classes of three-phase distribution system faults to solve the complex fault (three-phase short-circuit) classification problem for reducing the multiple-estimation problem to estimate the fault location in radial distribution systems. The data for the fault classifier is produced by DigSilent Power Factory, Integrated Power System Analysis Software on an IEEE 13-node test feeder. A selection of features or descriptors obtained from voltages and currents measured in the substation are analyzed and used as input of the probabilistic neural network classifier. It is shown that the probabilistic neural network approach can provide a fast and precise operation for various faults. The simulation results also show that the proposed model can successfully be used as an effective tool for solving complicated classification problems.
