Performance Impact Analysis of EMTR-based Fault Location in Distribution Networks Considering Line Parameter Sensitivity
an an electromagnetic time reversal fault location method based on the minimum mirror value of fault current energy is proposed. However
this method currently requires that the simulation model set up during the reverse stage to be consistent with the actual line model parameters at the time of the fault during the forward stage
which limits its practical application. Therefore
based on the discrepency in model parameters between the forward and reverse stages of this method
the PSCAD simulation software is used in this paper to set up a 10 kV distribution network line model and its frequency-domain theoretical derivation is conducted .Through simulation
the loalization performance of this method under different line parameter sensitivities is analyzed
and a coaxial cable experimental model is constructed for validation. The results show that:①When the line inductance parameters in the reversed stage are adjusted in the range of 0.95 times to 1.1 times compared to the line inductance parameters in the direct stage
the method is able to accomplish ground fault location with high resistance.②The method can achieve accurate location of the real occurrence of an unknown ground fault resistance
and it is suggested that a high-resistance fictitious ground fault can be set in the line's lateral branch in the reversed stage so to increase its overall location performance.③Using the constructed coaxial cable test model
the impact of unknown fault impedance on the fault location performance of the method is analyzed
with a maximum comprehensive fault localization error of 5 m.
