One of the main factors that disrupt reliability and stop energy provision is the fault
occurrence in distribution networks. Thus, accurate and fast fault prediction and location in …

This paper provides a comprehensive and systematic review of fault localization methods
based on artificial intelligence (AI) in power distribution networks described in the literature …

Global trends such as the growing share of renewable energy sources in the generation mix,
electrification, e-mobility, and the increasing number of prosumers reshape the electricity …

An electric power distribution system is operated in several distinct radial topologies by
opening and closing of system's sectionalizing and tie switches. The estimation of the …

Transient stability and supply disturbances are common yet unwelcome phenomena in
power distribution systems, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The growing demand for …

This paper proposes a fault-section location method based on sparse measurements, aimed
at asymmetrical faults. A virtual current vector is defined to indicate the faulted section, which …

Recently, the issue of protection in active distribution networks has been greater than before
due to mushrooming use of photovoltaic (PV) generation units. PV systems coupled to …

This paper investigates the feasibility of a smart metering architecture for modern power
grids in the smart cities framework. A particular focus is made on Automatic Meter Reading …

In a smart grid environment, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and intelligent sensors
have been deployed extensively. As a result, large-scale and fine-grained smart grid data …

Fast and accurate locating of electrical faults along power networks enhances system
reliability and continuity of supply, quick reclamation of the power supply and subsequently …
