Protection from the high impedance fault (HIF) has been one of the biggest challenges in the
power distribution network. HIF typically occurs when the conductors in distribution network …

The proliferation of renewable energy resources to the next level optimizes microgrid
utilization to manage the disturbances effectively. A direct current microgrid achieves …

A high impedance fault (HIF) is characterized by a small, nonlinear, random, unstable, and
widely varying fault current in a power distribution system. HIFs draw very low fault currents …

A new high-impedance fault (HIF) detection method using time-frequency analysis for
feature extraction is proposed. A pattern classifier is trained whose feature set consists of …

The focus of the paper is the difficulty of high impedance fault (HIF) detection in distribution
network, and its ease to be confused with capacitor switching (CS) and load switching (LS) …

This paper presents a novel application of smart meters (SMs) in the high impedance fault
(HIF) detection in distribution systems. Detection of HIF on distribution systems poses a …

This paper proposes an accurate High Impedance Fault (HIF) detection and isolation
scheme in a power distribution network. The proposed scheme utilizes the data available …

High-impedance faults (HIFs) are linked to enduring unaddressed knowledge gaps due to
their diverse and complex behavior, despite being extensively researched disturbances …

It is difficult to detect the faulty feeder if single phase-earth faults occur in a resonant
grounding system, mainly due to its very low-current fault. Since the similarity of transient …

Abstract High Impedance Faults (HIFs) have been labeled as the most common
disturbances in the power distribution systems. The special circumstances created by these …
