Abstract:

Objectives The coverage of power systems continues to expand, and the structure of integrated energy systems is becoming increasingly complex. This trend leads to a significant decline in the accuracy of fault location in the distribution network that is a critical component of the energy system. To address this, a fault location method for distribution network based on an improved binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm is proposed. Methods During each iteration of the binary particles, an adaptive mutation operation is first performed on the position of the particle. Furthermore, an adaptive method is introduced into the setting of inertia weight, establishing a BPSO algorithm with dual adaptive characteristics. Results In the standard radial distribution networks and those incorporating distributed generation, the improved BPSO algorithm can accurately pinpoint fault sections. Conclusions Compared with the traditional BPSO algorithm and genetic algorithm, the improved algorithm demonstrates stronger robustness in convergence ability. It remains unaffected by differences in fault types and has greater reliability. Therefore, it is more suitable for fault location tasks in complex and dynamic distribution network environments.
