Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of insufficient accuracy and fault tolerance due to low information utilization of existing fault location algorithms,a fault location algorithm based on protection state information and Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) is proposed.Firstly,the state information of circuit breakers and protective devices in the power grid is obtained by Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) to construct the fault feature vector.Then,AHC algorithm is used to cluster the feature vectors,and the faulty elements are obtained according to the association between elements and IEDs.Finally,it is compared with the existing power grid fault location algorithms based on fuzzy C-means and improved spectral clustering.The results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of not necessary to predict the number of clusters in advance,more stable fault location results,and improved accuracy and fault tolerance for IED information.

Key words: power grid fault location, agglomeration hierarchical clustering, protection status information, fault tolerance
