Abstract

The ability to accurately detect power system faults is of vital importance for the purpose of isolating malfunctioning equipmentand resuming normal operation as soon as possible after a fault occurs. People have used a variety of electric parametersas metrics to identify faults for a long time. The method proposed by this paper departs from the traditional approach byintroducing Fisher information (FI) as a measure of the stability of electric signals and as a criterion for making fault decisions.In this way, a non-dimensional positive parameter is used as a single criterion to deliver fault detection for power distributionnetworks. Firstly, we simplified the formula of FI and then adopted a practical method for calculating values of FI. Wedemonstrated the application of FI to measure the stability of electric signals. Finally, we combined FI with wavelet analysisto propose a novel technique for phase selection of a power distribution network with a grounding short-circuit fault, namelythe wavelet-based Fisher information (WFI). Simulation studies were then carried out to show the feasibility of the proposedmethod.
