INTRODUCTION:

HIF
Causes for HIFs
Transition conditions
Methods to extract useful information
from these high frequency components or
harmonics are:
1)Fourier transform
2)Wavelet transform
3)Artificial neural network
4)Fuzzy logic or combination of these

HIF Modelling
Emanuel arc model-proposed in 2003
The fault current flows towards the ground
if the phase voltage >positive DC voltage Vp,
The fault current reverses,
if the phase voltage< negative DC voltage Vn,
no fault current flows,
for values of the phase voltage between Vn&Vp.

DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM

Feature extraction
Transient voltages and currents during fault carry
high frequency component or harmonics which carry
important information regarding type and location of
fault.
The signal of the desired component
Number of decomposition
Low frequency signals
Multi-resolution analysis

called approximations

High frequency
signals called details

NEURAL NETWORK
Reliable method
Algorithms use the gradient of
the performance function to
determine weights for better
performance.
The gradient is determined using
a technique called back
propagation which involves
performing computations
backwards through the network.

The Implementation of Proposed Methodology

Network Simulation

Conditions considered for training patterns data generation

And Simulated wave forms

FEATURE EXTRACTION
Used to extract raw
fault signals
Outputs of this are
inputs for ANN
Magnitude of transient
energy of fault
signal>non fault signal
due to higher frequency

ADVANTAGES:
Low cost.
Multiple fault locations.
Using standard back propagation approach was used to
locate fault in a distribution network connected with
distributed generators.

DISADVANTAGES:
ANN is highly dependent on amount and quality of the
well-trained ANN algorithm.
Limited amount of information, or inaccurate information,
will affect the performance of the algorithm
It has slow convergence
ANN algorithm needs to be retrained whenever there are
changes in the system

CONCLUSION
This paper presents the application of wavelet multi resolution analysis
in combination with artificial neural network for accurate classification
and locating the fault.
Capabilities of neural network in pattern classification were utilized to
classify the faults.
After successful classification details of fault signals are used to locate
the fault.
Simulation studies were performed for different fault conditions with
faults at different phases.
