Conference Proceeding
Aboshady, F., Thomas, D. W., & Sumner, M. (2017). Fast fault location scheme for distribution systems based on fault transients. In IET International Conference on Resilience of Transmission and Distribution Networks (RTDN 2017) (1-6). https://doi.org/10.1049/cp.2017.0327

This paper presents a combined double-end and single-end fault locator for distribution systems. The technique lies under the impedance based category and uses the fault generated high frequency components to locate the faults. The combination of dou...

Combining fault location estimates for a multi-tapped distribution line (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Jahanger, H., Sumner, M., & Thomas, D. W. (2017). Combining fault location estimates for a multi-tapped distribution line.

Multi-tapped lines are common in integrated power systems and microgrids which supply variable loads between the main source and the main load. Adopting a cost effective and efficient method for fault location is important for fast power recovery and... Read More about Combining fault location estimates for a multi-tapped distribution line.

EMC-oriented multi-conductor equivalent circuit cable models for spice, including transfer impedance coupling and incident field excitation (2017)
Conference Proceeding

A double end fault location technique for distribution systems based on fault-generated transients (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Aboshady, F., Sumner, M., & Thomas, D. W. (2017). A double end fault location technique for distribution systems based on fault-generated transients.

This paper presents a fault location technique for distribution systems. It is a two end impedance based technique that uses the fault generated transients to estimate the fault distance over a broad range of frequencies. Then, curve fitting is appli...
