Abstract

This paper focuses on the problems of poor fault localization and easy leakage and false alarms of power communication monitoring system for distribution network segments. A new improved method based on whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is proposed to counter poor fault localization. The new method uses a feeder unit system for power grid data feedback, and enhance the adaptability of the model. The study also conducts iterative performance tests of the model in several distribution network segments. It also compares the performance of the improved WOA model with traditional genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and other algorithms, and conducts simulation analyses of voltage deviation and fault location time, as well as evaluation of fault location accuracy at different grid nodes. The results show that the improved WOA model is significantly better than the traditional algorithms in terms of iteration speed, and its longest time to reach the optimal solution is 3.12 ms after 6 iterations; this is 3.73 ms less than when compared to the GA. In the comparison test of different sections of the grid, the new proposed model is able to achieve a better objective function value in fewer iterations, and the smallest deviation value in grid Node 3 is only 0.05 pu, the localization time is shortened by 0.10 s compared with the GA, and the localization accuracy is improved by 7.9%. The new proposed algorithm offers better advantages in fault localization, communication monitoring and provides effective technical support for fault monitoring in a power communication monitoring system.
