Overview of Distribution Network Fault Location

According to the existing research, the fault section location and fault location of passive distribution network and active distribution network are reviewed. Among them, fault location of passive distribution network mainly introduces fault segment location based on transient state and steady state quantity and fault location based on transient quantity. The active distribution network mainly introduces the fault segment location based on the current amount and the switching capacity based on the distribution network topology. On this basis, the difficulties of fault location in the distribution network at present are analyzed, and the future development is prospected.
