AI Technical Summary
Existing graph traversal-based methods for locating fault ranges in distribution networks are inefficient in complex network structures, prone to getting stuck in repeated searches, and difficult to adapt to the real-time query requirements of medium- and large-scale distribution networks. This results in insufficient location efficiency and accuracy, affecting the implementation of key aspects such as emergency repair scheduling and load forecasting.
A dominant tree-based approach is adopted to transform the distribution network topology into a dominant tree model. By identifying the index and hierarchical relationship through the branching point, efficient fault range localization is achieved. This includes dominant tree construction, branching point identification, and fault range query. The dominant tree structure simplifies path search and device association.
It improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault range location, reduces the complexity of path search from O((N−1)! to O(N), meets the real-time query requirements of medium and large-scale distribution networks, ensures the timeliness and accuracy of fault location, and is suitable for fault range locking in scenarios of complete feeder outage and partial power outage.
