A Novel DWT-ERT-based Fault Location for Distribution Network

Background: A new DWT-ERT-based fault location method is suggested in the IEEE test feeder. Objective: The fault location approach in the distribution network has been proposed in this paper that utilizes the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and ensemble regression tree (ERT). Methods: The fault location methodology has been validated by simulations conducted on an IEEE 13 bus node test feeder. Results: The results show that the suggested solution has low compute burden and memory requirements, and is unaffected by system and fault situations. Conclusion: In this study, the fault location approach for the distribution system employing DWT and ERT has been proposed.
