Fault Location of Underground Distribution Network Based on RBF Network Optimized by Improved PSO Algorithm

To solve the difficult problem that exists in the location of single-phase ground fault for coal mine underground distribution network, a fault location method using RBF network optimized by improved PSO algorithm based on the mapping relationship between wavelet packet transform modulus maxima of specific frequency bands transient state zero sequence current in the fault line and fault point position is presented. The simulation analysis results in the cases of different transition resistances and fault distances show that the RBF network optimized by improved PSO algorithm can obtain accurate and reliable fault location results, and the fault location perfor-mance is better than traditional RBF network.
