Description
Summary:With the present fault detection method for low-voltage distribution networks, it is difficult to detect single-phase grounding faults under complex working conditions. In this paper, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) support vector machine (SVM)-based grounding fault detection method is proposed for distribution networks. By improving the inertia weight value and introducing a flight-time factor, the PSO algorithm can be improved. The parameters <i><b>C</b></i> and <i><b>g</b></i> of the SVM can be optimized based on the improved PSO algorithm. Based on the PSO-SVM-based method, a grounding fault detection method can be established. By testing the proposed model in the simulation and experiment, its effectiveness and detection accuracy is validated.
