Fault location method of active distribution network based on improved artificial bee colony algorithm

With a large number of distributed power sources connected to the distribution network, it has brought a huge impact to the fault waveform of the distribution network. Considering the governance problems after the failure of the distributed distribution network, how to realize the failure after the failure of the active distribution network positioning research is a key link for active distribution network failure recovery. This paper considers the characteristics of the fault current flow in the active distribution network, and uses the artificial bee colony algorithm to search for the faulty section. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
