In this paper we propose an accurate method for fault location in underground distribution systems by means of an Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier. We applied the Time Domains Reflectometry method for signal acquisition, ...

The main objective involved with this paper consists of presenting the results obtained from the application of artificial neural networks and statistical tools in the automatic identification and classification process ...

In this work the problem of defects location in power systems is formulated through a binary linear programming (BLP) model based on alarms historical database of control and protection devices from the system control ...

This paper presents a methodology to deal with uncertainties in electrical parameters of multi-section non-homogeneous lines (NHLs) during traveling wave (TW)-based fault location procedures. Required functionsto detect ...

Abstract. Power systems monitoring is particularly challenging due to the presence of dynamic load changes in normal operation mode of network nodes, as well as the presence of both continuous and discrete variables, noisy ...

This paper presents a methodology for automated disturbance analysis and fault location on electric power distribution systems using a combination of modern techniques for network analysis, signal processing, and intelligent ...

Service Oriented Computing is a relevant paradigm that allows for building software solutions as it supports the creation of dynamic and agile applications. As a result of these benefits, applications based on the paradigm ...
