This paper presents an automatic faulted line section location method for distribution systems. It can be divided into two parts: faulted line section location method for medium-voltage distribution feeders and faulted area identification technique for low-voltage distribution systems. In the first part, an adjacency list that shows the adjacency relationship and status of fault indicating devices is developed. Then, an iterative search technique is devised to traverse the adjacency list to determine the faulted line section. In the second part, a relational table that shows the association relationship between smart meters, meter boxes, and distribution transformers is developed. Based on the table and the voltage of smart meters received from the customer electric information acquisition system, the faulted area can be located. Several test cases studied in a real distribution system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
