Abstract :
The problem of determining the location of faults in distribution systems can be faced with several techniques. In this paper, an approach based on the use of a distributed measurement system is improved, then its performance is evaluated under different realistic operating conditions of the network by means of simulations. The results show the validity and the robustness of proposed method.
