Fault Location and Cyber-Attack Detection in Smart Power Systems with Wind Generators Using a Multi-agent System Approach
摘要
Ensuring stability and reliability in power systems, particularly within extensive and intricate distribution networks, requires precise fault location. This study proposes a fault location protection mechanism for vulnerable distributed systems, including wind generators, using a multi-agent system (MAS) approach. The system analyzes transient fault current spectra to enable fast and accurate fault detection and location. Establishing reliable communication networks is crucial for ensuring rapid and precise coordination between MAS agents and circuit breakers, allowing efficient fault isolation. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in handling physical defects and mitigating cyber-attacks in power systems. The approach significantly improves the fault location process, reducing fault clearance times and preventing circuit breaker failures, thus enhancing the overall resilience of the grid.
