    摘要: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of fault location in DC power distribution systems are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a DC power distribution system including a plurality of zones each including a DC power distribution line and a protective device. Each protective device structured to sense one or more electrical characteristics of a line and to controllably open a circuit including the line. At least one intelligent electronic device is structured to determine a line inductance based upon electrical characteristics sensed by one or more of the protective devices and to evaluate a location of the line fault based upon the determined line inductance.

    摘要: Technologies for detecting a fault location in a DC electrical distribution system include a bus protection unit that monitors a DC electrical bus. The bus protection unit includes at least one sensor to produce sensor data indicative of one or more characteristics of the DC electrical bus monitored by the bus protection unit. The bus protection unit monitors the sensor data, determines whether a fault has occurred based on the sensor data, and determines whether the fault occurred within a bus zone defined by the DC electrical bus in response to determining that the fault has occurred. Further, the bus detection unit trips isolation devices within the bus zone in response to a determination that the fault occurred within the bus zone or a communication from another bus protection unit indicating the fault has occurred within the bus zone. The bus protection unit transmits a bus fault indication signal to another bus protection unit in response to a determination that the fault has occurred.

    摘要: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of fault location in DC power distribution systems are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a DC power distribution system comprising at least one DC power distribution network and at least two protective devices operatively coupled to the DC power distribution network. Each protective device is structured to sense one or more electrical characteristics associated with the DC power distribution network and to controllably interrupt current through the DC power distribution line. A control system is structured to determine the location of a high impedance fault between two of the protective devices using one or more electrical characteristics sensed by the two protective devices to calculate the inductance and resistance of the portion of the DC power distribution line between one of the protective devices and the high impedance fault.
