    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to medium voltage alternating current (MV AC) distribution networks. Isolating a fault in a feeder line of an MV AC distribution network may cause a healthy portion of a feeder line to be disconnected from all power sources. Network control systems may be able to reconnect the healthy portion to another feeder line using controllable switches such as tie switching devices coupled to the end of each feeder line. Existing MV AC distribution networks suffer from a number of shortcomings and disadvantages. There remain unmet needs including increasing reconfigurability following feeder line fault response, preventing subsequent overloads after network reconfigurations, and reducing network downtime for healthy feeder line portions. For instance, conventional distribution networks do not receive power from multiple connected feeder lines after a fault response, risking an overload in a single newly connected feeder line and reducing power transfer ability. In view of these and other shortcomings in the art, there is a significant need for the unique apparatuses, methods, systems and techniques disclosed herein.

    Abstract: While transient current magnitudes at different locations within a DC distribution system themselves are not a reliable indicator of fault location, it is recognized herein that accumulating energy or pseudo energy values provides a reliable basis for tripping the protection element at a fault location. Thus, in one aspect of the teachings herein, pseudo energy values are accumulated independently during a fault condition, for each of one or more protected branch circuits and the protection element for each such branch circuit is tripped responsive to the accumulated pseudo energy values reaching a defined pseudo energy threshold. The pseudo energy thresholds are defined so that the protection element in the branch circuit where the fault is located will trip first.
