PMU PLACEMENT BASED FAULT LOCATION USING MULTI OBJECTIVES SHORTEST PATH ALGORITHM

Abstract The ability of the system to supply all kinds of loads during natural problems or fault has yet to be addressed. This work focuses on designing a wide-area measurement system to manage and control the power system during faults. IEEE 14 bus system and measurement of voltage and current were simulated by using PSCAD. In order to observe the effectiveness of measurement during a fault, multiobjective shortest path algorithm is considered in this paper. There are 19 fault cases have been simulated. Based on the calculation by utilizing multiobjective shortest path algorithm, a new path for the IEEE 14 bus system was obtained. All the section in the IEEE 14 bus system has been simulated with the fault in order to observe the performance of the multiobjective shortest path algorithm. The distance of the normal path (without fault) and the new path (with fault) have been recorded. From the data recorded the graph have been plot to show the performance of the algorit
