Distribution System Fault Analysis Using MATLAB/SIMULINK

Abstract

In this paper, the impacts of various faults in the distribution network system (DNS) have been analyzed. Modelling and simulation is done using MATLAB/Simulink software package. The proposed model is simple and it can be used by power engineers as a platform. The designed model is used to study various common faults in distribution network at different points. The waveform display due to the various faults gives us an idea of hazardousness of the respective fault. The response of the system after introducing protective device is also observed.
