Fault location in power distribution systems is very important because of power service continuity requirements, mainly imposed by current electricity market quality standards. A fault location approach is adopted in this paper using current waveforms as measured at electricity substations, knowledge of protection-device settings and ANFIS networks. Good results were obtained from tests carried out in a prototype power distribution system to locate where faults were occurring. These results revealed variation in fault-locator precision due to using different current signal characteristics or descriptors. An error lower than 1% was obtained in the best case. Two more alternatives are also presented where errors were lower than 4%; such results validate the approach presented here.
El problema de la localización de fallas en sistemas de distribución de energía eléctrica es muy importante debido a los requerimientos de continuidad del servicio, impuestos por las normativas de calidad propias del mercado eléctrico actual. En este artículo se presenta una alternativa de localización de fallas que sólo utiliza las señales de corriente medidas en la subestación de distribución, el conocimiento de la calibración del sistema de protecciones y redes neurodifusas ANFIS. A partir de las pruebas realizadas en un sistema de distribución prototipo, se obtienen buenos resultados para la localización de la zona donde se originó la falla. Estos resultados muestran la variación de la precisión del localizador ante el uso de diferentes características o descriptores de las señales de corriente. En el mejor de los casos, el error encontrado es inferior al 1%; pero también se presentan dos alternativas adicionales para las cuales el error es inferior al 4%, lo cual valida plenamente la propuesta aquí presentada.
