Research on Fault Location of Distributed Power Distribution Network Based on Improved Particle Swarm Algorithm

In order to improve the accuracy and speed of fault location in distribution networks containing distributed power supplies, this paper proposes an improved binary particle swarm algorithm. A compression factor is introduced to enhance the speed and accuracy of convergence, and the effectiveness of the improved binary particle swarm algorithm is verified through simulation. The simulation results also demonstrate that the improved binary particle swarm algorithm can still accurately locate faults when node information is distorted.
