Publication number: 20240133975Abstract: A computerized simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test is implemented by simulating a full-scale test system with external quantities being controlled to be conformant and validating the full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test based on a conformance check result between the internal quantities of the field testing and the internal quantities of the simulation testing. The simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test improves normalization and conformance of the full-scale distribution network ground fault test. The computerized simulation validating system, apparatus, and medium for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test also achieve the benefits noted above.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Zhi LI, Shaofeng YU, Dingfang KE, Peibo WANG, Kan SUN, Weiqiang LANG, Haijiang XU, Kelong WANG, Zhiyong LI, Kun YU, Guangyao YING, Xuqiang HE, Yezhao CHEN, Xiang ZHANG, Mingxiao DU, Huijuan GUI, Hongling HU, Biao PENG, Xubin XIAO
