Abstract
Fast detection of power line outages is critical for maintaining the stable operation of the power system. The aim of this article is to address the real time detection problem of multiple line outages in power systems. To effectively tackle the high-computational complexity issues associated with traditional approaches, we propose a multiple line outages detection algorithm that utilizes a distributed finite-time observer. The proposed method utilizes only local measurements and information from neighboring buses to update local observer for each bus. The proposed observer is mathematically proven to converge in a finite time, ensuring rapid detection of multiple line outages. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and rapidity of the proposed detection algorithm.
