Performance comparison of classification methods for line outage detection

Authors:

Abstract
The Performance of three classification methods; Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB) and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) is investigated by a detailed comparison for detection of line outage. This paper presents an application of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in the protection of electrical power systems that is the single line outage detection in a transmission network. Also, a detection of the out of service line is accomplished through a proposed approach based mainly on the variations of voltage levels at the PMU's locations. The transient voltage signals measured by PMUs are processed by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to extract the distinctive features of these signals. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed classifiers, the algorithms are trained and tested by using the computer simulation studies for a typical 14-bus network model implemented in PSCAD/EMTDC package.
