This paper proposes a novel fault location method for overhead feeders,which is based on the direct load flow ap-proach.The method is developed in the phase domain to effec-tively deal with unbalanced network conditions,while it can al-so handle any type of distributed generation(DG)units without requiring equivalent models.By utilizing the line series parame-ters and synchronized or unsynchronized voltage and current phasor measurements taken from the sources,the method reli-ably identifies the most probable faulty sections.With the aid of an index,the exact faulty section among the multiple candi-dates is determined.Extensive simulation studies for the IEEE 123-bus test feeder demonstrate that the proposed method accu-rately estimates the fault position under numerous short-circuit conditions with varying pre-fault system loading conditions,fault resistances,and measurement errors.The proposed meth-od is promising for practical applications due to the limited number of required measurement devices as well as the short computation time.
