Title: Improving Real-world Measurement-based Phase Identification in Power Distribution Feeders with a Novel Reliability Criteria Assessment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1808644

This paper is concerned with solving the phase identification problem in a real-world smart grid project; where there is only a few smart meters available on each of the five power distribution feeders in the test site in Riverside, CA. The main idea is to develop and use two reliability criteria that can identify the most reliable components in a broken-down phase identification analysis; thereby significantly improving the accuracy of phase identification. The proposed method consists of three steps. The results from field implementation reveal the accuracy and consistency of the proposed method in practice, in correctly and reliability identifying the phase connectivity.
