• Abstract: Detection of high impedance faults (HIF) has been one of the biggest challenges in the power distribution network. The low current magnitude and diverse characteristics of HIFs make them difficult to be detected by over-current relays. Recently, data-driven methods based on machine learning models are gaining popularity in HIF detection due to their capability to learn complex patterns from data. Most machine learning-based detection methods adopt supervised learning techniques to distinguish HIFs from normal load conditions by performing classifications, which rely on a large amount of data collected during HIF. However, measurements of HIF are difficult to acquire in the real world. As a result, the reliability and generalization of the classification methods are limited when the load profiles and faults are not present in the training data. Consequently, this paper proposes an unsupervised HIF detection framework using the autoencoder and principal component analysis-based monitoring techniques. The proposed fault detection method detects the HIF by monitoring the changes in correlation structure within the current waveforms that are different from the normal loads. The performance of the proposed HIF detection method is tested using real data collected from a 4.16 kV distribution system and compared with results from a commercially available solution for HIF detection. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the commercially available HIF detection technique while maintaining high security by not falsely detecting during load conditions.

  We show that current out-of-distribution (OOD) detection algorithms for neural networks produce unsatisfactory results in a variety of OOD detection scenarios. This paper studies how such "hard" OOD scenarios can benefit from adjusting the detection method after observing a batch of the test data. We propose a novel method that uses an artificial labeling scheme for the test data and regularization to obtain ensembles of models that produce contradictory predictions only on the OOD samples in a test batch.
