Study on smart grid fault detection based on ZigBee and MapX technologies

As the complexity of the power system and the increasing demand for electricity continue to rise, ensuring the reliability and stability of the power system becomes critically important. This study utilizes ZigBee communication modules to establish a sensor network for real-time monitoring of the power system's status and employs MapX technology to achieve geographic information visualization of the power system. Through an improved RBF-PCA-WFCM algorithm, grid data can be dimensionally reduced, enabling simulation training tailored to grid loads, resulting in more accurate algorithm analysis and optimization. This paper introduces fault localization and diagnostic methods, as well as clustering optimization algorithms, to achieve fault monitoring, analysis, and identification in the smart power grid. Research findings demonstrate that the intelligent power grid data analysis and fault detection system based on ZigBee and MapX technologies can enhance the reliability of the power system and better support the increasing demands of the evolving field of electricity.
