Abstract

The main idea behind a smart grid is to equip the grid with a dense lattice of sensors monitoring the state of the grid. If there is a fault, the sensors closer to the fault will detect larger deviations from the normal readings that sensors that are farther away. In this paper, we show that this fact can be used to locate the fault with high accuracy.
