Estimation of Faults in DC Electrical Power Systems.

Course project: ECE 602- Winter 2017

The goal of this project is to replicate and analyze the estimation methods provided in [1]. It is noteworthy to say that the results provided in [1] was experimentally achieved, and do to lack of equipment we solely focus on simulation studies.

The main goal of this paper is to estimate faults in a DC electric circuit via optimization methods. A DC electric circuit consists of sources, loads and switching elements. voltage and current measurements are implemented on some specific nodes in the system.
