AB - The location of faults in distribution networks represents a crucial line of defence, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of these networks. This paper puts forth a methodology for the location of short-circuit faults between phases within the context of a distribution network information physics system. Firstly, a distribution network topology identification model is constructed, and a switching function based on the characteristics of an interphase short-circuit fault current is constructed to form a physical layer interphase short-circuit preconceived fault set. Subsequently, methodologies for processing information perturbations, including distortion, delay, and failure, are proposed. Fault current information is then extracted to form an information layer fault current array. Ultimately, a similarity function is constructed to correlate the fault characteristics of the physical and information layers. This is achieved through the utilization of the variational bee colony algorithm, which is employed to address the aforementioned issue. The efficacy and suitability of the proposed methodology are assessed in the context of single-point and multi-point faults, dynamic topology alterations, and information perturbations in distribution networks. To this end, a real-world project in Hebei and the IEEE system are employed as illustrative examples. The methodology proposed in this paper can facilitate the rapid and precise location of phase-to-phase short-circuits in physical information systems of distribution networks, thereby enhancing the reliability of power supply in new intelligent distribution networks.
