| Summary: | Machine learning application have been widely used in various sector as part of reducing work load and creating an automated decision making tool. This has gain the interest of power industries and utilities to apply machine learning as part of the operation. Fault identification and classification based machine learning application in power industries have gain significant accreditation due to its great capability and performance. In this paper, a machine-learning algorithm known as Support Vector Machine (SVM) for fault type classification in distribution system has been developed. Eleven different types of faults are generated with respect to actual network. A wide range of simulation condition in terms of different fault impedance value as well as fault types are considered in training and testing data. Right setting parameters are important to learning results and generalization ability of SVM. Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel function has been used for training of SVM to accomplish the most optimized classifier. Initial finding from simulation result indicates that the proposed method is quick in learning and shows good accuracy values on faults type classification in distribution system. The developed algorithm is tested on IEEE 34 bus and IEEE 123 bus test distribution system. Copyright © 2020 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science. All rights reserved.
