Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to use FPI to find ground defects. India's electricity demand is increasing day by day. Now, DISCOM is working hard to control electricity consumption in its region. Many anti-stop devices are now faulty. Added FPI or Wrong Path Indicator to the branch to fix this issue. Discom is installing 11KV/33KV underground electricity distribution infrastructure especially in big cities or densely populated areas to reduce short circuits and faults. Today, SAIFI/CAIFI and SAIDI/CAIFI Performance Index are used to measure the performance of distribution companies in India. The central government monitors SAIFI and SAIDI quarterly to identify private/state DISCOM restrictions through key criteria. The electricity distribution system is constantly being developed to gain customers, reduce losses and improve electricity distribution. The transmission system is vulnerable to disturbances such as relay failure and confusion regarding power transmission, tripping, and fault location. This device can be set up as food, increasing safety by reducing or even eliminating confusion about the problem. The number and location of FPIs can affect the reliability of the network, resulting in additional costs for utilities and consumers. This work is done using the IEEE 4 bus [8][9][10].
