Voltage sag source location provides a solution to improve the operation and maintenance efficiency and resolve disputes between power supply and consumption. The existing sag source locating methods are based on the fault recording system’s sampling value waveform data, which requires more storage space and transmission channels. Based on sag event list with easy access and high real-time performance and takes the line as the location result, this paper proposes a voltage sag source locating method based on sag event amplitude information. Firstly, Based on the voltage amplitude of the monitoring nodes recorded in the sag event list, a matrix of voltage amplitude of disturbed monitoring nodes is formed. Secondly, the voltage amplitude and fault type of the disturbed nodes are used as inputs, and the line number is used as a classification number. The multi-classifier model based on multi-layer perceptron is trained to locate the voltage sag source. Finally, the method in this paper is verified by IEEE39 node simulation model and the actual monitoring data of sag events in an area in East China. The results show that the method is effective and feasible. Compared with the existing commonly used multi classification algorithms, it is found that the accuracy of sag source location in this method is 10% ∼ 20% higher than other multi classification algorithms.
