Graduation StudentAlliander Feb 2014 - Jan 2016Arnhem, Gelderland, NlMy graduation project revolves around fault location measurements in infrastructures, targeted to low-voltage faults. Despite the fact that low-voltage faults contribute only to about a fourth of the total outage time, the faults have a relatively long duration when they occur. By having relevant information in place even before an engineer is at the location, the total process of resolving the fault can be shortened. -
