With the rapid development of hybrid AC/DC power systems, the penetration of power electronics, and the growing complexity of distribution networks, fault sensing, protection, and location technologies face new challenges. This special session aims to provide a focused forum for researchers and engineers to exchange recent advances in fault detection, identification, protection and location for power systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: fault sensing and diagnosis for AC/DC power grids; protection and fault location for power cables; generator stator ground fault protection; fault section identification in distribution networks; edge computing and AI-enabled fault analysis; traveling wave-based fault location; and resilient protection strategies for new-type power systems.
