A Proposed Secure Hybrid, Hierarchical Communication Architecture to Facilitate Fault Prediction in SDPN

Electrical Faults have become the leading causes of power disruptions in the Secondary Distribution Power Network (SDPN). They are caused by the distributed nature of the electrical equipment, lack of protection and lack of automation systems like those deployed in the primary distribution network, transmission and generation. However, the prediction of faults before their occurrence, would lead t...
