The principal target group for Fault Detection are Distribution System Operators (DSO). DSO can benefit from FDA by enhancing monitoring and automated control of the distribution grid to significantly reduce
the duration of power outages. The traditional methods used for fault detection in a distribution network are based on visual inspection after receiving the complaint from customers. Hence, traditional fault
detection methods are unable to locate faults quickly. Once a fault has occurred and reported, a crew is sent to locate it and fix it. All the actions required from fault occurrence to fault restoration usually are
measured in hours causing significant loses for the operators and inconvenience for customers. Automatic fault detection methods allow for substantial reduction of this time.
