Electricity networks have had to become more flexible, reacting more quickly to the changes and needs of higher performance. This demand for flexibility is especially true where multiple generation sources occur, such as the intermittent power from renewables like solar and wind energy. While modern SMART grid technology can quickly identify faults in sub-station and generating units, cable faults can still occur anywhere on the network. Quickly locating a cable fault for repair is the top priority for avoiding lengthy restoration times. In the first place, this will be especially impactful on electrical utility reliability indices. These indices include SAIDI, the System Average Interruption Duration Index, which measures the total duration of an interruption for the average customer during a certain time period, and SAIFI, the System Average Interruption Frequency Index, which is found by dividing the total number of customers interrupted by the total number of customers served.
