Abstract: Fault section estimation plays a significant role in the process of restoring the power system to its normal state in minimum time. In this paper, an approach involving artificial neural networks and the genetic algorithm has been used for performing fault section estimation. We have presented a procedure to formulate objective function using neural networks and continuous genetic algorithm. This objective function is then minimized with the help of continuous genetic algorithm and fault section is identified. To validate the efficient performance of the approach, different systems were used for testing the method and it provides accurate results in all cases. One illustration is described in detail. It is seen that solution can be found out effectively in the situation of multiple faults and malfunctioning of protective devices
