The future distribution system will have the significant characteristics such as high density integration of distributed generations
interconnection of AC/DC hybrid system. Therefore
the fault analysis for distribution system will face new challenges. As the integration of high density distributed generation and power electronic equipments
the fault response presents the property of nonlinear temporal-spatial correlation
and the fault response interaction influences between AC/DC system further increase the difficulty of fault analysis. In this paper
the current research status of the distribution system fault analysis is summarized
and the key issues to be studied in the future are proposed including the analysis and decoupling modeling of distributed generations for the temporal-spatial correlation characteristics
the equivalent modeling of AC/DC hybrid distribution system
