The invention relates to a method for positioning a short-circuit fault of a distribution network based on distributed intelligent multi-calibration. The method comprises the following steps of: arranging a plurality of intelligent agents in the distribution network and establishing a modeled multilevel multi-
verification short-circuit fault positioning rule for different operating
modes of the distribution network; in the operation process of the distribution network, monitoring operation information of a
local current distribution network in real time through each distributed
intelligent agent; once the current is out of limit, sending a current out-of-limit
signal to the directly-adjacent
intelligent agent and a superior
intelligent agent and checking whether a short-circuit fault early-warning
signal exists locally; if so, assuring that the short-circuit fault happens locally; otherwise, waiting for receiving the current out-of-limit
signal sent by the directly-adjacent intelligent agent; and after delaying the signal for time t, according to the
local current out-of-limit signal and the received current out-of-limit signal, carrying out
rule matching and multi-condition calibration to determine a fault diagnosis result by utilizing a local short-circuit fault positioning rule
library and combining a wiring type of the distribution network and the position of the intelligent agent.
