To address the difficulty in accurately detecting and locating single-phase-to-ground faults in active distribution networks under random fluctuations of distributed energy resources and disturbances; this paper proposes a fault sensing and section location method based on the linear eigenvalue statistics of zero-sequence voltage. Firstly; from the perspective of high-dimensional space; the advantages of zero-sequence voltage in constructing fault sensing and location methods are analyzed. Secondly; a sliding window data matrix of node zero-sequence voltage and its covariance matrix are constructed; and the linear eigenvalue statistics are used to sense the fault occurrence time. Faulted-section localization is achieved based on the node contribution of abnormal eigenvectors and the difference index between adjacent nodes. Simulation verification is carried out on a 33-node distribution network under complex disturbance scenarios including no access of distributed generation; access of distributed generation; and neutral grounding via an arc suppression coil. The results show that the proposed method can effectively identify the occurrence time of single-phase-to-ground faults and achieve high-precision faulted-section localization under complex disturbance conditions.
