The new type of backup protection can utilize different kinds of information in a larger scale. The research of this paper is focused on the centralized decision and distributed implementation of wide area backup protection system in large-scale power grid. Topology analysis of power network is substantially network connectivity judgment. The operation conditions in case of a failure should be truthfully reflected in the actual structure of network topology, which requires the system failure must be detected promptly and accurately, and prepare for the subsequent adjustment of operation scheme. In the research of this paper, for different kinds of complex system failures, we have put forward a novel fault factor analysis scheme which can realize rapid, accurate and effective fault detection. Many simulations have verified that the fault factor analysis can successfully detect the failures in complex electric power system
