In this study, using the concept of setting groups (SGs), an adaptive protection scheme is
proposed to increase the reliability of the system. Connection and disconnection of switches …

Over the last few decades, the inverse over‐current protection scheme has been one of the
most common schemes utilised in protecting the distribution networks (DNs). Although over …

Recently, wind energy sources have been attracted considerable attention due to the lack of
sustainable energy resources and the environmental policy imposed worldwide. As the …

Installing distributed generators (DGs) to the distribution networks has strongly effects on the
selectivity of the conventional protection system. Miscoordination, improper operation, or …

Modern electricity networks nowadays can now operate in both directions to become a
matrix of exchanges between all grid sections, henceforth consumer communities can even …

This paper analyzes the typical distribution network structure and the operating
characteristics of distributed generation (DG). By analyzing the impact of grid-connected DG …

Nowadays, the increased demand for electricity is driving power companies to expand the
capacity of electrical generating to utilize localized distributed generation (DG) based on …

The purpose of protection systems is to detach the damaged sections in case of a specific
failure occurs in the network to ensure the continuity of electric supply. This can be done …

Although integration of wind distributed generation directly into the distribution level has
considerable advantages, increased penetration of wind distributed generation (renewable …

The environmental and economic features of renewable energy sources have made it
possible to be integrated as Distributed Generation (DG) units in distribution networks and to …
