Microgrid protection schemes play a vital role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of
power distribution in urban and rural areas, especially as renewable distributed energy …

Emission of greenhouse gases and depletion of fossil fuel reserves are two key drivers,
which are forcing the mankind to generate the future energy demand from the renewable …

Usually, protection coordination problems are solved under the assumption that the network
topology is fixed. Yet, in practice, any power system can encounter changes in the network …

Power systems are experiencing structural changes induced by the integration of distributed
generation units and the operation of microgrids. This transformation has posed new …

Protection coordination for the microgrid system in both islanded and grid connected modes
is considered a challenge for microgrid operation. The variation in short circuit currents in …

This paper elaborates a new protection scheme based on dual-setting DOCRs for
automated distribution networks. In this course, the reduction in relays operation time …

The relay coordination problem is of dire importance as it is critical to isolate the faulty
portion in a timely way and thus ensure electrical network security and reliability. Meanwhile …

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 …

Ground faults are the most common type of faults in the microgrid. In addition, the
configuration of the grounding strategy significantly affects the characteristics of the ground …

In this paper, a new stochastic optimizer called slime mould algorithm (SMA) for solving the
optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relays in meshed power networks is …
