“…Laplace Crossover particle swarm optimization (LXPSO) had been applied successfully for optimal setting of over current relays [50][51][52]. Modified differential evolution (DE) algorithm based techniques are also reported in [53][54][55] for optimal setting of DOCRs. In [56], non-heuristic method, for solving relay coordination problem without formulation of objective function was presented.…”

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 energy resources. These resources are generally distributed in nature and are directly integrated at distribution levels. Increasing penetration of the distributed energy resources in distribution power networks creates additional operational and control issues. These are mostly regulatory, economical load dispatching, power quality and protection issues. Generally power distribution systems are protected with the help of dedicated over current based protection schemes. But increasing share of distributed energy resources penetration in electric utilities poses a serious threat to the existing protection coordination schemes of the distribution systems. Distributed energy resources connected distribution networks become interconnected in nature and protection coordination schemes, which are designed for unidirectional flow of fault currents become ineffective/non-functional. Therefore, new protection coordination schemes are required for providing the adequate protection coordination for distributed energy resources connected electric power networks. In the available literature, the protection coordination schemes for radial distribution systems and developments in the area of protection coordination are discussed in detail. A thorough review for all these protection coordination schemes for distribution systems with and without distributed energy resources is done in this review article. It includes the analytical and artificial intelligence based techniques application for coordination of protective relays in the distribution systems. The limitations and research gaps in the area of protection coordination schemes are also presented in this review article. The aim of this research paper is to bring all the available research in the area of relay coordination on one platform, so that it will help the emerging researcher to identify the future scope of relay coordination application for distributed energy resources connected distribution systems.

“…All the maximum short-circuit contributions considered in n i and m i nodes for all fault paths are entered in Tables 7 and 8. In the objective function design in Section 5 and in many publications, too [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], the selectivities met only in the primary and secondary nodes have been assumed. To verify the selectivity is met, not only in these nodes but in the entire protected section (between the primary and secondary nodes), different short-circuits placements have been explored in the protected section.…”

“…For each protection, only one coefficient is looked for, and the linear programming can be used. Other publications [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] have dealt with the determination of time multipliers M Oi and pickup currents I pcOi with predetermined slope. In the latter, the optimization is nonlinear and a more sophisticated optimization method must be used.…”

“…In the latter, the optimization is nonlinear and a more sophisticated optimization method must be used. However, all the aforementioned works [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] have mainly focused on the optimization process itself, but not much attention has been paid to choosing the proper short-circuit contributions types; additionally, only the maximum and minimum short-circuit contributions have been taken into account (and/or the current contributions values, without a calculation process description, have only been mentioned). As will be described in the article, the maximum and minimum short-circuit contributions can only be used if the short-circuit contributions flowing through primary and selective protections are the same.…”

This paper proposes a new approach to the distributed generation system protection coordination based on directional overcurrent protections with inverse-time characteristics. The key question of protection coordination is the determination of correct values of all inverse-time characteristics coefficients. The coefficients must be correctly chosen considering the sufficiently short tripping times and the sufficiently long selectivity times. In the paper a new approach to protection coordination is designed, in which not only some, but all the required types of short-circuit contributions are taken into account. In radial systems, if the pickup currents are correctly chosen, protection coordination for maximum contributions is enough to ensure selectivity times for all the required short-circuit types. In distributed generation systems, due to different contributions flowing through the primary and selective protections, coordination for maximum contributions is not enough, but all the short-circuit types must be taken into account, and the protection coordination becomes a complex problem. A possible solution to the problem, based on an appropriately designed optimization, has been proposed in the paper. By repeating a simple optimization considering only one short-circuit type, the protection coordination considering all the required short-circuit types has been achieved. To show the importance of considering all the types of short-circuit contributions, setting optimizations with one (the highest) and all the types of short-circuit contributions have been performed. Finally, selectivity time values are explored throughout the entire protected section, and both the settings are compared.

“…Thus, conventional protection schemes that are designed for power systems without considerations of the DG impacts are insufficient for supporting wider renewable energy-based DG penetration [23][24][25][26][27][28]. Thus, a new generation of protection schemes that explicitly considers these requirements and adapts the system operation are strongly required [29][30][31][32].…”

Adaptive Protection Scheme for a Distribution System Considering Grid-Connected and Islanded Modes of Operation

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The renewable energy-based distributed generation (DG) implementation in power systems has been an active research area during the last few decades due to several environmental, economic and political factors. Although the integration of DG offers many advantages, several concerns, including protection schemes in systems with the possibility of bi-directional power flow, are raised. Thus, new protection schemes are strongly required in power systems with a significant presence of DG. In this study, an adaptive protection strategy for a distribution system with DG integration is proposed. The proposed strategy considers both grid-connected and islanded operating modes, while the adaptive operation of the protection is dynamically realized considering the availability of DG power production (related to faults or meteorological conditions) in each time step. Besides, the modular structure and fast response of the proposed strategy is validated via simulations conducted on the IEEE 13-node test system.
