Line Protection with Overcurrent Relays

259 Lines are protected by overcurrent-, distance-, or pilot-relaying equipment, depending on the requirements. Overcurrent relaying is the simplest and cheapest, the most difficult to apply, and the quickest to need readjustment or even replacement as a system changes. It is generally used for phaseand ground-fault protection on station-service and distribution circuits in electric utility and...

System Stability-Constrainted Optimal Protection Coordination in the Microgrid Including Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage

In this paper, the system stability-constrianted optimal protection coordination (SSCOPC) as stochastic problem in the microgrid with grid-connected and islanded operation modes, including renewable energy sources (RESs) and energy storage systems (ESSs), is presented. This problem to optimal regulation of the dual setting overcurrent relays (DSORs) and selecting the reactance size of fault cur...

Fuzzy Logic Based Overcurrent Protection for Mv Networks

In the paper a novel approach to overcurrent protection stabilisation based on Fuzzy Logic technique is presented. The scheme is intended for MV overhead lines for which the autoreclosure function is applied to enhance reliability of supply in case of intermediate (vanishing) faults. Protection stabilisation is required for the feeders supplying a part of network with numerous loaded MV/LV tran...

The challenges of protection for Microgrid

Since the late 1970s, intensive efforts have been made to utilise renewable energy sources, such as wind, hydro, solar and tidal. However, the application of individual distributed generators can cause as many problems as it may solve. A better way to realise the emerging potential of distributed generation is to take a system approach that views generation and associated loads as a subsystem o...
