This paper presents optimal coordination of overcurrent relays by using artificial bees colony algorithm. The objective function of the relay coordination problem is to minimize the operation time of associated relays in the systems. The control variables used in this paper are the pickup current and time dial setting of relays. The proposed method was tested with four systems study consists 5-...

The use of a digital stopwatch as timer for the overcurrent relay is important in order to know operating time characteristics relay. This activity aims design and build prototype laboratory practice activities. equipment circuit was then made applied practical implementation MCGG52 type electrical engineering at Faculty Engineering, Atma Jaya University Makassar. record using successfully carr...

This with the integration of distributed generation (DG) to meshed distribution systems, the operating time of the protective system becomes a major concern in order to avoid nuisance DG tripping. This paper proposes a new tripping characteristic for directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) that can achieve a higher possible reduction of overall relays operating time in meshed distribution networ...

Feeder protection is important in transmission and distribution side because if any fault occurs in any feeder or transformer, man power is needed to identify the problem and it will take more time. In the existing system, directional overcurrent elements with load further secured by a load encroachment function can be used to provide necessary security and sensitivity for faults on remote poin...

Link adaptive relaying (LAR) is one of the most popular techniques which employs soft power scaling approaches at the relay nodes. On the other. Buffer-aided relaying is a new paradigm for wireless cooperative networks. Buffer-Aided Relaying With Adaptive Link Selection – Fixed and Mixed Rate. A wireless relay is a codecadaptive RF receiver with single channel relay. It helps easily deployment ...

Distributed generators (DGs) are defined as generators that are connected to a distribution network. The direction of the power flow and short-circuit current in a network could be changed compared with one without DGs. The conventional protective relay scheme does not meet the requirement in this emerging situation. As the number and capacity of DGs in the distribution network increase, the pr...
