The high penetration of distribution generators (DGs), such as photovoltaic (PV), has made
optimal overcurrent coordination a major concern for power protection. In the literature, the …

The precision with which directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) are set up establishes the
microgrid customers' access to reliable and uninterrupted electricity. In order to avoid failure …

Much attention has been paid to the optimized protection of microgrids (MGs) and active
distribution networks (ADNs). However, the literature shows a research gap in proposing a …

The coordination time interval (CTI) is very important in the coordination of overcurrent
relays (OCRs). Although the CTI constraint is usually taken as 0.2 in the literature, it is also …

The increasing penetration of distribution generators (DGs), such as PV systems, has led to
a significant power protection concern for optimal overcurrent coordination. However …

The integration of synchronous generators (SG) to the grid will present serious problems in
some instances. The increase in fault current level is one of the most crucial issues, which …

In distribution systems, managing fault currents efficiently is crucial for ensuring system
reliability and safety. Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCLs) have emerged as …

In recent years, a prominent issue has emerged due to the rapid development of the power
system: the short-circuit currents often surpass the block capacity of the breakers. This paper …
