This article provides a comprehensive review of optimal relay coordination (ORC) in
distribution networks (DNs) that include distributed generators (DGs). The integration of DGs …

This paper presents a new hybrid algorithm of Harris hawks' optimization with sequential
quadratic programming (HHO-SQP) for optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relays …

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 …

In the optimum coordination of Directional Overcurrent Relays (DOCRs), the appropriate
relay settings, namely, Plug Setting (PS) and Time Multiplier Setting (TMS), are selected to …

In this paper, an efficient optimization technique, called improved moth-flame optimization
(IMFO) is proposed to improve the performance of conventional Moth-flame optimization …

The protection system has a vital role in subsystems of the power network including the
generation, transmission and distribution system. This system combines several types of …

Achieving optimum coordination of directional overcurrent relays is a very complicated task
in the large interconnected system including huge numbers of relays. In the literature …

This paper presents an enhanced differential evolution algorithm (DE) for solving the
directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) coordination problem. Comparisons among different …

The coordinated or selective power system can be considered as a sequence procedure
among two protective devices installed in series and having certain features. The …
