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

Fault section location (FSL) plays a critical role in shortening blackout time and restoring
power supply for distribution networks. This paper converts the FSL task into a binary …

Distributed generators (DGs) provide many benefits for distribution networks, however they
increase the fault current level and cause miscoordination between the protective devices …

The rapid and accurate identification of different types of faults in the power grid is of great
significance to the stable operation of the power grid. An identification model of transient …

A method for optimal switches placement in distribution systems with distributed generation
is presented in this paper. According to both technical and economical issues, the method …

Since a power outage can impose damages to the economy, the value of lost load is much
more than the cost of electricity not sold. Hence, efforts should be devoted to achieve a …

The fault current characteristics of inverter interfaced distributed generators (IIDGs) are very
different from those of traditional synchronous generator. Prior to the fault current analysis of …

This paper addresses the issues related to the integration of renewable energy sources into
energy systems, focusing on management, security and sustainability. A significant transition …

The growth of the electricity distribution networks and increasing application of distributed
generators, has led to complexity of monitoring of automation process and possibility of …
