Abstract

An intelligent adaptive protection scheme for distribution systems penetrated with distributed generators is proposed in this chapter. The scheme utilizes digital directional overcurrent relays connected with a communication network to a central relaying unit. A linear optimization technique is used to coordinate the overcurrent relays whenever a change in the system topology is detected. The scheme can also identify the faulty section of the feeder and update the settings of the primary and backup relays to speed up the fault clearance. The obtained results show that the scheme is successfully able to update the settings of the relays based on the current system topology and when a faulted section is identified.
