“…It also enhances the overall reliability and stability of the power system, while their high cost is the main disadvantage of using FCLs. Therefore, to get a very high performance from FCLs, the optimal numbers and locations of these devices should be studied carefully [37]. Table 1 explains the proposed methods for the protection architecture using FCL.…”

“…The analyses and assessment of the IEEE 14-bus system, compared with existing methods, showed the best validity of the minimum response time for the current transformer (CT) configuration. Therefore, it decreases the operating times of the relay and keeps the protection coordination between the OCRs applicable [37]. The DNs protection coordination problem with DOCRs was classified as a nonlinear mixed-intergeneration level programming problem (MINLP) and was solved using the well-established DE algorithm.…”

An amalgamation of Green Distributed Generation (GDG) with Distribution Networks (DNs) was developed because its performance became more efficient and sustainable. It increased the challenges in the design and operation of the protection scheme and changed the short circuit current (SCC), voltage profile, power losses, and power flow direction after the GDG penetration. These changes rely on the number, size, location, and environmental influence according to the GDG type. Therefore, many researchers have discussed protection system challenges and presented types of protection approaches to find a robust protection layout for DNs integrated with GDGs to prevent the electrical equipment from being destroyed during abnormal conditions. This paper represents an exhaustive survey of GDG integration with DNs and its effects on protection design challenges. Furthermore, this paper summarizes the modern protection methods and detection technologies, along with their important aspects that have been accessed. One of the important and reliable methods is resetting and coordinating between protection devices (PDs) that operate in the same distribution feeder. This methodology focuses on restricting the main variables and parameters used in the PDs setting after the GDG is embedded to recalculate the suitable setting and coordination. Optimization techniques should be used to find the best setting or location of the protection system in the DNs, in addition to calculating the optimal GDG scale and location. However, international standards are used to specify the suitable equations that satisfy high protection system characteristics to ensure the DNs’ reliability.

“…Hybrid HS employs point-based optimization for DOPR coordination [35]. The coordination issue of DOPRs is addressed by employing a hybrid PSO with LP approach [36,37]. DOPR problem has been proposed to be solved using a combination of biogeography-based optimization (BBO) and LP (BBO-LP) [38].…”

In order to minimize or maximize an objective function, electrical engineering problems might benefit from optimization methodologies inspired by nature. This study employs a hybrid particle swarm optimizer (HPSO) to get rid of local optimum solutions and find the best global one for directional overcurrent protection relays (DOPR) protection. DOPR coordination is a highly constrained, mixed-integral nonlinear optimization problem. An adaptive defense method has been created to counteract the intentionally challenging design. Therefore, design variables such as time multiplier setting (TMS) and plug setting (PS) are utilized for each relay in the circuit. The goal function is to reduce the amount of time spent to trace the fault by all the relays. Reducing the time required for each relay to trace the fault is the aim of function. After analyzing and comparing two test studies of the IEEE benchmark using various optimization strategies, we found that the results for the IEEE 15-bus system has minimum time of 8.9 sec, which is improved by 22.92% to 82.89%, and those for the IEEE 30-bus system minimum time of 23.66 sec that is improved by 4.41% to 39.6%. In terms of overall DOPR operation and computational time needed to get the global optimum solution, the acquired results are demonstrably superior to those obtained using conventional and state-of-the-art methods.

“…This will also help to avoid unnecessary tripping of breakers and the isolation of sections of the power system that are not faulted. This may be accomplished by appropriately determining the operating time of the relays [15], [16]. There are two main settings for the overcurrent relays: plug setting (PS) or pickup current (IP) and time multiplier setting (TMS) or time dial setting (TDS).…”

This paper provides a comprehensive review of optimization techniques for coordinating directional overcurrent relays in power systems. It covers a wide range of techniques, including conventional and deterministic methods, metaheuristic algorithms, and hybrid approaches. The paper discusses the objective functions utilized in formulating relay coordination problem and presents the development of optimization methods for solving this problem. Furthermore, it examines the criteria for comparing different algorithms for coordination problem and includes a case study to demonstrate the practical application of these criteria. It also presents simulation software employed for examining and validating results obtained from optimization algorithms. Future trends and challenges regarding optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relays are also discussed. The paper concludes that there is no single "best" optimization technique for the coordination problem. The best technique for a particular application will depend on the specific characteristics of the power system and the constraints of the coordination problem.
