This paper presents a new methodology based on multi-objective optimization techniques to perform an optimized, coordinated and selective allocation of control and protection devices in distribution networks with distributed ...

Integration of distributed generation in power distribution networks provides many advantages and challenges to electric power system. Among challenges are the increase in levels of short-circuit currents and changes of ...

This paper presents a novel graphical approach to adjust and evaluate frequency-based relays employed in anti-islanding protection schemes of distributed synchronous generators, in order to meet the anti-islanding and ...

This work aims to allocate, size and coordinate protective devices in electric power systems with directly coupled distributed generation and also to adequate protection systems to accommodate these sources. Currently, it ...

Synchronous distributed generators are prone to operate islanded after contingencies, which is usually not allowed due to safety and power-quality issues. Thus, there are several anti-islanding techniques; however, most ...
