To cope with the increasing energy demand, power systems, especially distribution
networks, face many challenges. Recently, these networks have become complex and large …

The protection of distribution networks is one of the most substantial issues, which needs
special attention. Using appropriate protective equipment enhances the safety of the power …

When renewable resources are connected to the existing network, the level of fault current
can increase, and the protection devices cannot be capable to interrupt fault current. In this …

Integration of distributed generating (DGs) units helps in reducing the extreme loading on
the main power grid. DGs are convoyed with high fault currents. High fault currents exceed …

The use of distributed generation has received wide attention due to low maintenance costs,
reduced transmission line losses and network congestion, as well as minimal impact on …

Power systems are becoming more and more complex in nature due to the integration of
several power electronic devices. Protection of such systems and augmentation of reliability …

Among different sources of alternate energy, wind and solar are two prominent and
promising alternatives to meet the future electricity needs for mankind. Generally, these …

The demand for electricity is increasing at a very high rate and demand for power is running
ahead of supply. Introduction of Distributed energy resources (DES) is the biggest change …

To efficiently reduce the fault currents of active distribution networks (ADNs), this paper
proposes a novel methodology for Pareto optimal allocation of resistive‐type fault current …

Integration of Distributed Generation (DG) in distribution systems results in new fault current
levels. Among various DG types, synchronous based DG provides the highest fault current …
