The addition of distributed generation to a power system improves its performance. It makes
it more sustainable and efficient. But it also poses substantial challenges for designing a …

Increasing renewable penetration and grid modernization initiatives are having a significant
impact on the operating and fault characteristics of distribution systems. As a result …

Integrating inverter-based generators in power systems introduces several challenges to
conventional protection relays. The fault characteristics of these generators depend on the …

This paper presents a novel approach in which hyperparameter-tuned Machine Learning
(ML) classifiers with Optuna is used for fault detection and classification over a power …

The transient characteristics of wind farms in groups are quite different; in addition, there is a
strong coupling between the wind farms and the grid, and these factors make the fault …

More and more Doubly-fed Induction Generators (DFIG) have a low voltage ride through
(LVRT) capability, which needs to provide reactive power for the grid during the low voltage …

In a hybrid microgrid, the overcurrent relays (OCRs) must sense the changes in the fault
currents while the microgrid switches from the grid‐connected to the islanded mode of …

This paper discusses the challenges faced by conventional distance relay in protecting lines
emanating from doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms. During severe …

It is observed that in a hybrid microgrid the current and frequency at a particular node
changes as per the number, type of distributed generators (DGs), and grid/islanded …

Types I, III and IV wind distributed generators show different and wide range of current
sharing capacity during the occurrence of faults in the distribution feeders. In a hybrid …
