The protection of AC microgrids (MGs) is an issue of paramount importance to ensure their
reliable and safe operation. Designing reliable protection mechanism, however, is not a …

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are interconnected architectures that employ analog and
digital components as well as communication and computational resources for their …

The fault characteristics of an inverter interfaced distributed generator (IIDG) depend on its
control strategy and whether it has a low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability, which …

A high impedance arcing fault due to a leaning tree in medium voltage (MV) networks is
modeled and experimentally verified. The fault is represented in two parts; an arc model and …

Power electronics interface of renewable energy to system is now the trend in both
transmission and distribution segments of power network. Unlike synchronous generators …

While the world's power distribution system resembles an intricate web-like structure, the
most conventionally implemented distribution mechanism is the radial distribution system …

Overcurrent relays are widely used for power systems protection. Transmission side uses
more directional type relays, while distribution systems, eg, radial and ring-main …

Directional relaying is one of the most important features of protective relays in situations
where the fault current direction is not fixed. Most transmission lines, meshed distribution …

Series capacitor imposes problems to line protection and other online decisions. The
