Abstract

The demand for power electricity is growing fast and one of the main tasks for power engineers is to generate electricity from renewable energy sources (RES). Nevertheless, problems arise when the new generation is integrated in the power distribution network. Under this condition, the main purpose in this paper, an investigation of the effect of RES integration on the optimal coordination of directional over-current relays in distribution system, a dual simplex optimization algorithm has been presented to determine the coordination of directional over-current relays (DOCRs). The system used to check the efficiency of the optimization algorithm which is IEEE 33-bus models. The analysis is performed in MATLAB software environment.

Abstract

The use of distributed renewable energy sources (D-RES) in the electrical network has expanded greatly. However, integration of these resources into distribution systems caused more problems in protection related issues such as mis-coordination and changes the direction and value of fault currents. When connecting new D-RES to electrical power distribution networks, it is required to re-coordinate directional over-current relays (DOCR) to ensure the continuity of the power transmission when the short circuits take place. This work presented a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine two independent variables called pickup current (Ip) and time dial setting (TDS) for optimal setting of relays. From analysis result, the impacts of RES location in the distribution system on DOCRs had been observed on the optimal relays settings.

Abstract

The process of selecting optimal settings for directional over-current relays (DOC relays) is a selection of time dial setting (TDS) and IP (backup current), So that changes in the system of electrical power distribution. In this work, a breeder genetic algorithm (BGA) has been applied to optimal settings of DOC relays with multisystem D-FACTS devices. The simulation consists of two network operation scenarios, scenario without D-FACTS which consisting of coordination of DOC relays against three phase faults, and the second scenarios with multi TCSC. In general, had been verified on optimal settings of relays that the impacts of TCSC insertion in 33-bus distribution system on DOC relays.
