Optimal allocation of fault current limiters for sustaining overcurrent relays coordination in a power system with distributed generation

This paper addresses the problem of overcurrent relays (OCRs) coordination in the presence of DGs. OCRs are optimally set to work in a coordinated manner to isolate faults with minimal impacts on customers. The penetration of DGs into the power system changes the fault current levels seen by the OCR...
