Abstract: | For optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relay we propose to consider operation characteristics, pickup current and time multiplier setting of relays as optimization parameters. Each parameter is optimized independently with the aid of linear formulation of the coordination problem. First, optimal discrete values of pickup current are selected. Second, adequate operation time characteristics of relays are selected. Third, optimal discrete values of time multiplier setting are determined. The proposed method is tested on two networks: an 8-bus system and the IEEE 30-bus system. Its performances are evaluated and compared with those of the linear and nonlinear programming techniques. |
