Power distribution system dependability must be ensured, necessitating
a robust protection plan. The efficient coordination of directed
overcurrent relays is crucial for reliable system operation since
distribution network malfunctions are inevitable. In this research, a new
adaptive protection coordination method based on the relay’s observed
equivalent impedance (EI) is presented. By employing clustering
approaches to identify and rectify mis-coordinated relay pairs, a feature
that has frequently been disregarded in prior research—this method
tackles the widespread issue of relay mis-coordination. The plan aims to
address problems with primary and backup relay synchronization. Relay
coordination and operating times were significantly improved when the
technology was validated on updated IEEE 14-bus systems. The
suggested strategy optimizes the operating periods for both primary and
backup relays, removing coordination constraint violations that are
typical of standard relay setups, according to analytical and simulation
results. Compared to traditional techniques, this adaptive protection
approach offers a more dependable and effective means of preserving
the integrity of the power distribution system.
