Abstract :
In this paper, a novel protection of coordinating optimization algorithm is proposed. Maximizing the penetration‘s dispersed generation and at the same time minimizing the fuse’s operating time are the targets.
A novel optimization technique, the Imperialistic Competition Algorithm (ICA), is applied to solve the problem. The results of simulations confirm that the proposed method leads to lower operating times of protective devices and higher possible DG penetration, compared with the traditional coordination techniques.
