Power System Protection in Future Smart Grids: Achieving Reliable Operation with Renewable Energy, Electric Vehicles, and Distributed Generation

Power System Protection in Future Smart Grids: Achieving Reliable Operation with Renewable Energy, Electric Vehicles and Distributed Generation demonstrates how to protect smart, highly renewable, and highly distributed power systems with state-of-the-art methods rooted in adaptive protection and dynamic response, and based on continuous communication. Focusing on the implementation of novel protection schemes, each chapter presents solutions accompanied by figurative elements and demonstrator codes in MATLAB, C, Python and Java. Chapters address active distribution networks, hybrid microgrids, EVs and inverters on fault levels, adaptive protection systems, dynamic protection strategies, and Hardware in the Loop (HiL) approaches. Demonstrates how to mitigate the numerous unanticipated protection consequences of smarter grids and smarter grid equipment Focuses on providing communication-based solutions and power hardware in the loop modeling for integration of novel devices Emphasizes the importance of automation, communication, and cybersecurity in future protection systems Fully supported with modern demonstrator coding in MATLAB, C, Python, and Java
