Abstract

The coordinated or selective power system can be considered as a sequence procedure among two protective devices installed in series and having certain features. The coordination of protective devices in protection system is a very substantial procedure to guarantee a strength and reliable power system. Directional overcurrent relays coordination is considered as an optimization problem. Due to the difficulties that face this problem especially in multi-loop networks; it is a complicated challenge taking into account the problem constraints. An overview of various metaheuristic-based optimization methodologies is presented to get a proper solution for the coordination problem between each relay pairs to guarantee satisfactory relay settings. In addition, offering various methods of relay coordination, a comparison between earlier works is also performed. It's expected that this study will be helpful for researchers interested in this field.
