Improving Relay Protection Efficiency
Focusing on directional overcurrent relays, the study examines optimization-based methods for tuning key relay parameters, which include the pickup current and the time multiplier setting, to minimize the total relay operating times and ensure reliable protection. This research uses a genetic algorithm (GA) based approach to optimize digital relay coordination for the 3x15MVA, 33/11kV M2 injection substation in Jabi, Nigeria. The study involves modelling the substation and its key components within MATLAB/Simulink, enabling a simulated environment to test. Relay protection technology plays a vital role in fault detection, isolation, and recovery, evolving with intelligent algorithms, digital equipment, and automated coordination to enhance grid reliability. Both deterministic and. One of the promising ways to develop protection and control systems is the development of fundamentally new algorithms for recognizing emergency modes.
