It is an exciting time for power systems as there are many ground-breaking changes taking place simultaneously. There is global census in increasing the share of renewable energy-based generation in the overall generation mix and transitioning to a more environmental-friendly transportation with electric vehicles. Proliferation of renewable generation, storage devices and electric vehicles introduces unprecedented protection issues in smart grids. Existence of generation in distribution networks and bilateral power flow require extensive improvements in traditional protection schemes. To keep up with this fast-paced transformation, new protection systems should be versatile and flexible to accommodate different topologies and accept new deployments, respectively. To ensure interoperability between devices from different vendors, a common-information modeling approach, e.g. IEC61850 standard, is required. Use of standard logical nodes and communication makes it possible to install new protection schemes in smartgrids, integrate them with existing infrastructures and adjust to new deployments. Thanks to this standardized approach, plug-and-play concept can be achieved in smart grids.

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.
