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, dynamic response, and continuous communication. Focusing on the implementation of novel protection schemes, each chapter presents solutions, and chapters address active distribution networks, hybrid microgrids, EVs and inverters on fault levels, adaptive protection systems, dynamic protection strategies, ana hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) approaches. Aimed primarily at early career researchers and graduate students, it is an ideal source for the evaluation and mitigation of protection challenges in future power systems. The book also aims to refresh the knowledge, of protection professionals and acquaints them with the latest developments. Key features Demonstrates how to mitigate the numerous unanticipated protection consequences of smarter grids and smarter grid equipment, Focuses on providing communication-based solutions and power HiL modeling for the integration of novel devices, Emphasizes the importance of automation, communication, and cybersecurity in future protection systems, Demonstrates different protection approaches to address novel challenges while increasing renewable share
