description This paper provides a comprehensive review of optimization techniques for coordinating directional overcurrent relays in power systems. It covers a wide range of techniques, including conventional and deterministic methods, metaheuristic algorithms, and hybrid approaches. The paper discusses the objective functions utilized in formulating relay coordination problem and presents the development of optimization methods for solving this problem. Furthermore, it examines the criteria for comparing different algorithms for coordination problem and includes a case study to demonstrate the practical application of these criteria. It also presents simulation software employed for examining and validating results obtained from optimization algorithms. Future trends and challenges regarding optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relays are also discussed. The paper concludes that there is no single “best” optimization technique for the coordination problem. The best technique for a particular application will depend on the specific characteristics of the power system and the constraints of the coordination problem.
