Relay coordination planning for high photovoltaic penetration using preset-time method by Abdulkareem, Ahmed Abduljabbar, Md. Rasid, Madihah, Jamian, Jasrul Jamani, Md. Sapari, Norazliani

“…One of the most essential effects caused by PV is an increase in the relay operating time (ROT) of the backup protection relay during faults. Many studies have focused on improving the coordination of protection relays at high PV penetration, either by using current limiters or modifying the characteristics of the protection curves. …”
