TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an adaptive overcurrent protection system which automatically amends the protection settings of all overcurrent relays in response to the impact of DG, ANM, and islanding operation.

TL;DR: This paper makes a review on the above mentioned aspects, including the emerging frequency regulation services, updated grid codes and grid-scale ESS projects, and some key technical issues are discussed and prospects are outlined.

TL;DR: An open source platform which enables the rapid-prototyping of communications-enhanced schemes and shows how a model-centric tool can be used to manage the complexity of the IEC 61850 standard by providing a framework for validating SCD files and by automating parts of the code generation process.

TL;DR: System validation approaches for smart grids are addressed and different approaches for different stages in the design, development, and roll-out phase of smart grid solutions and components are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an investigation into sympathetic tripping -the undesirable disconnection of distributed generators (DGs) when a network fault occurs in the vicinity of the DG and is not cleared quickly enough by the network protection (i.e. before the DG's under voltage protection operates).
