Abstract

Abstract: A number of recent or novel metaheuristic algorithms have been explored in the subject of optimization; although now not all of these algorithms are as efficient as their creators claim, a few have been confirmed to be a pretty efficient and useful tool for addressing complex optimization problems. On the other aspect, LINGO is a software tool used for linear, nonlinear, optimization problems. This paper's objective is to study how well the LINGO optimizer performs as contrasted to metaheuristic optimization strategies for over current relay coordination. The operation of directional over current relay is demonstrated with the applicability of LINGO optimizer and metaheuristic strategies. In this study, two distinct case studies, which include a mixed overhead line‐underground cable and a DER primarily based IEC microgrid benchmark, are tested for comparative evaluation among the LINGO optimizer and metaheuristic strategies. During the first stage of case study I, the crow search algorithm (CSA), a novel metaheuristic technique, was proposed, and its results are contrasted with the most popular conventional techniques: Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and water cycle algorithm (WCA). It reveals that implementing the proposed CSA algorithms improved over all time setting concerning the most common traditional techniques such as PSO and WCA. And, after implementing the LINGO optimizer, it is proven that compared with other metaheuristic optimization techniques, the second one proposed LINGO optimizer provides advanced consequences. In a similar manner, both proposed methods were applied and determined their performances in case study II and once more LINGO proved its strength over the metaheuristic approach. Abstract : A comparative analysis of optimized total operating time of an over current relay for the microgrid protection coordination with LINGO (Linear program method) optimizer and crow search algorithm has been done.
