Modern Power System Protection in Smart Grid presents the challenges of modernizing power system protection and solutions through emerging technologies. Chapters explain challenges such as bi-directional fault current, false trip, unsynchronous reclosing, islanding detection, and stability issues due to the smaller inertia of distributed generation. AC/DC/hybrid microgrid protection challenges such as low fault current in island mode and change of fault currents in two modes of operation are also examined. Solutions like HVDC protection, machine learning, wide area special protection, wide area fault location, adaptive schemes in transmission and distribution networks, cybersecurity, AI driven methods, and digital twin application are included.Additionally, case studies analytical tools, examples, formulations, and flowcharts are included to demonstrate the practical application of these solutions. This book is valuable for industrial engineers, academic researchers, and MSc and PhD students working on power system protection and active distribution network protection.Explains emerging power system protection methods such as HVDC protection, machine learning, and digital twin applicationsDemonstrates solutions to modern power system protection through case studies, formulations, and visual elements, including graphsExamines challenges associated with machine learning and AC/DC/hybrid microgrid protection
