The protection systems of power grids play a fundamental role in maintaining the reliability of energy delivery by detecting and isolating faulty components. In the last few years, significant challenges have been posed to power system protection by a host of emerging features in modern grids. The proposed program will develop the next-generation protection methods that overcome the current obstacles for (i) protection of transmission systems with renewable sources, (ii) protection of microgrids, (iii) cyber-security of protection systems, and (iv) protection of direct-current systems. These methods will reduce the likelihood of power outages and enable greener and more efficient grids.
