TY - JOUR TI - Comparative Analysis of Optimization Algorithms in Overcurrent Relay Optimization AB - Optimization algorithms are commonly used to solve problems aiming to find the minimum or maximum value of a specific objective function. Optimization methods use both mathematical and heuristic approaches to select the best alternative. This study aims to minimize the Overcurrent Relay Coordination (ORC) problem of Overcurrent Relays using four optimization algorithms and compare the results. Overcurrent relays are critical protective devices that detect faults and minimize damage in power systems. Proper selection and adjustment of protective relays are essential to ensure the security of power systems. ORC involves considering numerous constraints such as relay operation times and settings, load changes, and maintenance requirements in an electric distribution system. The results generated by the Saplings Growing up Algorithm (SGA), League Championship Algorithm (LCA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for the ORC problem in Hasançelebi transformer substation are compared. According to the results obtained, it is observed that the WOA produces faster results than other optimization algorithms.
