Underground faults are difficult to detect and classify reliably because transient signatures are short-lived, dispersive, and often masked by operating noise. Deployment in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) environments demands deterministic, sub-millisecond latency and transparent d...

This research presents the development of an optimized PID based load frequency control of a hybrid microgrid. The micro-grid (MG) concept allows the renewable energy sources to operate in both synchronized grid and islanded/stand-alone mode. These modes of operations of the MG have made it smart, h...
