This study proposes combining fuzzy inference system and support vector machine based voltage relays for voltage disturbance detection in micro-distribution systems (MDSs). Moreover, the coordination characteristic curves of the trigger time versus dynamic errors are proposed for under-voltage and over-voltage protection. Modified coordination characteristic curves use a critical trigger time to isolate the faults. An support vector machine (SVM) is a multi-layer decision-making model, which detects voltage disturbances, such as voltage swell, voltage sag, voltage unbalance, and faults. Computer simulations are conducted, using an IEEE 30-bus power system and micro-distribution systems, to show the effectiveness of the proposed voltage relays.
