Abstract

This chapter addresses several key issues related to the AI-based design of FCLs and their impact on modern power grid parameters. The first part explains the general logic behind FCL placement in a power system. This is followed by an AI-based approach to determine the optimal placement of FCLs in large-scale power networks. Additionally, the chapter explores the optimal design of FCLs, addressing the key principles behind various design methodologies. An illustrative example of optimal FCL placement and design is also provided. The chapter also focuses on cybersecurity and policy trends in modern smart grids, examining how integrating FCLs can influence cybersecurity measures and evolving grid policy directions.
