This study proposes a novel protection algorithm using traveling waves (TWs) for fault detection and localization. The high-order synchrosqueezing transform (FSSTH) is applied to precisely identify TWs at the relay location. FSSTH offers a sharp time–frequency representation, enhancing the accuracy and speed of fault detection. This method can accurately detect transient phenomena like TWs in DCMGs, even with noise and variable fault resistance. By using the spectral envelope with FSSTH, ridges in time–frequency representations are extracted, improving fault diagnosis. The approach differentiates external from internal faults and recognizes fault direction by assessing TW polarity. Testing on two different DCMGs showed this algorithm's high efficiency and accuracy, with fault location errors ranging from 1 to 50 meters in low-voltage and 13 to 64 meters in medium-voltage DCMGs, even under challenging conditions like high resistance (up to 500 Ω) and low signal-to-noise ratio (5 dB).

High-precision forecasting techniques are essential to address the nonlinear and complex behavior of EV charging. A hybrid structure based on deep learning, called LSTLNet, has been proposed. LSTLNet combines convolutional neural networks (CNN), gated recurrent neural networks (GRU), attention mechanisms (AM), and automatic regression (AR) models. This combination improves the deterministic forecasting model and addresses the weaknesses of CNN and GRU. Deterministic prediction, which determines only one point of consumption charge, is prone to error. Therefore, probabilistic forecasting, represented as a probability distribution function (PDF) containing comprehensive statistical information, is preferred. A smooth band limit maximum likelihood (SBLM) estimator is used to indirectly predict the PDF from the data.

This plan considers the minimization of the cost of purchasing MG's energy demand from the distribution network along with the maximization of EV parking profit in the flexibility market. In this plan, EVs with their active power control play a key role in adjusting the flexibility of the MG with RESs to compensate the power fluctuations of these resources in different scenarios. Also, they can impact network energy management with their active control. The ES in the parking lot and network is utilized to control the reactive power and voltage. This plan has expressed a nonlinear optimization model for power management of EVs equipped with ES. Then mathematical algorithms are adopted to solve the problem. The paper also states that the addition of an ES to the EVs parking can play a role in active and reactive power control and network voltage control, but its main maneuver is to improve the flexibility of the network by the combined system of EVs and ES. This issue could be done only with EVs and there is no need to use ESs. Also, ES is an electronic power converter that, if a suitable structure such as an IGBT bridge is used, in addition to power control, the harmonic current can be controlled at the same time, which results in improving the power quality of the network. However, this is not included in [<span>20</span>]. Also, the same paper includes the discussion of improving the state of network flexibility and operation. But, one of the features of using an ES is its ability to enhance the power quality of the distribution network, which is not presented in [<span>20</span>].
