Consumption of electrical energy on user sites will be affected by the number of the risks caused by disturbances; therefore, it is very important to control disturbances that occur and potentially cause disasters. In general, the electricity distribution management has provided a standard protection for users or energy consumers, but it still needs an improvement to provide a good protection from disasters due to early interruption, because the protection is given specifically for one type of disturbance, and the cause of the disturbance cannot be recognized easily through the protection devices. Moreover, these conditions require smarter electrical protection devices, as reviewed in this work by applying fuzzy logic to being protection devices. Technically, the use of fuzzy protection devices is intended for a decision support system that serves to show the condition of the electricity network. The parameters used include voltage, current, and temperature of the cable. In this study, the results of this work have stated in fuzzy logic that reflects the level of dangers in the status range, and it is stated in safe, alert and dangerous warnings. Regarding, these results, operating conditions are used as instructions for protective devices to cut off electricity in order to avoid damaged devices. In addition, the disturbance and its effects can be measured by considering the parameters in the fuzzification process. © 2020 ICIC International.
