AB This article shows an original and efficient way to consider transient  configurations in optimal coordination of directional overcurrent  protections. In the proposed method, the constraints related to  transient configurations are directly included as simple linear  constraints in problem formulation. This procedure is quite different  than previous approaches, which need approximate or non-linear methods  to solve the optimization problem. On the other hand, it is shown here  that constraints related to transient configurations can have an  important effect on results. Consequently, these constraints must be  included in order to properly formulate the optimization problem.  Furthermore, it is shown a method to properly include the interrupting  time of circuit breaker which originates the transient configuration, in  order to adequately formulate the optimization problem. In the analyzed  examples, the effect of including this interrupting time was very low  on optimal settings, and such an effect is more notorious in the optimal  value of the objective function.
