A new Proposal for Enhancement of Protection Scheme for Microgrids

Abstract

To design a perfect protection scheme is a big challenge for microgrid (MG) network implementation because it can operate either grid connected mode neither islanding mode. Due to distributed generation (DGs) resources the fault current always varied steadily hence the system parameters. This research focus on two vital properties of microgrid: peer-to-peer and plug-and-play to avoid sophisticated communication network for microgrid adaptive protection schemes. A microgrid model has been proposed by conventional protection scheme and addressing all possible drawbacks along with distributed energy resources. Whole microgrid is divided into different protection zone to identify perfect fault detection techniques by analyzing corresponding system parameters. Moreover, transformer protection also considered in new proposed protection scheme.
