Distance protection in microgrids
To solve the two problems, a new inverse-time distance (ITD) protection for medium-voltage AC microgrids was proposed in this paper. . The conventional overcurrent protection is ineffective in isolating faults in microgrids due to the low fault current levels contributed by inverter-interfaced distributed generations (IIDGs). The design of both systems must consider the system topology, what generation and/or storage resources can be connected, and microgrid operational states (including grid-connected, islanded, and transitions between the two).Read More Download PDF
