Abstract
The attractiveness towards the DC Microgrid is mounting rapidly due to self-sustained arrangement that consist of distributed energy resources (DERs) which can also work in an islanded mode at the time of grid failures. DC Microgrid provides significant benefits, such as cost-effectiveness, reliability, safety, simplicity, better energy efficiency etc. but at the protection aspect, DC Microgrid has to face some severe issues. Hence this paper tries to focus on the challenges related to the protection schemes for DC Microgrid along with the loopholes of present schemes. The paper mainly focused on the traditional protection schemes and Special Techniques based Protection Schemes of DC Microgrid. Thus, the current study first reviews different DC Microgrid protection scheme and challenges and then overviews various technical and common issues presented in literature, all carried out in a comprehensive manner. Finally, this paper offers a scenario of the current state of DC Microgrid protection, and discovers research gaps along with the suggestions for future research directions.
