Abstract

AbstractPresenting cloud energy storage system (CESS) in the landscape of storage devices exposes microgrids (MGs) to a substantial change. Employing a specific type of inverter namely synchronverter as the connecting interface for CESS gains high inertial response in MGs with high penetration level of inverter‐based distributed generations (IBDGs). However, high fault contribution of synchronverters can lead to challenging issues. Nevertheless, presence of fault resistance which results in malfunctioning of the recloser‐fuse pair intensifies the cruciality of the dilemma. In this paper, at the outset, the effects of contribution of synchronverter‐based CESS and also fault resistance on recloser‐fuse protection are explored and then, a new algorithm is proposed for tackling these bottlenecks. To overcome these hurdles, the conventional recloser‐fuse scheme is applied at first. Then, by using the obtained schemes for fast and slow operations of the recloser, a specific part of them is set in a manner that the fuse‐saving task is performed properly even when the synchronverter‐based CESS is deployed. On the other hand, the other part of the recloser scheme is altered in a way that the maloperation of the recloser‐fuse pair owing to the fault resistance is alleviated. Adequate numerical analyses are conducted to evaluate the proposed scheme.
