Abstract
This paper presents a new scheme for microgrid protection using the Time-Time (TT) transform. Initially, the bus currents are processed through the TT-transform to compute the TT-matrixes. To determine the fault patterns, an appropriate index based on the TT-matrix z-score vector is introduced. A threshold is used for fault detection and classification within a few cycles from the fault inception for both grid-connected and islanded modes. A threshold selection approach using the unscented transformation (UT) is used to accommodate low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The protection scheme is evaluated through extensive simulations using PSCAD/EMTDC software for two different microgrids (MGs). Various test scenarios consisting of all shunt and high impedance faults are investigated in MGs with radial and loop topologies for grid-connected and autonomous modes of operation. The results verify that the proposed scheme can reliably detect and classify faults. Furthermore, the proposed method is robust to changes in fault parameters, and performs well under highly noisy conditions.
