Microgrid Protection

Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, the installation of renewable generation sources (RASs) has undergone a great deal of growth, the horizontal structure of electrical networks has led to the formation of micro grids (MGs). These electrical networks have operational benefits, since the power of the load is local and the problems of network congestion, power losses are mitigated, hence reducing the operation and generation costs. These networks also have the characteristic that they integrate highly dynamic elements with significant limitations on controllability. The early detection of faults and the security of not operating falsely under normal operating conditions in highly dynamic networks, pose a challenge to the security of protection schemes. The application of multi agent systems for adaptable solutions and on-line protection schemes can offers a viable solution.KeywordsMicro grid protection systemsMulti-agent systemFault detectionSecurity systemRenewable generation sources
