  1. 1. Microgrid Safety and Protection Strategies

    University essay from KTH/Elektroteknisk teori och konstruktion

    Author : Aryudha Hartono; [2018]
    Keywords : IB-RES; grid-connected mode; islanded mode; short circuit; IED; directional zero and negative sequence current protection; unbalanced load flow; protection coordination; fault ride-through;

    Abstract : One of the challenging issues with the Microgrid is that the bidirectional power flow providedby the distributed generator (DG) which modify the fault current level. Furthermore, theinverter based-renewable energy source (IB-RES) limits the total fault current contributionto the grid due to its thermal capability. READ MORE
