MicroGrid and Energy Storage System COMPLETE DETAILS NEW PPT Abin Baby
A microgrid is a localized grouping of electricity generation, energy storage, and loads that normally operates connected to a traditional centralized grid (macrogrid). This single point of common coupling with the macrogrid can be disconnected. The microgrid can then function autonomously. Generation and loads in a microgrid are usually interconnected at low voltage. From the point of view of the grid operator, a connected microgrid can be controlled as if it were one entity.
Microgrid generation resources can include fuel cells, wind, solar, or other energy sources. The multiple dispersed generation sources and ability to isolate the microgrid from a larger network would provide highly reliable electric power. Produced heat from generation sources such as micro turbines could be used for local process heating or space heating, allowing flexible trade off between the needs for heat and electric power.
The presentation discusses smart grid technology, including its attributes, reasons for use, components, users, and how it works. A smart grid uses information technologies to improve how electricity is delivered from power plants to consumers. It allows for two-way interaction between consumers and the grid and integrates new technologies. Key benefits include reduced costs, improved reliability, efficiency and capacity, enabling predictive maintenance and automated operations.

A transient current based micro grid connected power system protection scheme...IJECEIAES
Micro-grids comprise Distributed Energy Resources (DER’s) with low voltage distribution networks having controllable loads those can operate with different voltage levels are connected to the micro-grid and operated in grid mode or islanding mode in a coordinated way of control. DER’s provides clear environment-economical benefits for society and consumer utilities. But their development poses great technical challenges mainly protection of main and micro grid. Protection scheme must have to respond to both the main grid and micro-grid faults. If the fault is occurs on main grid, the response must isolate the DER’s from the main grid rapidly to protect the system loads. If the fault ocuurs within the micro-grid, the protection scheme must coordinate and isolates the least priority possible part of the grid to eliminate the fault. In order to deal with the bidirectional energy flow due to large numbers of micro sources new protection schemes are required. The system is simulated using MATLAB Wavelet Tool box and Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis is considered. Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis is used for detection, discrimination and location of faults on transmission network. This paper is discussed a transient current based micro-grid connected power system protection scheme using Wavelet Approach described on wavelet detailed-coefficients of Mother Biorthogonal 1.5 wavelet. The proposed algorithm is tested in micro-grid connected power systems environment and proved for the detection, discrimination and location of faults which is almost independent of fault impedance, fault inception angle (FIA) and fault distance of feeder line.

IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering(IOSR-JEEE) is a double blind peer reviewed International Journal that provides rapid publication (within a month) of articles in all areas of electrical and electronics engineering and its applications. The journal welcomes publications of high quality papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in electrical and electronics engineering. Original research papers, state-of-the-art reviews, and high quality technical notes are invited for publications.
This document discusses an adaptive protection scheme to prevent recloser-fuse miscoordination in distribution feeders with distributed generation. The presence of distributed generation can interfere with the coordination between reclosers and fuses by changing fault current levels. The proposed method adaptively modifies recloser time dial settings to address this issue. The method is tested on a simulation of an actual distribution feeder assuming different distributed generation capacities and locations. Optimization is also performed to determine the optimal location and capacity of two distributed generation units while maintaining recloser-fuse coordination and minimizing losses.
Dealing With Reactive Power in Islanded Micro Grid Corresponding Power Distri...ijtsrd
A Micro grid MG is a local energy system consisting of a number of energy sources e.g., wind turbine or solar panels among others , energy storage units, and loads that operate connected to the main electrical grid or autonomously. MGs provide flexibility, reduce the main electricity grid dependence, and contribute to changing large centralized production paradigm to local and distributed generation. However, such energy systems require complex management, advanced control, and optimization. Moreover, the power electronics converters have to be used to correct energy conversion and be interconnected through a common control structure is necessary. A classical droop control system is often implemented in MG. It allows correct operation of parallel voltage sourced converters in grid connection, as well as islanded mode of operation. However, it requires complex power management algorithms, especially in islanded MGs, which balance the system and improves reliability. The novel reactive power sharing algorithm is developed, which takes into account the parameters of the converter as apparent power limit and maximum active power. The developed solution is verified in simulation and compared with other known reactive power control methods. G. Amulya | Dr. S. V. D.

Fault protection of a loop type low voltage dc bus based microgridsIAEME Publication
This document proposes a fault protection scheme for a loop-type low voltage DC microgrid system. The scheme uses differential relaying between a master controller and two slave controllers located at either end of a DC bus transmission line. When a fault is detected based on a current difference, the master controller commands the slave controllers to open solid state switches and isolate only the faulty section, allowing the rest of the system to continue operating. The scheme aims to quickly detect and isolate faults while maintaining power supply to loads. Simulation results using MATLAB Simulink are presented to demonstrate the proposed concepts.

This document discusses power quality enhancement techniques for hybrid AC/DC microgrids. A microgrid consists of distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries that can operate connected or disconnected from the main power grid. When operating independently, control methods are needed to coordinate the AC and DC sub-grids. The performance of a hybrid microgrid system is analyzed in this paper using MATLAB/Simulink. Key challenges for microgrids are discussed like protection systems and maintaining stability with variable DERs and loads.
Abstract-- Microgrids are miniature versions of traditional grids.
They comprise of distributed energy resources like wind turbine, Photovoltaic, Storage devices like batteries and renewable resources of power systems. They can operate in two modes, viz. Connected mode, where they are connected to the Main grid; and island mode, where they are isolated from Main grid. While microgrids offer advantages like improved reliability, stability,and efficiency; their implementation poses different technical challenges specifically for protection of microgrid. It is essential to protect a micro grid in both the grid-connected and the island mode of operation against all different types of faults. This paper gives literature review for different challenges and protection of techniques for microgrid protection.
PROTECTION OF MICROGRID FROM HIGH IMPEDANCE FAULT USING DIFFERENTIAL RELAYijiert bestjournal
As source of traditional energy is vanishes day by day,importance of microgrid increasing very effectively. In traditional generation and transmission of electrical power we have to rely on frequency and generation of power but in case of microgrid we have to depend on whether condition. Managing these systems to change of atmospheric condition becomes challenging . All study going on all over world related to microgrid protection of microgrid is one of them. Micro grids can either operate connected to the grid,or in the case of a grid fault,in an islanded mod e. Effect of high impedance fault is studied in this paper,by taking help of Matlab - Simulink�s SimPower Systems . We model a microgrid containing mix of renewable DG and one dispatch able source,we then simulate the HIF fault at one of the bus in both gri d - connect and island modes and analyze fault currents and voltage levels in order to determine how the protection scheme of the distribution network would need to be changed to facilitate microgrid functionality. We show that standard protection methods ar e insufficient and propose the use of digital relays which is different from traditional system.

EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK IN REALISTIC SMART GRID ENV...ijwmn
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a strong candidate for smart grid applications, such as advanced metering infrastructure, demand response management, dynamic pricing, load control, electricity fraud detection, fault diagnostics, substation monitoring and control as well as automation of various elements of the power grid. The realization of these applications directly depends on efficiency of communication facilities among power grid elements. However, the harsh power grid environmental conditions with
obstacles, noise, interference, and fading pose great challenges to reliability of these facilities to monitor and control the power grid. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate performance of WSNs in different power grid environments such as 500 kv substations, main power control room, and underground network transformer vaults.

EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK IN REALISTIC SMART GRID ENV...ijwmn
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a strong candidate for smart grid applications, such as advanced metering infrastructure, demand response management, dynamic pricing, load control, electricity fraud detection, fault diagnostics, substation monitoring and control as well as automation of various elements of the power grid. The realization of these applications directly depends on efficiency of communication facilities among power grid elements. However, the harsh power grid environmental conditions with obstacles, noise,interference, and fading pose great challenges to reliability of these facilities to monitor and control the power grid. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate performance of WSNs in different power grid environments such as 500 kv substations, main power control room, and underground network transformer vaults. The power grid environments are modeled using a log-normal shadowing path loss model channel with realistic parameters. The network is simulated and performance is evaluated using packet delivery ratio, communication delay, and energy consumption. The simulation results have revealed that different environments have considerable impacts on performance of WSNs which make it suitable for most applications that need low data rate with low reliability requirements.
A personalized Wireless Sensor Network Communication Model for computerizatio...IOSR Journals
This document proposes a personalized wireless sensor network communication model for automating electric power distribution. It involves using sensor networks to monitor parameters like voltage, current, temperature across the distribution system. Sensors would be grouped into clusters and use a virtual MIMO scheme within clusters to reduce errors from transients. Between clusters, a location-aware GEAR routing protocol would be used to route data to monitoring stations efficiently. This decentralized approach could automate operations faster than current centralized SCADA systems while reducing power consumption. It could also help detect electricity theft by strategically placing sensor nodes along transmission lines.

The microgrid consists of synchronous generators, a photovoltaic module, and a wind farm, and is modelled in RSCAD. The protection scheme retrieves current samples after a fault occurs and uses transforms to extract statistical features to build a machine learning model for fault detection and classification, which will be validated on additional data and implemented on an RTDS platform integrated with Matlab. Extensive testing will evaluate the performance of the proposed intelligent relaying scheme for microgrids under different operating conditions.

A Comprehensive Review of Protection Schemes for Distributed GenerationUmair Shahzad
Due to the increasing demand of energy and the need for nonconventional energy sources, distributed generation (DG) has come into play. The trend of unidirectional power flow has been gradually shifting. With new technology comes new challenges, the introduction of DG into the conventional power system brings various challenges; one of the major challenges is system protection under DG sources. These sources pose a significant challenge due to bidirectional flows from DGs as well as lower fault current contribution from inverter interfaced DGs. This paper reviews existing protection schemes that have been suggested for active distribution networks. Most of these protection strategies apply only to smaller distribution systems implying that they may need to be extended to larger systems with a much higher penetration of distributed generation. In the end, a potential protection scheme has also been recommended as a future work.
Power Flow Analysis using Power World SimulatorUmair Shahzad
The importance of power flow analysis cannot be overrated. In the scope of Electrical Power Engineering, it is very vital for the utility as well as the consumer to know about several electrical quantities including voltages and power flows regarding power systems.

A Quantitative Comparison of Wind and Solar EnergyUmair Shahzad
This is the age of renewable energy technology. Gone are the days, when conventional energy sources were given significance. These sources include coal, oil and natural gas. They are a major cause of air pollution. Moreover, they will end up one day and hence cannot be relied upon. Due to these large amount of demerits, the usage of conventional (non renewable) fossils fuels is being discontinued. They are being gradually replaced by renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, hydro and biomass. When it comes to selection between wind and solar energy, many important factors need to be considered. This paper briefly presents merits and demerits of both types of sources along with their challenges.
Renewable Energy Education and Awareness at the University Level in PakistanUmair Shahzad
The rapid increase in the enrolment of students at higher education level in Pakistan in recent years is
expected to grow further. It is very essential for universities to update the educational curriculum according to latest
technological needs .Energy is a significant issue of Pakistan. The country has been facing severe crisis of energy since last
two decades. Availability of educated and trained personnel is important for successfully implementing any plans for
alternative energy sources. Owing to rising concerns about fossil fuel depletion and global climate change, there is an
imperative need for renewable energy experts and specialists, who are able to design, install and maintain these systems.
Most of the engineers are not even aware of the working technology of renewable energy systems, therefore, it is essential to
devise and introduce new courses and curriculum which prepare engineers of the future to work with renewables to utilize
alternative energy systems and contribute their part in putting an end to energy crisis. Gone are the days when miniscule
knowledge of renewable energy was sufficient for students. In today’s era, it is crucial to include courses which cover the
domains of technology, resources, design, implementation, economics, policies and applications of renewable energy
systems. At present, there is no strong foundation at various universities to provide education and awareness regarding
renewable energy and its long term benefits. The role of internet is very vital regarding renewable energy education and
awareness. This paper presents the importance of imparting renewable energy education to students at university level in
Pakistan.
An ever growing population means an ever growing requirement for energy. Nowadays, enormity of energy cannot be denied. It
is essential in every walk of life. Energy sources can be broadly classified as renewable and non renewable. Knowing the
dreadful fact that nonrenewable sources will eventually deplete, the importance of renewable sources cannot be underestimated.
The most important aspect while utilizing them is their impact on the environment. This paper briefly presents the importance
of renewable sources of energy owing to the backdrop of fossil fuel dilemma. Major emphasis is placed on the use of alternative
energy technologies. Some applications of renewable sources and future of energy is also discussed
The Importance of Renewable Energy Sources in PakistanUmair Shahzad
Pakistan has been facing acute energy crisis since last numerous years. The demand for energy is increasing rapidly in Pakistan. Energy is one of the most vital development priorities of Pakistan. The economy of Pakistan is mainly reliant on the electricity being produced by coal, oil, and natural gas. The total energy produced only makes up for a part of the total energy consumption. On the contrary, Pakistan possesses a huge potential for renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydropower and biomass. Proper development and implementation of these alternative energy technologies can bring many benefits to the country in terms of energy, economy, environment and national security. Therefore, the key aim of this paper is to present the current energy situation and potential of renewable energy sources in Pakistan and link these factors with economy and business priorities.
Global Warming: Causes, Effects and SolutionsUmair Shahzad
Many researchers, engineers and environmentalists are expressing deep concerns about changes in the overall climate of the planet. Fossil fuels are being continuously used to produce electricity. The burning of these fuels produces gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides which lead to global warming. Deforestation is also leading to warmer temperatures. The hazard of global warming is continuously causing major damage to the Earth's environment. Most people are still unaware of global warming and do not consider it to be a big problem in years to come. What most people do not understand is that global warming is currently happening, and we are already experiencing some of its withering effects. It is and will severely affect ecosystems and disturb ecological balance. Because of the treacherous effects of global warming, some solutions must be devised. The paper introduces global warming, elaborates its causes and hazards and presents some solutions to solve this hot issue. Above all, alternative energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, bio mass) need to be seriously pursued. Finding and using renewable sources of energy is one of the methods to combat the ever increasing global warming effectively.
Control Schemes for Distribution Grids with Mass Distributed GenerationUmair Shahzad
This paper discusses the control schemes for distribution grids with a large amount of wind penetration. Microgrids are constantly gaining popularity, especially in the countries, where there is energy crisis. They are an effective way for providing power to local loads. In case of main grid failure, they ensure smooth and seamless power transfer. Various electrical systems, including synchronous generators, grid and loads, have been investigated in this paper. All simulation work is carried out using SimPower Systems. Major focus is placed on active and reactive power sharing. Load transients have also been modelled. Moreover, power sharing under variable wind has also been simulated and analysed.

Microgrid
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), a microgrid is “a group of interconnected
loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a
single controllable entity with respect to the grid (and can) connect and disconnect from the grid
to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or islanded mode.”
Microsources
Sources connected to microgrids are called micro sources. They include photovoltaic (PV) arrays,
wind turbines, micro turbines ,synchronous generators, combined heat and power (CHP) plants,
flywheels, fuel cells, super capacitors, induction generators, electric vehicles and battery energy
storage systems.

Protection scheme employing digital relays and a communication system
The primary protection in grid-connected mode is based on a differential communication
scheme where each feeder segment trips the switching device on both ends of a faulted feeder.
Under islanded mode, the scheme detects high impedance faults.
Errors and Mismatches in CT.
High cost of switching devices and relays.

In this scheme, a central computer is used to regulate the settings of protective devices upon
receiving data about network topologies and distributed generation connections or
disconnections. This action is performed to maintain coordination between various devices.

15. Voltage-based Protection
Protection using disturbed voltage signal
In this scheme, communication is employed to transfer voltage signals between any
two relays to recognize the fault zone. The process basically consists of three steps.
1. Supply voltages are converted from abc frame to dq frame.
2. The disturbance signal is determined by using disturbed dq values. This signal
characterizes the deviation of supply voltages from a set reference. The
greater the value of this signal, the greater the disturbance. The disturbance
signal is an indicator that disturbance is present in the system.
3. Disturbed signal is passed and processed through a low pass filter (LPF) and a
hysteresis comparator (HYS). Lower and upper limits of a comparator
determine fault detection sensitivity.
No consideration of high impedance faults and symmetrical faults.

values from the database system.
Scheme for low-voltage microgrid
An adaptive protective scheme for a low voltage microgrid where a communication network
connects a microgrid management system and various components of the microgrids is
proposed.
The microgrid management system detects any change in microgrid configuration and sends
appropriate settings to protective devices.
Possibility of communication failures has been neglected.

Instead of the conventional differential line protection scheme, the scheme uses the concept of
differential zone protection.
An algorithm for appropriate placement of sensors and relays is also devised.
The scheme has not been tested experimentally.
Protection using differential current
A protection scheme based on differential current is proposed. It employs overcurrent relays
and communication links in a microgrid having converter-based and directly coupled DG sources.

21. Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent (OC) protection is one of the most effective and efficient methods when applied to
traditional radial distribution networks. Combined with a directional element, they form a strong
entity to protect the distributed grid in grid-connected mode .
Protection in the presence of wind turbines
The IEEE 13 bus system with wind turbines as DG sources (in islanded mode) is used to observe a
three-phase fault .
The locations of DGs were changed to observe the variations in fault current levels.
Directional over current relays were used to counter the bidirectional flow of the current.
The scheme does not consider other types of DG.
Penetration levels of DG are fixed.
Only a three-phase fault is considered.

24. Distance Protection
This protection offers high selectivity, particularly when applied to transmission lines. Impedance at each relay
location is calculated by dividing the voltage at the relay location by the current flowing through it.
Usually, three zones are defined for the region to be protected.
Protection using Mho characteristics
The scheme uses distance relaying with Mho characteristics in a microgrid protection plan. According to the
designed protection criteria, Zone 1 covers 80% of the protected line; and Zone 2 covers the entire line plus 50%
of the subsequent line.
The designed scheme may lead to a redundant operation scenario due to violation of coordination rules.
Protection on a MV microgrid
A distance protection scheme is simulated on a MV microgrid using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. Different
modes of the network are analyzed and tested. Wind turbines are used as source of DG.
Variations of fault currents seen by forward relays are much larger than backward relays.

A typical multiagent is a combination of hardware and software agents distributed in the
network which collectively work to achieve a desired global goal. In this case, the goal is the
protection of the power system.
Three layers: Equipment Layer, Substation Layer and System Layer.
The overcurrent relays are in the equipment layer. It is the lowest layer which also contains the
measurement (management), protector, performer, and mobile agent.
The substation layer communicates with the equipment layers and sends the information to the
system layer. The substation layer includes region, mobile, and management agents.
The system layer is the highest layer which monitors the entire network by communication with
substation layer.

Summary of Protection Schemes
30. Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs)
A phasor measurement unit (PMU) is a device which measures the electrical waveforms on the
grid using a common time source for synchronization.
Time synchronization allows synchronized real-time measurements of multiple remote
measurement points on the grid.
The receiver section receives the Global Positioning System (GPS) transmission which then
delivers a phase-locked sampling clock pulse to the analog to digital converter mechanism.
The sampled data is transformed to a complex number which characterizes the sampled
waveform phasor.
Phasors of the three phases are merged to give the positive sequence measurement.
Computation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) enables the signal (voltage or current) to
be measured.

32. Phasor Measurement Units
PMUs are an excellent way of measuring real time magnitude and the phase angle of voltages
and currents at various points in the system.
Very effective when applied to real time control and protection applications.
The communication network needed to support this technology is expensive.
It is difficult to visualize and monitor huge amount of output data.
Algorithms are computationally heavy.

33. Suggested Protection Scheme
A single scheme cannot accurately protect an active distribution system.
A hybrid scheme integrating traditional schemes (overcurrent, distance etc.) and modern
schemes (employing PMUs, IEDs and real time communication and control ) is a likely solution.
The choice of scheme will depend on the type of microgrid structure, type and control of DG
sources, cost and required reliability, selectivity, sensitivity, security and speed.

46. Conclusions
Protection of active distribution networks present many challenges.
Conventional overcurrent protection works correctly only for radial systems.
Protection coordination is affected due to bidirectional power flows in active distribution
systems.
It is important to take into account IEEE-1547 standards while designing the protection
schemes for active distribution networks.
The aim of the presentation was to comprehensively review the existing protection schemes
related to active distribution systems.
A lot of work has been done in this direction but there is still a lot more to be explored to
overcome the critical protection problems and improve the existing works.
