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.

A Survey- Energy Efficient Techniques in WBANIRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on energy efficient techniques in wireless body area networks (WBANs). It discusses how WBANs use sensor nodes connected to or implanted in the human body to remotely monitor health. However, the sensor nodes have limited battery life so energy efficiency is important. The document reviews several medium access control (MAC) protocols designed to minimize energy consumption, including SMAC, WISEMAC, an adaptive energy efficient MAC protocol, and a dynamic duty cycle algorithm. It finds the latter two protocols are more energy efficient than SMAC and WISEMAC based on simulations. The document also outlines sources of energy waste in WBANs and applications of WBAN technology in both medical and non-medical fields.
Frequency Scanning Techniques for Subsynchronous Resonance Screening AnalysisHardik Parikh, E.I.T.
Abstract—Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) is a well known
phenomenon that is observed in the conventional energy
generation and wind farm sites. SSR is more prone to generation sites that are directly connected to the series compensated transmission lines. Series compensation is required to improve the voltage profile and reduce transmission losses of the transmission lines. The work presented here aims to highlight the potential causes, the system configurations and the methods that are used to identify SSR. The main focus of the poster is to outline frequency scan techniques that are based on the small
signal perturbation method. The analysis generally employs
Electro Magnetic Transient Program (EMTP). This technique
provides the spectrum of frequency response to resistance and reactance. Finally, based on that we deduce the damping
provided by the system, and thereby the SSR risk to the project.

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.

Wireless sensor nodes are usually deployed in not easily accessible places to provide solution to a wide
range of application such as environmental, medical and structural monitoring. They are spatially
distributed and as a result are usually powered from batteries. Due to the limitation in providing power
with batteries, which must be manually replaced when they are depleted, and location constraints in
wireless sensor network causes a major setback on performance and lifetime of WSNs. This difficulty in
battery replacement and cost led to a growing interest in energy harvesting. The current practice in energy
harvesting for sensor networks is based on practical and simulation approach. The evaluation and
validation of the WSN systems is mostly done using simulation and practical implementation. Simulation is
widely used especially for its great advantage in evaluating network systems. Its disadvantages such as the
long time taken to simulate and not being economical as it implements data without proper analysis of all
that is involved ,wasting useful resources cannot be ignored. In most times, the energy scavenged is directly
wired to the sensor nodes. We, therefore, argue that simulation – based and practical implementation of
WSN energy harvesting system should be further strengthened through mathematical analysis and design
procedures. In this work, we designed and modeled the energy harvesting system for wireless sensor nodes
based on the input and output parameters of the energy sources and sensor nodes. We also introduced the
use of supercapacitor as buffer and intermittent source for the sensor node. The model was further tested in
a Matlab environment, and found to yield a very good approach for system design.

The work with feature of self-power supply by solar cell or by the battery or together at the same time. Therefore, the power dissipation is the big problem in wireless sensor network (WSN) especially when it is works for long time. The efficient method for reducing the power consumption within working is needed. The process of reducing waste power is one of the top priorities of scientists and designers of wireless sensor networks. The aim of this paper is to find the dominant method to reduce the power consumption in the wireless sensor network in order to stay works for long time and maintain the links with other nodes without loss of connection and transfer the information correctly. In this paper, a modified method was invented to minimize power utilization per data bit in a connection. This new method depends on the optimization process for reducing the power consumption as low as possible. All the tests of simulation process were done in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Numerical results demonstrated that the new method reduce the power when different values of noise are present with different types of modulation. Also the distance that the WSN will reach the information to it will be increase with presence of various noise amounts with different types of modulation. As a result, the power was decreased and the signal was reach more distance.

All the tests of simulation process were done in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Numerical results demonstrated that the new method reduce the power when different values of noise are present with different types of modulation. Also the distance that the WSN will reach the information to it will be increase with presence of various noise amounts with different types of modulation. As a result, the power was decreased and the signal was reach more distance.

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.

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

As demand for smaller, quicker, and more powerful devices rises, Moore's law is strictly followed. The industry has worked hard to make little devices that boost productivity. The goal is to optimize device density. Scientists are reducing connection delays to improve circuit performance. This helped them understand three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) concepts, which stack active devices and create vertical connections to diminish latency and lower interconnects.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's

leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate

Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's

from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two

Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb

simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC

Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.
A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

A Transient Current Based Micro-Grid Connected Power System Protection Scheme... (S.Chandra Shekar)

power, current level of fault and its direction, device discrimination, uneven tripping, protection blinding, etc.
There are some main issues like determination of the time at the time of islanding from the main grid in
response to abnormalities. Conventional methods of detection and discrimination of faults are becoming
unreliable due to increasing size of the network and inefficient algorithms. Setting of threshold levels based
on current or voltage amplitudes are frequently prone to mistakes such that a tripping decision may be
become wrong judgement for small disturbances in the system and sometimes give the maloperation of
tripping without any fault in the system. The necessacity of well coordinated and reliably protection scheme
is needed so that it can be tripped reliably during the occurance of a fault within it. The research proposed
here is done for the detection, discrimination and location of faults on DER’s integration in transmission
network using Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis using Wavelet transform. For this purpose the 3-Ф
current signals of the local terminal are decomposed with Mother Biorthogonal 1.5 wavelet, over a ½ cycle
window and analysed the hidden information of fault situation in the network. The detection and
discrimination of fault can be done within a ½ cycle using detail-coefficients of current signals.A new
algorithm is described which is independent of fault impedance fault location and FIA. The proposed
protection scheme is proven to be fast, accurate and reliable for various types of faults on Micro-grid
Connected Power System.
2. TECHNICAL CHALLENGES IN MICRO-GRID PROTECTION
The micro-grid has number of challenges mainly protection, controlling and dispatching
perspective [7]. But due to their specific mode of characteristics and operation, this protection scheme has to
deal with new technical challenges [8]. The major challenges are protection scheme for micro-grid must
respond to main grid and micro-grid faults. In case one, the protection scheme has to separate the micro-grid
from main grid rapidly to protect micro-grid loads. In case two, the protection scheme has to separate the
least priority part of micro-grid rapidly to clear the fault in the system. Some issues relate to protection of
micro-grids and distributed grids with a large interconnection of DER’s have been discussed in recent
publications. They are related to a number of installed units in the micro-grid and availability of sufficient
level of shortcircuit current in the islanding mode of micro-grid. The shortcircuit current calculations of
radial feeders with DER’s and observed that shortcircuit currents which are used in overcurrent protection
relays depend on a connection point and a feed-in power from DER’s. In order to get high performance and
better AC power quality of the converters, it is worthful to control directly the phase angle and magnitude of
3-Ф supply currents [3]. In addition, controllable islanding of different size and content can be formed due to
faults in the main grid or within micro-grid.
In such case relay loss of co-ordination may occur and standard overcurrent protection with one trip
setting group may become unsatisfactory, therefore, it is essential to ensure that trip settings to be chosen for
overcurrent protection relays taken into account with respect to grid topology, change in location, quantity
and type of power generation. Otherwise, maloperation or failure of operation may occur when it is required.
This paper is discussed a novel adaptive micro-grid protection scheme [4, 5] concept by using advanced type
communication system, real time measurements and data collection from offline shortcircuit analysis [6].
This concept is based on an adaptation of protective relay trip settings with regard to a micro-grid topology,
generation and variation in loads. A segmentation of micro-grid must supported by micro-sources and load
controllers. In these circumstances problems relates selectivity and sensitivity of protection scheme may
arise.
3. WAVELET ANALYSIS
Wavelet Transform is a linear transformation like a Fourier-Transform, with only one important
difference: for a given signal it permits time localization of different frequency components. So, it is a
mathematical analysis used in signal analysis. Wavelet analysis is particularly effective where the signals to
be analyzed have discontinuities or transients, e.g., voltage or current signls after the fault. In wavelet
transform, the analyzing functions are called Wavelets. The wavelets adjust their time width to their
frequency in which, high frequency wavelets are narrow and low frequency ones are wider. Wavelet
transform is a tool that cuts the data/functions/operators into different components of frequency, and then
analyse resolution matched with each component to its scale [9].
Wavelets decomposes signals of transients in the form of series of wavelet components having each
of time domain signals that covers a specific octave frequency band having detailed information. These
wavelet components are useful for detecting and discriminating the sources of surges. Hence, it is feasible
and practically proved for analyzing signals of disturbances and transients [10].

Wavelet transform plays great importance in power sector since a decade, because it is well suited
for the analysis of transient signals than other transforms approaches. Power transmission network
protection is done with a set of basic functions called Wavelets used to decompose the signal in various
frequencies, which are obtained from a Mother Biorthogonal 1.5 wavelet by dilation and translation. So that
incidence and amplitude of each frequency can be found accurately [11]. A given function f(t), its continuous
wavelet transform be calculated as follows:
𝑊𝑇(𝑎, 𝑏) =
1
√𝑎
𝑥(𝑡)𝑔
𝑡 − 𝑏
𝑎
𝑑𝑡
Where ‘a’ is scaling (dilation) & ‘b’ is translation (time-shift) constants and ‘g’ is the function of wavelet for
simplicity which may not be real as assumed in the equation [12]. The selection of mother-wavelet is based
on type of signal. In the following section a novel method of Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis of
transient currents associated with the fault is discussed for detection and discrimination of faults [13].
4. SYSTEM MODELLING AND RESULT ANALYSIS
Solar Photovoltaic and wind energy have emerged energy sources interconnected to a point of
common coupling to the main grid with an aim to to generate power that will improve reliability in power
supply against the load demand. Both Solar Photovoltaic and wind energy are variable in nature and depends
on climatic changes. Fortunately, the problems can be moderately overcome by integrating the DER’s to
form a hybrid Micro-grid system, power generation of one source overcome the limitation of the other power
generation [14]. The DER’s connected to Micro-grid are allocated to compensate the shortage power as per
load demands. However, the interfacing of Micro-grid with these DER’s makes number of power quality and
islanding issues which must be detected, analyzed and mitigated effectively. Solar photovoltaic system has
the array of cells consists of PV material in which solar radiation converts to DC and further DC is converted
into the alternating current via inverter then it is connected to utilitygrid. Maximum power obtained from
Solar Photovoltaic system directly proportional to solar irradiance intensity. Wind turbine operates like a
prime mover coupled to DC generator. A Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique converts output of DC
generator to 3-Ф AC voltage. Whenever rotor blades strike the wind, wind turbine extracts maximum K.E
from the wind. PWM is used to obtain 3-Ф AC voltage from the output of DC generator.
A 60km length transmission network is considered in between Bus1 and Bus2 as test case in this
paper. At 10km distance of transmission network at bus3 formulated with wind energy source of capacity
9MVA, 575V through a transformer of 575V/25KV is connected. A bus4 formulated with battery, Solar
Photovoltaic and Fuel cell energy source of capacity 400KVA connected through transformer of
575V/25KV. Using the power system block set (PSB) and the SIMULINK software, the test system is
simulated. The test system single line diagram is shown in Figure 1 and model simulation diagram as
described in Figure 2.
The complete algorithm of the proposed scheme is provided below:
Step 1: Determination of the phase currents
Step 2: Calculation of detailed-coefficients and sum of detailed-coefficients
Step 3: Comparison of sum of detailed-coefficients with the threshold value
Step 4: Identification of fault on the terminals
Step 5: Classification of the fault type at the terminal by comparing with threshold value
The 3-Ф currents of the local terminal are analyzed with Mother Biorthogonal 1.5 wavelet to obtain
the detailed-coefficients over a ½ cycle length moving window. The detailed-coefficients are calculated from
the Bus1, Bus 2, Bus3 and Bus4 to obtain effective D1 coefficients. The each phase Fault Index is then
calculated.
The results are plotted for different faults are given below. The location of fault in the system can be
observed by comparing variation of measured current index at all buses. Figure 3 shows that the Double line

5. CONCLUSIONS
The protection scheme must ensure that safe operation of the micro-grid in both modes of operation,
i.e the grid connected mode and island mode. Due to contribution of host grid in grid connected mode fault
currents are large and Micro-grids comprise Distributed Energy Resources (DER’s) with LVdistribution
systems having controllable loads which 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.The provision of properly
reliable and coordinated protection scheme can reliably trip in the event of a fault within it. In this paper, the
test system is created and simulated using the power system block set with SIMULINK software. Wavelet
based Multi-resolution Analysis is used for detection, discrimination and location of faults on transmission
network. D1 detail-coefficients of current signals using Mother Biorthogonal 1.5 wavelets are used to
detection, discrimination and location of fault. The proposed protection scheme is found to be fast, reliable
and accurate for various types of faults on transmission network with micro-grid containing fuel cell, wind
turbine, solar photovoltaic and battery generation system.
