Differential positive sequence power angle-based microgrid feeder protection

Power Differential based Wide Area Protection

Current differential based wide area protection (WAP) has recently been proposed as a technique to increase the reliability of protection systems. It increases system stability and can prevent large contingencies such as cascading outages and blackouts. This paper describes how power differential protection (PDP) can be used within a WAP and shows that the algorithm operates correctly for a...

Microgrid Fault Protection Based on Symmetrical and Differential Current Components

A Novel Protection Method for Single Line-to-Ground Faults in Ungrounded Low-Inertia Microgrids

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel protection method for single line-to-ground (SLG) faults in ungrounded low-inertia microgrids. The proposed method includes microgrid interface protection and unit protection. The microgrid interface protection is based on the difference between the zero-sequence voltage angle and the zero-sequence current angle at the microgrid interconnection transformer ...

A Novel Approach for Microgrid Protection Based upon Combined ANFIS and Hilbert Space-Based Power Setting

Abstract: Nowadays, the use of distributed generation (DG) has increased because of benefits such as increased reliability, reduced losses, improvement in the line capacity, and less environmental pollution. The protection of microgrids, which consist of generation sources, is one of the most crucial concerns of basic distribution operators. One of the key issues in this field is the protection...

Microprocessor Based Differential Protection Of A Feeder Depending On Phase Comparison Of Current

Aim of this paper is to protect a transmission line section/feeder from internal faults by means of differential protection through a microprocessor. The conventional differential relay operates on the circulating current principle, which involves a direct comparison of the magnitude and phase of the currents entering and leaving the protected equipment or line section. The present scheme is ba...
