Demonstration of Adaptive Overcurrent Protection Using Iec 61850 Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper contains a description of an adaptive protection scheme that has been implemented and demonstrated in a hardware in the loop simulation environment using commercially available protection hardware and IEC 61850 communications. The implementation is based on an actual 11kV system which includes distributed generation and network automation. IEC 61850 communications offers several benefits for the implementation of adaptive protection, but also presents some limitations which are discussed in the paper. An alternative approach to overcome a number of the limitations is also presented.

A Hybrid Framework for Adaptive Protection of Microgrids Based on IEC 61850
Microgrids can operate both in grid-connected and islanded modes. It is essential to protect microgrids against all types of faults in both of the operation modes. Conventional overcurrent protection schemes are not adequate for microgrids due to bidirectional flow of fault current and limited flow of fault current through semiconductor devices. In addition, the setting values of all the concer...
