Original scientific paper In this paper, the necessity of the protective relay of the micro-grid is described as the anti-islanding protection and Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT), and the fault characteristics of the renewable energy sources are analysed. The applicability of over-current protection, distance protection, differential protection, pilot protection, voltage protection and frequenc...

This research note deals with grid fault-tolerance of a doubly-fed induction generatorbased wind turbine using high-order sliding mode control. Indeed, it is proposed to assess the main and attractive features of high-order sliding modes which are robustness against external disturbances (e.g. grid) and chattering-free behavior (no extra mechanical stress on the drive train). Simulations using ...

The Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is getting wider popularity due to its ability to adapt with variable wind speed and to capture more wind energy. Though DFIG has a salient feature of the fault ride through capability, this is not sufficient to preserve the necessity of the grid code when the DFIG system is connected with the grid. To accomplish this goal, a DC resistive superconductin...

We describe a concept for circuit protection and fault current limitation in DC power systems based on the use of solid-state power switches. The approach could be useful in the increasingly widespread application of DC power distribution networks. During normal operation the power switch is always “on”. During faults, the gate of the solid-state switch is pulse modulated to prevent the circuit...

In this paper the effect of presence of wind farms on relay coordination at fault condition and transient response at reclosing condition is studied. Wind farms as one of the important distribution generations (DGs) are so effective on overcurrent relay coordination in power systems. As well as Wind farms cause to severe oscillations on voltage, power and frequency in power system after reclosi...

This paper provides a comparison of designed method fault ride through (FRT) circuit, i.e., switch-type current limiter (STFCL) and bridge-type (BFCL), to optimize the electrical parameters grid-connected solar systems (PVSs) under asymmetric single line-to-ground symmetric three-phase fault. The main differences between switch- limiters is electric component devices such as bridge rectifier, s...
