Abstract

A microgrid (MG) includes Distributed Energy Resources (DER), controllable load with adequate protection scheme in an Electrical Power Distribution System. Renewable energy sources (RES) is expected to provide efficient, low cost and clean energy with decentralized generation, storage and local consumption with MG. In this paper an Adaptive Over Current Relays (AOCR) scheme in distribution networks (DN) considering intermittency of Distributed Generation (DG) operations using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is proposed. The onsite study included actual verification of protection scheme, the impact of DG on protection system and protection coordination. A part of the IEEE 44 nodes radial distribution test feeder is taken for modelling & simulating the proposed AOCR using Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) software environment.
