Abstract

Microgrid is a localized power network of connected loads and energy distribution sources that may operate autonomously with respect to the main central grid. Conventional protection schemes are not suitable for grid-connected and islanded modes of operation of microgrid. This chapter proposes an adaptive protection centre (APC) that is capable of real-time monitoring of the microgrid, fault identification and graph algorithms-aided shortest path identification for fault clearance. The Internet of Things (IOT)-based APC is capable of displaying system status and load characteristics in a remote system. The proposed APC is validated and tested for functionality on the hardware prototype of eight-bus microgrid network.
