A Dual-Processor Based Coordinator for Micro-Grid Control and Protection

Abstract:

With the development of micro-grid, the protection and control technologies for micro-grid have withdrawn broad attention. By analyzing the interactions between the micro-grid and the main grid, a dual-processor based coordinator is proposed in the paper. This coordinator achieves the functions of protection and control through two processors, utilizing the electrical information from the whole network, realizing the wide area data sharing and sound cooperation of the unit protection and regional control in the micro-grid. The proposed method enables smooth transition between grid-connected and islanded operation, which is adaptive to any operational modes. Implemented in a demonstrative project of the micro-grid in china, this novel method is verified to be efficient.
