Microgrid Fault Analysis Based on Multiple Distributed Generations

Abstract:

A microgrid is composed of multiple distributed generations (DGs).The amplifier and directions of micro-grid power are quite stochastic with the existence of the DGs. It results in great challenges on the adaptability and coordinate issue of protection. The mathematical and simulation models of photovoltaic, AWTG (asynchronous wind turbine generations), DEG (diesel engine generation) and energy storage are established and a typical microgrid containing multiple DGs is also introduced in this paper. It is demonstrated that the transient behavior of microgrid during fault depends mainly on the penetration level of different type of DGs. The simulation results verified that the transient characteristics of fault can provide theoretical basis for the protection of microgrid.
