6 FAQs about [Relay protection in microgrid]

Are multifunction protective relays a good choice for Microgrid controls?

Multifunction protective relays are an economical choice for microgrid controls because the hardware is commonly required at the point of interface (POI) to the electric power system (EPS) and at each distributed energy resource (DER). The relays at the POI and DER provide mandatory protection and human safety.

Do microgrid protection schemes need communication and relay adaptability?

Protection challenges and successive modifications of protection schemes are elucidated. The need for communication and relay adaptability for dynamic fault current is divulged. This work also includes current practice and future proclivity of AC microgrid protection.

Why do microgrids need relays?

The relays at the POI and DER provide mandatory protection and human safety. The cost, complexity, and commissioning efforts of microgrids are reduced by consolidating more control functionality into the relays.

What happens if a PCC relay fails in a microgrid?

Upstream relay or PCC relay will clear the grid fault, to stop the fault current to propagate into the microgrid. Failing of it will initiate adjacent microgrid relay to operate. If upstream or PCC relay has a fixed setting, then fault current from the grid and fault current supplied by DGs creates mal-operation of OCRs.

What happens if a relay setting is fixed in a microgrid?

If upstream or PCC relay has a fixed setting, then fault current from the grid and fault current supplied by DGs creates mal-operation of OCRs. Thus, relay setting need to be adaptive. Microgrid may remain connected to the grid or islanding may take place.

How to handle dynamic and bidirectional fault current in microgrid protection?

However, in microgrid protection scenario, in order to handle dynamic and bidirectional fault current, generic OCR time-current characteristics require some modification in terms of directional feature and self-adjusting relay setting . Optimal relay setting is achieved by using optimization methods and adaptive techniques.
