Microgrid grounding classification
In order to verify the feasibility and overall accuracy of the DC microgrid fault detection and classification method, a simulation model of the wind-solar energy storage DC microgrid is established as shown in Fig. 6. Fault occurs randomly at line of L1-L8. Where, it is composed of a 1.5 MW double-fed wind turbine, a. . Figure 7 shows the TZMC and IMF1 waveforms of the four operating conditions based on the wind-solar energy storage DC microgrid line. . In order to verify that the fault classification results are not affected by fault resistance, fault distance, and fault start time. Based on the random fault resistance, fault distance and fault initiation time, the current signals of 600. . After detecting the abnormal conditions, continue to detect the ground faults signal. LS and the ground faults are distinguished by use Rratio. Table 4. [pdf]
FAQS about Microgrid grounding classification
How are microgrids categorized?
Microgrids can be categorized via different aspects ranging from the structure such as DC, AC, or hybrid to control scheme such as centralized, decentralized or distributed. This chapter reviews briefly the microgrid concept, its working definitions and classifications.
What are the characteristics of a dc microgrid?
Table 1. DC microgrid grounding configurations, and their characteristic features. Neutral point of AC side transformer solidly grounded, DC bus ungrounded. Ground current monitoring. Fault detection is relatively easy. Neutral point of AC side transformer ungrounded, DC bus solidly grounded. Ground current monitoring.
Do AC and DC microgrids need galvanic isolation?
According to the protection zones and requirements of NPR 9090, the ac and dc parts of dc microgrids must be isolated. The main motivation to provide galvanic isolation between the ac grid and the dc microgrid is related to the grounding system.
What is the difference between AC-microgrid and dc- microgrid?
The topology, configuration, protection challenges, and issues with DC- microgrid are very much different compared to those of AC-microgrid. Moreover, the grounding requirement and its configuration are also playing an important role in DC-microgrid compared to AC-microgrid.
Why is a dc microgrid a multi-terminal protection system?
The topology of the DC microgrid is thus multi-terminal. And hence it becomes tricky to design a protection system flexible enough to deal with multiple numbers of terminals under a multi-directional power flow condition.
Can a DC BUS be grounded if a grid is solidly grounded?
In a network with solidly grounded AC grid, solid grounding of the non-isolated DC bus creates a permanent fault. Hence, AC grid network with solidly grounded neutral, preclude the possibility of solid grounding of the DC bus, unless the network is electrically isolated using an isolation transformer, as in Fig. 8 (a).
