Abstract

A continuous increase in greenhouse emissions has led to more frequent use of renewable energy resources. The increased emergence of DC loads in day-to-day lives has further led to conversion to DC distribution lines. In prospect of getting more environmentally friendly, economical, and reliable power delivery a DC micro grid was developed and has become more common in recent years. The disaster management cell located at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering has designed a DC micro grid which consists of sources provided from the grid, a battery bank, and an array of solar cells supplying to a set of nine loads, which are segregated into three sets of three loads each. This paper presents a protection scheme for the buses present in a micro grid that is based on the differential current principle. It is done with the help of a centralized protection controller that enables fault identification and fault isolation. This protection scheme is further extended to a DC ring-bus micro grid, where the centralized protection controller enables fault identification, fault location, and fault isolation. MATLAB/Simulink is used to obtain the simulation and verify the results.

Abstract

Micro-grids (MGs) play a prominent role in the exchange of bulk power between loads and the central grid. MG can run in an islanding mode or grid-connected mode. When the central grid fails to provide power in such situations, MGs serves as power sources for critical facilities such as coordination facilities in railway stations and airports, transportation, university and research facilities. MGs use energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass to produce electricity along with rechargeable batteries, aircraft applications is continuously increasing. This leads to the development of DC MGs. A model of DC MG is located at the disaster management lab in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The MG consists of step-downed and rectified DC power supply from conventional 230 V AC source, a PV array, wind, and a battery bank a source supplying power to a set of nine DC loads. Although DC MGs have many advantages compared to AC MGs, one of the challenges faced is the study of faults and protection of the DC MG. In this paper, a prototype for the existing system in the disaster management lab is designed in hardware and tested.

Abstract

Low-voltage direct current (LVDC) microgrids are increasingly utilized due to their efficiency and compatibility with distributed energy resources (DERs) and direct current (DC) loads, eliminating the need for multiple energy conversions. However, the protection of LVDC systems presents significant challenges, including high fault currents and the vulnerability of electronic devices. Traditional electromechanical circuit breakers are inadequate due to their slow response times. This work presents a protection approach for the DC bus in LVDC microgrids that combines a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with a solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB). The FLC is designed to detect and respond to faults rapidly by processing input variables such as current magnitude and rate of change of current. The FLC controls the SSCB, which interrupts fault currents quickly and reliably. The proposed system demonstrates optimized fault-clearing times within milliseconds, significantly enhancing the protection and reliability of LVDC microgrids. This novel solution protects critical electronic components while also ensuring the microgrid's operational integrity. The FLC approach is utilized for optimizing fault-clearing duration within milliseconds.
