Abstract

Microgrids (MGs) offers grid-connected (GC) and islanded (ID) operational modes. However, these dynamic modes of operation pose different microgrid protection challenges. This paper presents a new protection method for MGs based on a discrete one-dimensional recursive Median filter (1-DRMF). In the first step, the 1-DRMF is applied on a measured current signal on every single phase individually for targeted feature extraction. Then, the median filter deviation (MFD) and the selected harmonic distortion (SHD) are computed from the current signals of all phases independently. In the second step, the upsurges in the MFD and the SHD of all phases are cross-checked with the pre-established threshold value of 0.3 to identify and categorize fault incidents. Finally, the directional properties of three-phase (3-p) reactive energy are employed in order to pinpoint the faulty line section (LS). Many simulations were executed on MATLAB/Simulink to validate the sustainable performance of the established method. Results prove that the scheme can detect, classify, and locate the solid and high impedance faults (HIF) in the GC as well as the ID modes under radial and meshed scenarios.
