As source of traditional energy is vanishes day by day,importance of microgrid increasing very effectively. In traditional generation and transmission of electrical power we have to rely on frequency and generation of power but in case of microgrid we have to depend on whether condition. Managing these systems to change of atmospheric condition becomes challenging . All study going on all over world related to microgrid protection of microgrid is one of them. Micro grids can either operate connected to the grid,or in the case of a grid fault,in an islanded mod e. Effect of high impedance fault is studied in this paper,by taking help of Matlab - Simulink�s SimPower Systems . We model a microgrid containing mix of renewable DG and one dispatch able source,we then simulate the HIF fault at one of the bus in both gri d - connect and island modes and analyze fault currents and voltage levels in order to determine how the protection scheme of the distribution network would need to be changed to facilitate microgrid functionality. We show that standard protection methods ar e insufficient and propose the use of digital relays which is different from traditional system.
Abstract-- Microgrids are miniature versions of traditional grids.
They comprise of distributed energy resources like wind turbine, Photovoltaic, Storage devices like batteries and renewable resources of power systems. They can operate in two modes, viz. Connected mode, where they are connected to the Main grid; and island mode, where they are isolated from Main grid. While microgrids offer advantages like improved reliability, stability,and efficiency; their implementation poses different technical challenges specifically for protection of microgrid. It is essential to protect a micro grid in both the grid-connected and the island mode of operation against all different types of faults. This paper gives literature review for different challenges and protection of techniques for microgrid protection.
These slides presents the different challenges and issues related to DG integration to Micro-grid distribution systems. The possible solutions are also presented. Later of the class I will try to upload the mathematical presentations and simulation results related to each protection scheme. However, your suggestions are always welcome.

Voltage Support and Reactive Power Control in Micro-grid using DGIJMER
Distribution Generators(DGs) are the renewable energy resource which can be connected to
the grid. When it is connected to the grid it should be operated with controlled voltage and reactive
power control. And in autonomous mode(i.e disconnected mode) it should operate in backup generation
mode. These DGs are connected towards the micro grid operation. The proposed control system
facilitates flexible and robust DG operational characteristics such as active/reactive power (PQ) or
active power/voltage (PV) bus operation in the grid- connected mode, regulated power control in
autonomous micro-grid mode, smooth transition between autonomous mode and PV or PQ grid
connected modes and vice versa, reduced voltage distortion under heavily nonlinear loading conditions,
and robust control performance under islanding detection delays. Evaluation results are presented to
demonstrate the flexibility and effectiveness of the proposed controller
Frequency Scanning Techniques for Subsynchronous Resonance Screening AnalysisHardik Parikh, E.I.T.
Abstract—Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) is a well known
phenomenon that is observed in the conventional energy
generation and wind farm sites. SSR is more prone to generation sites that are directly connected to the series compensated transmission lines. Series compensation is required to improve the voltage profile and reduce transmission losses of the transmission lines. The work presented here aims to highlight the potential causes, the system configurations and the methods that are used to identify SSR. The main focus of the poster is to outline frequency scan techniques that are based on the small
signal perturbation method. The analysis generally employs
Electro Magnetic Transient Program (EMTP). This technique
provides the spectrum of frequency response to resistance and reactance. Finally, based on that we deduce the damping
provided by the system, and thereby the SSR risk to the project.
The energy sector is moving into the era of distributed generation (DG) and microgrids
(MGs). The stability and operation aspects of converter-dominated DG MGs, however, are faced by
many challenges. To overcome these difficulties, this paper presents a new large-signal-based control
topology for DG power converters that is suitable for both grid connected and islanding modes of
operation without any need to reconfigure the control system and without islanding detection. To
improve MG stability and to guarantee stability and high performance of the MG system during sudden
harsh transients such as islanding, grid reconnection, and large load power changes, a nonlinear MG
stabilizer is proposed. We propose a novel control topology for microgrids which can work in both grid
connected and islanding modes without reconfiguration so it does not require islanding detection

A transient current based micro grid connected power system protection scheme...IJECEIAES
Micro-grids comprise Distributed Energy Resources (DER’s) with low voltage distribution networks having controllable loads those can operate with different voltage levels are connected to the micro-grid and operated in grid mode or islanding mode in a coordinated way of control. DER’s provides clear environment-economical benefits for society and consumer utilities. But their development poses great technical challenges mainly protection of main and micro grid. Protection scheme must have to respond to both the main grid and micro-grid faults. If the fault is occurs on main grid, the response must isolate the DER’s from the main grid rapidly to protect the system loads. If the fault ocuurs within the micro-grid, the protection scheme must coordinate and isolates the least priority possible part of the grid to eliminate the fault. In order to deal with the bidirectional energy flow due to large numbers of micro sources new protection schemes are required. The system is simulated using MATLAB Wavelet Tool box and Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis is considered. Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis is used for detection, discrimination and location of faults on transmission network. This paper is discussed a transient current based micro-grid connected power system protection scheme using Wavelet Approach described on wavelet detailed-coefficients of Mother Biorthogonal 1.5 wavelet. The proposed algorithm is tested in micro-grid connected power systems environment and proved for the detection, discrimination and location of faults which is almost independent of fault impedance, fault inception angle (FIA) and fault distance of feeder line.

In photovoltaic system connected to the grid, the main goal is to control the power that the inverter injects into the grid
from the energy provided by the photovoltaic generator. The power quality injected into the grid and the performance of the
converter system depend on the quality of the inverter current control. In this paper, a control technique for a photovoltaic
system connected to the grid based on digital pulse-width modulation (DSPWM) which can synchronize a sinusoidal output
current with a grid voltage and control the power factor is proposed. This control is based on the single phase inverter controlled
by bipolar PWM Switching and lineal current control. The electrical scheme of the system is presented. The approach is widely
explained. Simulations results of output voltage and current validate the impact of this method to determinate the appropriate
control of the system. A digital design of the control based on generator PWM using VHDL is proposed and implemented on
Field-Programmable Gate Array “FPGA”.

A Micro grid MG is a local energy system consisting of a number of energy sources e.g., wind turbine or solar panels among others , energy storage units, and loads that operate connected to the main electrical grid or autonomously. MGs provide flexibility, reduce the main electricity grid dependence, and contribute to changing large centralized production paradigm to local and distributed generation. However, such energy systems require complex management, advanced control, and optimization. Moreover, the power electronics converters have to be used to correct energy conversion and be interconnected through a common control structure is necessary. A classical droop control system is often implemented in MG. It allows correct operation of parallel voltage sourced converters in grid connection, as well as islanded mode of operation. However, it requires complex power management algorithms, especially in islanded MGs, which balance the system and improves reliability. The novel reactive power sharing algorithm is developed, which takes into account the parameters of the converter as apparent power limit and maximum active power. The developed solution is verified in simulation and compared with other known reactive power control methods. G. Amulya | Dr. S. V. D.

As the demand for more reliable and secure power system with greater power quality increases, the concept of distributed generation DG have become more popular. This popularity of DG concept has developed simultaneously with the decrease in manufacturing costs associated with clean and alternative technologies like fuel cells, biomass, micro turbine and solar cell systems. Intentional islanding is the purposeful sectionalisation of the utility system during widespread disturbances to create power “islandâ€. This island can be designed to maintain a continuous supply of power during disturbances of the main distribution system.

New solutions for optimization of the electrical distribution system availabi...Mohamed Ghaieth Abidi
This paper deals with the availability in microgrids that are composed of a set of sources (Photovoltaic generators, wind turbines, diesel generators and batteries) and a set of loads (critical and uncritical loads). The energy produced by various sources will be grouped in an alternative bus (AC bus), and it will be distributed on loads through an electrical distribution system. The occurrence of a fault in the system can cause a total or partial unavailability of energy required by the loads. The objective of this paper is to characterize the fault caused by the limited reliability of the components of the electrical distribution system and to propose an new design methodology to optimize the availability of this system (as well as the availability of power supply) by taking into account all the economic constraints. The proposed methodology is based on the redundancy of electrical distribution paths. An application of this optimization to a petroleum platform shows clearly a high degree of supply availability distribution in microgrid.

This paper describes the Grid connected solar photovoltaique system using DC-DC boost converter and the DC/AC inverter (VSC) to supplies electric power to the utility grid. The model contains a representation of the main components of the system that are two solar arrays of 100 kW, boost converter and the grid side inverter. The paper starts with a system description, in this part we have given a definition and a short overview of every component used in this system and they are taken separately. The PV cell model is easy, accurate, and takes external temperature and solar radiation into consideration. It also proposes a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The algorithm incorporated in a DC/DC converter is used to track the maximum power of PV cell. Finally, the DC/AC inverter (VSC) of three- level is used to regulate the ouput voltage of DC/DC converter and connects the PV cell to the grid. Simulation results show how a solar radiation’s change can affect the power output of any PV system, also they show the control performance and dynamic behavior of the grid connected photovoltaic system.
Analysis and Implementation of Power Quality Enhancement Techniques in Hybrid...ijtsrd
With the growth in global warming, renewable energy based distributed generators DGs play a prominent role in power generation. Wind, solar energy, biomass, mini hydro, and the usage of fuel cells and microturbines will provide substantial impetus in the near future. Environmental friendliness, expandability, and flexibility have made distributed generation, powered by a variety of renewable and unconventional energy sources, an appealing alternative for building contemporary electrical systems. A microgrid is made up of a group of loads and dispersed generators that work together to form a single controlled system. Microgrids, as an integrated energy delivery system, may function in tandem with or independently of the main power grid. The microgrid idea reduces the number of reverse conversions in a single AC or DC grid while also making it easier to link variable renewable AC and DC sources and loads to power systems. The connectivity of DGs to the utility grid through power electronic converters has raised concerns regarding equipment safety and protection. The microgrid may be configured to fulfil the customers specific needs, such as greater local dependability, reduced feeder losses, local voltage support, greater efficiency via waste heat usage, voltage sag correction, or uninterruptible power supply. The performance of a hybrid AC DC microgrid system in grid tethered mode is examined in this paper. For the creation of a microgrid, a solar system, a wind turbine generator, and a battery are utilized. Control methods are also included to allow the converters to appropriately coordinate the AC sub grid with the DC sub grid. The MATLAB SIMULINK environment was used to achieve the findings.

Overview: Simulation Analysis of low voltage DC micro grid - An investigation...IJSRD
The micro grid concept has the potential to solve major problems arising from large penetration of distributed generation in distribution systems. The micro grid was designed to operate connected to the main network. The micro grid operated appropriately for different steady state operating conditions. A proper control strategy should be implemented for a successful operation of a micro grid. This paper presents a performance study of a dc micro-grid when it is used a voltage droop technique to regulated the grid voltage and to control the load sharing between different sources like Photovoltaic cell , Fuel Cell, Batteries, etc. Some aspects about centralized (master-slave) and decentralized (voltage droop) control strategies are presented. In this paper, the work done in the field of Micro Grid has been reviewed.

A Comprehensive Review of Protection Schemes for Distributed GenerationUmair Shahzad
Due to the increasing demand of energy and the need for nonconventional energy sources, distributed generation (DG) has come into play. The trend of unidirectional power flow has been gradually shifting. With new technology comes new challenges, the introduction of DG into the conventional power system brings various challenges; one of the major challenges is system protection under DG sources. These sources pose a significant challenge due to bidirectional flows from DGs as well as lower fault current contribution from inverter interfaced DGs. This paper reviews existing protection schemes that have been suggested for active distribution networks. Most of these protection strategies apply only to smaller distribution systems implying that they may need to be extended to larger systems with a much higher penetration of distributed generation. In the end, a potential protection scheme has also been recommended as a future work.

The IC engine has seen numerous revolutionary and e volutionary modifications in technology and design over the past few decades. The sole motto behind the modifications wa s to increase the overall efficiency of the IC Engi ne including volumetric and thermal efficiency. Recently few benchmarking techn ologies like the CRDI,MPFI,HCCI,etc. in the Otto cycle and Diesel cycle engines have created an enormous revolution in the automobile industry. In spite of these technologica l and design advances,the efficiencies are not being more than a particular l imit. However,the concept of split cycle engines has dra stically increased the overall performance in all respect. The split cycle concept basically separates the fou r strokes of the conventional cycle. The Scuderi engine one of the best-in-class engine desi gns based on the split cycle concept. The Scuderi engine works on the split cycle and gives higher efficiency than the previous split cycle engines resulting overall high perform ance. It also eliminates the problems faced by previous engines based on the spl it cycle in terms of breathing (volumetric efficien cy) and thermal efficiency. This paper throws light on the greater volumetric,thermal and overall efficiency key points related t o the Scuderi Engines.

STUDY OF SOLAR THERMAL CAVITY RECEIVER FOR PARABOLIC CONCENTRATING COLLECTOR ijiert bestjournal
Energy is one of the building blocks of the country . The growth of the country has been fueled by chea p,abundant energy resources. Solar energy is a form of renewable ener gy which is available abundantly and collected unre servedly. The parabolic concentrator reflects the direct incident solar rad iation onto a receiver mounted above the dish at it s focal point. The conversion of concentrated solar radiation to heat takes place in receiver. The heat transfer characteristics of the receiver changes during the rotation of the receiver which affects thermal performance. The working temperature may also influence the ther mal performance and overall efficiency of the system. Thermal as well as optica l losses affect the performance of a solar paraboli c dish-cavity receiver system. The thermal losses of a solar cavity receiver include c onvective and radiative losses to the air in the ca vity and conductive heat loss through the insulation used behind the helical tube surface. Convective and radiative heat losses form the major constituents of the thermal losses. The convection heat loss from cavit y receiver in parabolic dish solar thermal power sy stem can significantly reduce the efficiency and consequently the cost effectiveness of the system. It is important to assess this heat loss and subsequently improve the thermal performance of the receiver.

HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT BY USING NANOFLUID JET IMPINGEMENTijiert bestjournal
An experimental investigation was carried out for s tudying the heat transfer performance of the water-Al2O3 (28nm average particle size) nanofluid inside a liquid evacuated impinging jet system dest ined to the cooling of circular target surface. Results have shown that th e surface heat transfer coefficient increases consi derably when the mass flow rate is increased,but is relatively insensitive to the nozzle-to heated-surface distance. It was foun d that the use of a nanofluid can provide a heat transfer enhancement when compared t o water. Thus most practical applications of jet im pingement occur in industries where the heat transfer requirements hav e exceeded capacity of ordinary heating and cooling techniques. This work presents and discusses the results of an experiment al investigation of heat transfer between the horiz ontal smooth plate of impinged jets.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract
As source of traditional energy is vanishes day by day, importance of microgrid increasing very
effectively. In traditional generation and transmission of electrical power we have to rely on frequency and
generation of power but in case of microgrid we have to depend on whether condition. Managing these
systems to change of atmospheric condition becomes challenging. All study going on all over world related
to microgrid protection of microgrid is one of them. Micro grids can either operate connected to the grid, or
in the case of a grid fault, in an islanded mode. Effect of high impedance fault is studied in this paper, by
taking help of Matlab-Simulink’s SimPower Systems. We model a microgrid containing mix of renewable
DG and one dispatch able source, we then simulate the HIF fault at one of the bus in both grid-connect and
island modes and analyze fault currents and voltage levels in order to determine how the protection scheme
of the distribution network would need to be changed to facilitate microgrid functionality. We show that
standard protection methods are insufficient and propose the use of digital relays which is different from
traditional system.
Keywords: Fault analysis, Microgrid, Protection
INTRODUCTION
From the United state report Investigator says “Microgrid has been proposed as way of integrating large
number of distributed renewable energy sources with distribution system, one problem with microgrid
implementation is designing proper protection scheme”. Relay protection of microgrid is different than
conventional power distribution grid in following ways (1) Current flow in microgrid in both direction while
in conventional grid support single end power supply.(2)Use of large power electronic converters cause
another problem.(3)Relay protection should be provided for islanding and normal mode, with high speed,
selectivity and reliability Which lead to great challenge for protection of Microgrid.
Domestic and foreign researchers have made extensive studies on the relay protection of MG. N-line
operation. Similarly, N. Schaefer et al. [4, 9] describe a scheme and the algorithm of an adaptive protection
relay, which comprises a real-time block and a non-real time block, both implemented in software and
hardware. Y. Han et al. [13] propose that, comparing the system’s impedance and the microgrid’s
impedance, over current instantaneous protections can be automatically adjusted to the new situation. Then,
K. Dang et al. [14] propose to use a way of comparison between the zero-sequence current and a threshold.
T. S. Ustun, et al [2] present an adaptive protection system based on an extensive communication system
that monitors the microgrid by means of a Central Protection Unit (CPU).
The main objective of this thesis is the modeling of a hybrid microgrid with its protection which will also
clear high impedance faults. A development of novel method for modeling high impedance faults is

important to demonstrate to show how the protection scheme can protect against them. This is important in
microgrid protection not only because as the percentage of high impedance faults on the distribution system
is not insignificant [7], but also because microgrids, in the islanded mode, typically have lower fault
currents. Hence modeling and complete protection of microgrid are the main part of this paper. The overall
system is simulated using MATLAB environment. In simulation work the renewable sources are modeled
using different equations.
SYSTEM TOPOLOGY AND DG MODELS

SIMULATION OF HIGH IMPEDANCE FAULT
A. INTRODUCTION
When fault current is below pick up of conventional over current, If<100 Amps on grounded system, which
occurs because of Incipient insulator failures, Fallen conductors on concrete, tree, soil, gravel, sand, asphalt,
etc. this condition raises the electric potential of tangible objects around us and may result in death by
electrocution, severe electrical burns, or fires ignited by arcing and heating of materials. The occurrence of
such conditions also constitutes a loss of energy to the power companies as not all of the produced electrical
power is delivered to their appointed loads. Power is lost on the way of delivery and dissipated through
foreign objects which should not be in contact with the line. Conventional relaying schemes monitor short-
circuit conditions where a significant amount of the energy supplied by the power company flows directly
into the ground and never reaches its load. In this paper a new technique is proposed to model, locate, and
detect high-impedance faults. Patterns and characteristics in the line’s current provide for recognition and
are investigated to detect such faults. [21]
B. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Conventional detection schemes monitor only low-impedance faults (LIFs that result in instantaneous and
large increments of current due to a low-impedance path to ground ).A HIF seems invisible to such
detection methods because it presents only a small increment in line current and appears to be a normal load
increment. Following figure 6.1 depicts this scenario.

C. PURPOSE OF STUDY
HIF can occur in two cases. In one case, a conductor breaks and fall to ground and fallen phase current
decreases and protection relays cannot detect fault because current is not more than setting current of relays.
In other state conductor isn’t break but it touches a high impedance thing such as tree limbs. In this state
feeder current increase but it is not enough to detect by conventional protection relay. Therefore this type of
fault is very difficult to detect also it is very dangerous for human life and necessary to detect.
D. STATERGY OF HIF FAULT DETECTION
HIFs detection is very difficult by conventional techniques, various methods are proposed before [23]-[25]
but no effective solution. This paper proposed technique based on measurement of current sequence
component. One of the advantage is that it can easily incorporated with digital Relays .Based on
superposition theorem, cureent can be consist of two component (i) a normal-running component, and (2) a
fault-imposed component. The fault-imposed component can be calculated using superimposed networks
[26],[27]. Assuming that in(t) is the current of the normal system (normal-running current), if (t) is the
current of the faulted system (fault current), and ifi(t) is the current of the superimposed network (fault-
imposed current), one can write:

To evaluate the method of HIF detection, a model based on Emanuel model for HIF is utilized, which is
depicted in Figure 4. HIF Current changes between 0 and 80 Amp as shown in above table 2 and it is
obtained with change of Emanuel parameters. A list of Emanuel parameter that is result from practical test
[18] is brought in Table 3.

SIMULATION OF HIGH IMPEDANCE FAULT
Emanuel model used to create Matlab Model which includes two DC sources, Vp and Vn. These represent the
arcing voltage of air in soil and/or between trees and the distribution line; two resistances, Rp and Rn,
between diodes which represent the resistance of trees and/or the earth resistance. When the line voltage is
greater than the positive DC voltage Vp, the fault current starts flowing towards the ground. The fault current
reverses backward from the ground when the line voltage is less than the negative DC voltage Vn.
Using above parameters of resistance from table 3 a variable resistance is modeled in matlab with controlled
voltage source. Resistance value is taken of 15% of constant resistance of 250ohm.Hence variable resistance
is obtained for which min and max values are from a table 3 To study a simulation of HIF, a sample
distribution system is considered with 12.47kVthree phase source and transmission line with two circuit
breakers on both sides. Figure 4 gives High impedance fault created on sample distribution system in
matlab.
Model of HIF thus discovered is used to simulate a fault on 18 bus distribution system. This fault is
simulated on various buses of Microgrid system.

MODELING OF NUMERICAL RELAY FOR COMPLETE PROTECTION OF MICROGRID
A.INTRODUCTION
There are different philosophies of protecting islanded microgrids. One is to simply trip the entire
microgrid offline once the fault is detected during islanding. For additional reliability, the faulted line will
need to be removed from service and the remaining connected loads and sources will operate as two smaller
islands. This will only work if the generation and load in each smaller system match. If higher reliability is
required, the feeders can be connected as a loop, so the loss of a feeder or a lateral will not result in service
disruption to customers. The higher reliability, however, comes at a higher cost.
B. PROPOSED PROTECTION SCHEME FOR MICROGRID
This proposed protection scheme uses a current differential relay with specified algorithm which considers
internal, external and high impedance faults. By using these relays on the end of each line segment, a very
robust protection scheme can be developed. During this simulation study, HIF current patterns are evaluated
by decomposing the line current into its spectral content and studying its harmonic content. It is observed

that HIF currents content different patterns than load switching and other system variation condition.
Specifically, it is noticed that phase shift for the 3rd
harmonics current with respect to the fundamental has
occurred. This phase shift of 3rd
harmonics current is used to distinguish the presence of high impedance
fault than load switching condition. This differentiating criterion is used to find out the algorithm for
numerical relay for HIF protection.

C. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DIGITAL DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION USING
MATLAB
Different protection functions are required to design an appropriate protection scheme for microgrids. “the
amplitude comparator module", “the harmonic comparator module" inside each comparator block. The
amplitude comparator module compares the magnitude of the fault currents at two end of protective device
and the output trip signal of the amplitude comparator module is used by the islanded-mode protection
module. Harmonic calculation module is generally comes in picture when high impedance faults exists in
system. Finally, the tripping module decides whether or not a trip signal should be issued to external
controlled circuit breaker.

CONCLUSION
The economical and environmental merits of microgrids have motivated extensive researches and
development efforts toward resolving the technical challenges of this new and fast-growing technology. The
main objective of this study is to address some concerns related to the protection of microgrids. The issues
studied in the thesis are modeling of distribution generation and protection of the microgrid against different
fault scenarios in both modes of operation.
Microgrids can be protected using digital current differential relay deployed at each line end in system.
Relay structure thus proposed is able to protect all types of fault in medium voltage microgrid. In this way
complete protection of microgrid system can be achieved
