Abstract

The penetration increase in distributed generators (DGs) into smart grids (SGs) will lead to new challenges, especially in protection systems. In the case of ring grids, the behavior of the short-circuit current is affected by DGs, and the medium voltage (MV) transformer connections significantly influence the changes; therefore, the protection strategies must be adapted for these scenarios. This study provides a comprehensive protection system for the MV distribution system (DS), including reconfigurable smart ring grids. The proposed protection methods contain three protection algorithms. The first protection algorithm relies on communication among all protective devices (PDs) in the grid, whereas the second protection method uses communication among PDs along the same line. Then, a third algorithm built on the local data of each PD is suggested as a backup to prevent communication issues and offer more reliable protection. MATLABTM SIMULINK simulations and experimental results on a scalable hardware grid were also employed to validate the protection algorithms.
