“…The distribution lines are of 1 km (considering the line parameters) on both sides of the two-terminal network. The DC microgrid have been still in the phase of developing various standards and yet, some of the earlier works 13,17 related to DC microgrids utilized 380 V for different applications in DC distribution system. So, the voltage level −380 V, has been utilized for the work.…”

Faster fault detection and location has become one of the prime assignments in microgrids for better control strategies. Quick identification of fault may result in location estimation tougher due to insufficient measurement data. In this article, a better scheme for fault detection and a novel method for the location of fault with good accuracy are portrayed. The speed and cost‐effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been assured due to less sampling frequency. The proposed method is developed for a standalone low voltage DC (LVDC) system with photovoltaics and battery energy storage system. A large number of fault scenarios have been simulated and analyzed by varying faults (pole‐pole, pole‐ground), fault resistance, and locations. The proposed scheme deals with local measurements that heartens the easy implementation of the proposed method. The case studies have been simulated in MATLAB/ SIMULINK environment. The efficacy of the proposed protection scheme is further validated in a real‐time environment.

DC smart grids enabled by the integration of advanced power electronic converters (PEC) can ease the integration and control of distributed renewable energy resources, electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, these highly flexible power systems introduce many challenges when considering the design of reliable, plug-and-play protection that does not rely on dedicated communications infrastructure for device coordination. One particularly difficult challenge is the management of DC-side filter capacitor discharge during shortcircuit faults where the large peak fault-current produced can permanently damage exposed semiconductor components within the converter. One solution is to ensure that the trip-time of DC protection devices is sufficiently rapid (sub-millisecond) to guarantee that fault-current is blocked prior to reaching destructive magnitudes. However, such high-speed protection devices do not offer much margin for effective selectivity with downstream devices due to the narrow time window of operation. Accordingly, this paper proposes a non-unit protection scheme for future large-scale DC smart grid applications that increases this time-window of operation to enable improved selectivity whilst retaining a lower level of energy dissipated in the fault. Reliable protection coordination is demonstrated on a DC radial network and is realized using conventional millisecond trip-time devices, and a single solid-state microsecond trip-time device.

This paper proposes a SUGPDS model based on Detection and Isolation algorithm and smart sensors, namely micro phasor measurement unit, smart sensing and switching device, phasor data concentrator, and ZigBee technology, etc. for the identification, classification, and isolation of the various fault occurs in the underground power cable in the distribution system. The proposed SUGPDS is a quick and smart tool in supervising, managing, and controlling various faults and issues and maintaining the reliability, stability, and uninterrupted flow of electricity. First, the SUGPDS model is analyzed using a distributed parameter approach. Then, the proper arrangement of the system required for the implantation of SUGPDS is demonstrated using figures. The Phasor data concentrator plays an essential role in developing the detection and classification report for identification and classification. Finally, smart sensing and switching device installed at a different location isolated the faulty phase from a healthy network. This approach helps to decrease power consumption. Hence, SUGPDS has super abilities compared to the underground power distribution system. The effectiveness of the proposed method and model is demonstrated via figures and tables.
