The microgrid protection issues as is being discussed in this section can be listed out as follows: 3.1. During grid-connected mode. During the grid-connected mode of microgrid
Microgrid is an important component of smart-grid. It is a smaller replica of the larger grid having all the components of the utility grid. While smart grids are large scale
Extensive research has been conducted on protecting alternating current (AC) power systems, resulting in many sophisticated protection methods and schemes. On the other hand, the natural characteristics of direct

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the available microgrid protection schemes which are based on traditional protection principles and emerging techniques such as machine learning, data-mining, wavelet transform, etc. A categorical assessment of the reviewed protection schemes is also presented.
Abstract: Microgrid deployment requires a microgrid control system and a microgrid protection system. The design of both systems needs to consider the nature of the microgrid assets, which may include a significant amount of distributed energy resources, and the modes of operation, either grid-connected or islanded modes.
“Off-grid” or “independent” – a microgrid that is not connected to the utility grid and serves a remote location or an island; “Campus” or “Customer” – a microgrid connected to the local grid, supply power to one or more premises, and maintain some level of service in isolation from the grid; and
Protection of microgrids operating in parallel with the grid There should be adequate protection to ensure the safe operation of the components within a microgrid and external circuit to which the microgrid is connected. As discussed in Section 3, fuses, MCBs, MCCBs, and RCCBs are used for small microgrids.
Without the inertia associated with electrical machines, a power system frequency can change instantaneously, thus tripping off power sources and loads and causing a blackout. Microgrid control systems (MGCSs) are used to address these fundamental problems. The primary role of an MGCS is to improve grid resiliency.
This function is the primary fault protection in the microgrid. Undervoltage (27), voltage unbalance (60), and volts-hertz (24) elements of a multifunction relay are used to provide backup protection for faults and inverter control system failures.
