Type: article
Abstract: Micro-grids are becoming increasingly attractive to consumers and in the near future, a great \nnumber of them will be installed in consumer’s sites. One of the major difficulties associated \nwith the implementation of micro-grids is to explore a suitable protection strategy which is able \nto protect them in both modes of operation, that is, the grid connected mode and the \nautonomous mode. To remedy the difficulty, various strategies have been recently proposed in \nthe literatures. The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the existing \nprotection strategies deployed for addressing micro-grid protection issues in both grid-connected \nand islanded mode of operation. In addition to description of available protection strategies to \ndate and classifying them into certain groups, a comparative analysis is accomplished in which \nthe benefits and drawbacks of each strategy are evaluated. Finally, after the evaluation of \nvarious protection strategies, some conclusions and recommendations are put forward for the \nmicro-grid protection in the future.
