Real-Time Implementation of Dynamic State Estimation for Microgrid Load Bus Protection

원문 초록

Inverter-interfaced microgrids, owing to the lack of fault current, cannot be protected using traditional over-current protections, while admittance or differential relaying protection schemes are not practical to be implemented. Dynamic state estimation can track and predict power system transients and has been extensively investigated for setting-less protection. A novel real-time application of dynamic state estimation for protection is proposed in this paper, wherein parameter estimation and parallel processing is used to identify the state of the system. The implementation scheme has low process complexity and employs a data acquisition device and estimator that run on a general-purpose computer. This proposed implementation extends the state-of-the-art, under short-circuit conditions, to a real-time implementation with a lumped-load radial microgrid and a grid-forming inverter with current-limiting behavior.
