Microgrid Relay Protection Laboratory

This project establishes practical laboratory coursework facilitating students to operate, coordinate, and integrate microprocessor protective relays in a low-voltage three-phase microgrid system. For the complete history of this paper, refer to the next page. Presented at the 72nd Annual Georgia Tech Protective Relaying Conference Atlanta. The Relay block comprises two protection units, phase protection and earth protection. The phase protection unit protects the microgrid from high phase currents. The microgrid projects investigated in this study used different types of distributed energy resources (DERs) and integrated ydropower/diesel generators, gas/steam/wind turbines, and photovoltaic.
