Abstract
Microgrid is an aggregation of multiple distributed generators like renewable energy sources, conventional generators, and energy storage systems that provide electric power to consumers. It operates in two modes namely grid connected mode and islanded mode. The transition of microgrid from islanded mode to grid connected mode poses crucial grid synchronization issues. This is a key challenge to protection engineers. This paper proposes the implementation of 9 no's 2/2.5 MVA low voltage (LV)-Diesel Generator (DG) sets synchronization in a real-time microgrid network using bus coupler logic to restrict the fault current vide programmable logic controller (PLC) during utility power failure based on load requirement. © 2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
