Fault control of microgrid system: A case study of Karabuk University - Turkey

Abstract

Abstract In this paper Karabuk University microgrid system is introduced and fault control of microgrid is analyzed. The microgrid system of Karabuk University campus consists of diesel generator, solar PV panels, energy storage unit, critical and non-critical loads. Simulation of microgrid in both grid-connected and isolated operation modes are conducted on MATLAB/Simulink. The fault control has been implemented in the microgrid system to effectively manage of power in the system. The system is effectively disconnecting the microgrid from main grid within a microsecond after fault conditions. The distributed energy sources have been supplying the energy to load based load profile settings. From the simulation results, the developed control mechanisms provide stable operation in the microgrid system.
