This dissertation is to design the operation strategy and protective scheme of micro-grid systems with dispersed generation (DG). The industrial power system with cogeneration units and the distribution feeder with wind power generators were selected as the study micro-grids for computer simulation. The mathematical models of cogeneration units and wind generators were included in the computer simulation by considering the operation control modes of DGs. The micro-grid systems and the nearby utility networks were constructed to solve the power flows of the micro-grids with various operation scenarios of power generation and load demand. For the severe external fault contingencies, the micro-grids have to be isolated from the utility power system in time to prevent the tripping of critical loads and DGs. By considering the fault ride through capability of cogenerators and voltage tolerance curves of critical loads, the critical tripping time (CTT) of tie circuit breaker of the micro-grids was determined according to the transient stability analysis. To maintain the stable operation of the micro-grids after tie line tripping, the load shedding scheme was designed by applying the under frequency and under voltage relays to disconnect the proper amount of non-critical loads according to the governor responses of cogeneration units.
For the micro-grid of distribution feeder with wind power generator, the STATCOM was used to provide adaptive reactive power compensation for the mitigation of voltage fluctuation due to the variation of wind speed and feeder loading. The STATCOM can also be applied for the support of terminal voltage of wind generator (WG) to enhance the transient response of the micro-grid. The CTT of tie circuit breaker was determined by considering the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability and the critical fault cleaning time of WG. To achieve more effective islanding operation of the micro-grids, the artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to determine the proper timing for tie line tripping and the proper amount of load shedding by using the wind speed, feeder loading and the voltage of micro-grid system as the input of ANN. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed tie line tripping and load shedding scheme, different fault contingencies of the external utility network have been simulated by using the computer program for the transient stability analysis. It is found that the critical and voltage sensitive loads of the micro-grid can be maintained when the tie circuit breaker is activated to isolate the external fault in time and followed by the execution of load shedding scheme.
