What are the fault diagnosis of microgrids
However, a critical challenge in the protection of microgrids is the fault detection and diagnosis process, particularly in the presence of high uncertainties and varying topologies of microgrids. The proposed solution uses a set of model-based and rules-based tec niques integrated within a hierarchical framework to improve the detection and diagnostic capabilities. Faults in microgrids can cause instabilities, inefficient power generation, and other losses.
