  • Abstract
    The implementation of high-reliability microgrids requires proper protection schemes that effectively function in both grid-connected and island modes. This paper presents a communication-assisted four-level hierarchical protection strategy for high-reliability microgrids, and tests the proposed protection strategy based on a loop structured microgrid. The simulation results demonstrate the proposed strategy to be an effective and efficient option for microgrid protection.
