Power distribution protection - Open Access .click

2009 IEEE PES/IAS Conference on Sustainable Alternative Energy (SAE), 2009
The paper proposes a communication-based protection scheme for distribution networks with distributed generators. Emphasis is put on making the scheme flexible for various network configurations. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate the proper operation of the protection scheme.

Challenges of DC Data Center Power Distribution Protection

13th International Conference on Development in Power System Protection 2016 (DPSP), 2016
The power distribution grid of a DC data center is unique due to the highly capacitive characteristics of both the output of the DC power source (Uninterruptable Power Supply - UPS) and the input of the distributed load (multiple Power Supply Units - PSU). In case of a short-circuit to ground in such a system, oscillations are observed due to discharge

Power electronic-based protection for direct-current power distribution in micro-grids

2014 International Power Electronics Conference (IPEC-Hiroshima 2014 - ECCE ASIA), 2014
DC power distribution can be more effective than AC power distribution in the built environment. However, DC bus protection by using DC circuit breaker (CB) can be costly. This paper proposes a protection method which adopts power electronic-based methods to isolate the faulted segment instead of using CBs.
