| Abstract |
With the rising environmental problems
associated with the use of conventional energy sources from
fossil fuel and the decrease of the cost of renewable energy
technologies, micro-grid powered by micro-hydropower and
photovoltaic systems has become a very popular choice for
remote area electrification. However, micro-grid systems still
face several issues with stability due to the variations of energy
demand at different periods and the unpredictable behavior of
distributed energy sources. This paper presents a micro-grid
design powered by renewable energy sources and the
simulation of its transient stability when subjected to
three-phase faults at different locations. A Graphical User
Interface (GUI) that displays the performance and stability of
the micro-grid was also created. The results of this study can
be utilized for future decision making in the electrical planning
of the micro-grid. The critical clearing time data can be used
in the selection of proper protective equipment and relay time
settings. |
