Abstract: Lowvoltage DC microgrids represent a highly adaptable approach to bringing renewable power generation closer to consumers, however their large, bidirectional fault currents and quick ...

Power systems today operate in an environment where reliability and safety must be maintained despite rising loads, expanding interconnections, and increasing dependence on distributed energy ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel protection scheme for networked microgrids using Voltage-Accelerated Directional Overcurrent Relays (VADOCRs). The proposed scheme addresses the challenges of ...

In this EC&M Tech Talk Randy Barnett discusses in five different sections the concepts and rules of overcurrent protection. Overcurrent protective devices include the fuses and circuit breakers ...

The CBCF/SiBCN composite is characterized by its lightweight and porous structure, featuring a visible heat-leading layer in its cross-section. Microscopic analysis reveals that the ceramic matrix ...
