Controlling of the micro grid test bed with an automated distribution system

This paper presents the introduction of a multi agent based distribution automation system to the increasingly developing microgrid based electrification concept. Fault location, Isolation and Restoration has been the main focus of this smart microgrid which is popular around the world as the next generation power grid. This microgrid test bed contains a few Dispersed generators (DGs), a storage devices and a distribution system based on Multi agent system along with the protection system, advanced smart metering system and reliable communication methodology. This laboratory scale microgrid has been developed as a fully automated operating system in both grid connected and island modes.
