Project Methodology

Project flowchart

The designed micro grid model will be simulate under two circumstances which is during in grid connected mode and islanded mode. As for islanded mode there are two conditions that will be consider which are for unplanned switching event and preplanned switching event.

The designed  micro grid model will be simulate by using the Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) software. 

PSCAD software 

PSCAD/EMTDC is an industry standard software for studying the transient behavior of electrical networks. EMTDC performs the electromagnetic transients calculations while PSCAD provides the graphical interface.PSCAD/EMTDC offers a large database of built-in components, and allows theuser to define his own models, either using other built-in components or coding a component in Fortran. Both methods are used during this study. Some components, like the electrical generators, are taken from the software library, while others, like the governors or the wind turbine aerodynamical model, are user-defined.
