The articles in this special section focus on microgrid protection which has become a topic of great interest as the number microgrids with prominent levels inverter-based resources (IBRs), storage, and managed loads grown greatly along trend toward new generation being connected to distribution networks.

The reliability of supply in distribution networks can be improved by islanding (parts of) the network as autonomous microgrids case a contingency. Microgrids are commonly fed inverter-based distributed energy resources, which causes transient stability challenges due to lack inertia and strongly coupled dynamics. is conventionally analyzed time-domain analysis. However, energy-function based a...

This paper focuses on the problem of voltage control of islanded inverterinterfaced microgrids consisting of several distributed generation (DG) units with parallel structure. The main objectives are to (i) design a decentralized/distributed voltage controller with minimum information exchange between DG units and their local controllers (ii) design a fixed-/low-order dynamic output feedback co...

Steady increase in electricity consumption, fossil fuel depletion, higher erection times of conventional plants, etc., are encouraging the use more and onsite renewable energy. However, due to dynamic changes environmental factors as well customer load, energy generation is facing issues with reliability quality supply. As a solution all these factors, integrated cluster microgrids being formed...
