Abstract

The microgrid concept is not a new one; however, implementing it and integrating it to a legacy grid is a challenge that engineers are thriving to solve. This challenge is due to many reasons including economic and technology [4]. The survivability of such a system in terms of its reliability and robustness to faults are key points to explore in the microgrid. The FREEDMources. A Green Hub was designed to represent the salient features of the FREEDM system. This hub will be used for developing and demonstrating techniques for seamless transitions between grid-connected and islanded modes of operation; fault detection method and fast isolation techniques, and voltage and frequency stability [4]. This 12kV Green Hub loop was modeled in MATLAB/Simumink and in a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS).
