For the reconnection of the two subsystems to occur, it is necessary that their terminal voltages are synchronized and this topic deals with a methodology which is still little explored in the literature. In this context, this work presents the implementation of an automated microgrid, in which the occurrence of islanding is detected and later the resynchronization process with the main network is performed. Through the results achieved, the efficacy of the implemented resynchronization method was shown, performing the process of reconnecting the microgrid smoothly, in accordance with the established by the IEEE-Std 1547-2003 standard.","PeriodicalId":442384,"journal":{"name":"2021 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116025788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this application, extra-low voltage dc buses are interesting to supply different loads with reduced power processing stages. This is because many loads and sources can be easily integrated on extra-low voltage dc buses (ELVDC), as well as batteries, electronic loads, PV panels, and others. On the other hand, the highest voltage levels dc buses are still important to allow the ac grid connection. To form nanogrids with more than one dc bus, the development of bidirectional interlink converters (BIC) is important and is still a challenge due to the wide voltage rations between ELVDC and LVDC buses.
