This paper presents a method to protect microgrids (MGs) through coordination of directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs). The new formulation is subjected to restrictions of pre-established time intervals to guarantee the primary and backup functions of each relay. . If microgrids are to become ubiquitous, it will require advanced methods of control and protection ranging from low-level inverter controls that can respond to faults to high-level multi-microgrid coordination to operate and protect the system. Microgrids are inherently dynamic systems due to their. . With dual protection microgrid access, both threats get neutralized before your surgeon's scalpel twitches. Traditional DOCR coordination is. .
