The concept of microgrids goes back to the early years of the electricity industry although the systems then were not formally called microgrids. Today, two types of microgrids can be seen: independent and grid connected. The protection requirement of these two types differs as the protection needs of an independent microgrid are intended for protecting

Analysis of DC microgrid protection schemes is challenging because 1) as discussed in previous sections each converter controls and operation is unique, and 2) there are limited software available for simulating DC systems. Without appropriate standards and guidelines it is difficult to address the DC microgrid system restoration strategies.

This paper presents a comprehensive review and comparative analysis of protection schemes and their implementation challenges for different microgrid architectures with various operational requirements.
A simple method of integration of a microgrid controller into utility operations would be through abstraction. High-level use cases are presented to the operator (ex., voltage regulation, power factor control, island mode), but most actual control is handled by the remote controller and not the power system operator.
