Design of a Non-PLL Grid-Forming Inverter for Smooth Microgrid Transition Operation
This paper develops a controller for a grid-forming (GFM) inverter that is capable of operating as either a GFM or grid-feeding source that can improve the operation of a microgrid during on-off grid transitions through use of a novel synchronization approach. Furthermore, this co...

Hierarchical Data-Driven Protection for Microgrid with 100% Renewable Penetration: Preprint
The accurate detection and isolation of faults is critical for the reliable operation of microgrids (MGs). Traditional protection approaches are even more challenged for 100% renewable MGs because inverter-based resources (IBRs) are the only sources for fault current which are usu...

Operation of Grid Forming Converters as Self Excited Induction Generators Under Non-Ideal Loading Conditions
Self-excited induction generators offer a robust solution for power production for standalone as well as grid-connected systems. In general, self-excited induction generators require excitation capacitors which make use of the machine magnetization characteristics for voltage buil...

Use of Traveling Wave Signatures in Medium-Voltage Distribution Systems for Fault Detection and Location
Protection systems are a critical feature for the proper operation of a power grid. Protection systems should be able to quickly detect, identify, locate, and isolate the faults within a time frame that prevents damage to grid components and reduces customer outages. As more inver...
