Differential protection is said to be the best appropriate system to be used in this project because it takes into consideration all protection encounters, such as bidirectional power flow and reduction of fault current level in islanded operation mode, and it is be able to. .

Index Terms— Distributed generation, differential protection, integration of DG. An emerging form of power distribution system which is embedded with a combination of different kinds of power generation sources, like renewable energy sources, combined heat and power (CHP), and distributed energy. . Abstract—The proliferation of inverter-based resources chal-lenges traditional microgrid protection by introducing variable fault currents and complex transient behaviors. Fixed over-current (OC) protection schemes often fall short, particularly sympathetic tripping and missing operation events. The differential scheme is a very reliable method of ensuring the safety of protected areas.
