Introduction-MVDC Distribution System

 According to IEEE Standard “ .48-39 kv voltage” is termed as Medium

voltage
 Large Power transfer capacity ,high effeciecny and improved power
quality as compared to MVAC
 Increasing trend of Renewable energy Resources and electric vehicles
in the world
 Rapid Technology improvement in Power Electronics (Effeciency,
High power rating)
Literature Review

Technique Merits Demerits

Fault Detection And • More time is required

Localization Using Probe • Communication Delay
Power Unit • Can not be used as a
first line of defense
Power Converter And Bus • Independent Of
Contactor Coordination Communication
Based Method • Less Computation is
required
