Abstract
In this paper, an overview of DC micro-grid is described, which includes the status of DC micro-grid protection and its future development. The paper presents the key techniques of DC micro-grid protection. So far, standards, guidelines and techniques for DC micro-grid protection are well behind AC system. This paper summarizes the protective devices and protective methods of different DC micro-grid structures. The protective devices include fuses, circuit breakers and power-electronic switches. According to a series of research achievements, the paper points out the technological gaps and proposes some ideas for DC micro-grid protection in the future.
