description To enhance the stability of a micro-grid under fault conditions, this paper proposes the coordination control of a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), an active superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), and distributed generation units via wireless network communications. This coordination control can smoothly separate the micro-grid from the main network in the case of severe or permanent faults, and assist the micro-grid to achieve the fault ride-through (FRT) operation if the fault is minor or temporary. Details on the modeling, control strategy, and network architecture are presented. Moreover, the simulation analysis of a 10-kV class micro-grid including the SMES, SFCL, and photovoltaic generation units is implemented in MATLAB. Concerning the performance evaluation of the coordination control not only the severe and minor faults but also different communication delays are taken into account. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed coordination control.
