Abstract DC microgrid is attracting a lot of attention due to the increase in renewable energy and DC-based loads. Low-voltage DC is suitable for small-scale systems, and in particular, the ring type DC microgrid is superior in terms of connection of various distributed generation and continuity of power supply. However, due to the bi-directional flow, the method of detecting the fault section when a fault occurs is complicated, and the connection of multiple distributed generation makes it more difficult.
