"Microgrid systems effectively integrate a generation mix of solar, wind, and other renewable energy resources. However, the unpredictable faults and power shortage cases contribute primarily to the unreliable operation of microgrid networks. Fault Ride Through is considered one of the vital techniques towards maintaining a reliable and efficient operation of the power systems under fault cases. This paper aims to investigate and study the Fault Ride Through capability for different Microgrid topologies. In this study, Microgrid and Fault Ride Through models have been built in order to study the behavior of this technique on keeping the installed renewable energy resources connected to the Microgrid system. Results emphasize the functional operation of the proposed Fault Ride Through technique and its impact on operational cost reduction by avoiding the PV interruptions. A losses reduction of about 38% of the output power of the PV system is achieved by applying the Fault Ride Through technique on the Microgrid system, compared to a total cut of the PV system in the case of the regular operation without Fault Ride Through. The implementation of this technique can lead to saving an operational cost of around 327317 $ per year."
