contents This article presents differential protection of the distribution line connecting a wind farm in a microgrid. Machine Learning (ML) based models are built using differential features extracted from currents at both ends of the line to assist in relaying decisions. Wavelet coefficients obtained after feature selection from an extensive list of features are used to train the classifiers. Internal faults are distinguished from external faults with CT saturation. The internal faults include the high impedance faults (HIFs) which have very low currents and test the dependability of the conventional relays. The faults are simulated in a 5-bus system in PSCAD/EMTDC. The results show that ML-based models can effectively distinguish faults and other transients and help maintain security and dependability of the microgrid operation.
