In traditional power grids, the unidirectional flow of energy and information has led to a decrease in efficiency. To address this issue, the concept of microgrids with bidirectional flow and independent power sources has been introduced. The components of a microgrid utilize various IoT protocols such as OPC-UA, MQTT, and DDS to implement bidirectional communication, enabling seamless network communication among different elements within the microgrid.

Current substations' protection relays rely only on internal substation data, where they are located, to detect changes. However, to more accurately detect changes in the system, various data from several external substations, including micro-grids, are required.

This issue will not be viable without a robust communication architecture that meets all communication specification requirements of frequency regulation, including latency, reliability, and security. Therefore, this paper focuses on providing a communication framework of interacting between the power grid management system and microgrid central controller.

In the proposed method, 14 attributes obtained through DGAM are utilized as the initial and unprocessed inputs of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). In this method, attribute selection and improved learning algorithm are utilized to enhance fault detection and recognition precision.
