Due to its current limitation, Inverter-interfaced Distributed Generation (IIDG) is supposed to have little impact on protection system of distribution networks. However, in case of high power IIDG, the situation could be changed. This paper aims to show situations in which IIDG could provoke false tripping to overcurrent protections along distribution feeders. Proposed solution is to provide directional...
Effective voltage control is essential for the satisfactory operation of distribution networks. The increased connection of distributed generation to existing distribution networks challenges the current methods of controlling network voltages. Network voltage is primarily controlled by changing tap position of the primary transformers. The transformer secondary voltage will be automatically increased...
This paper proposes a Multi-agent System (MAS) approach to coordinate overcurrent relays, aiming to protect distribution systems with distributed generators. The connection of distributed generation (DG) units causes a reduction in the efficacy of protection systems coordination and, in some cases, an increase of operating times. Coordination studies aim to guarantee the protection selectivity in...
Distributed generation is increasingly likely to play a major role in electricity supply systems as recognition is made of its low carbon credentials. However, the integration of these units at distribution voltages is a major challenge for utilities. One particular issue is that generators may, unintentionally, continue to supply local demand when areas of the network are isolated from the main system...
Integrating Distributed Generation (DG) in distribution systems will have an impact on the fault current magnitudes. This could have an impact on the coordination of the protective devices. In this paper, the optimal DG locations are determined in order to minimize the overall relay operating times for a meshed distribution system. The problem is formulated as a Non-Linear Programming (NLP) problem...
