A study on protection issues in presence of distributed generation

Abstract

Distributed generation (DG) is very effective way to absorb the local clusters of renewable energy pockets. The locally formed grids serve the best purpose of supporting the main grid and to reach the far customer to be supplied by the energy. The conventional generation systems when integrated with DG leads to many issues for the protection aspect of the system. This paper presents the analysis and discuss the various probable fault issues while integration. The study is done with and without DG systems. The attempt of probable solutions to be implemented can also to be discussed. The classical method of fault calculation using the power world simulator is also tried for the effective and accurate analysis. The obtained results are presented and discussed.
