A First Approach on the Impact of Distributed Generation and Fault Impedance on Studies on domain of frequency of Voltage Sags

An analysis of the distributed generation (DG) and fault impedance on studies of voltage sags caused by system faults is presented on domain of frequency. The simulation of 62 case studies of phase-to-ground faults on 13.8, 69, 138 and 230 kV transmission lines were performed and the voltage of a 380 V sensitive industrial busbar client was monitored. These lines are part of the electrical system of the city of Goiania, Brazil. For each case study, different fault positions and impedance fault were simulated by considering different DG levels connected to the consumer busbar. Long-term simulation scenarios were obtained by the Monte Carlo method and analyzed based on their cumulative distribution functions and probability density curves of voltage sags. This is one major contribution of this work.
