Modeling And Protection Scheme For Ieee 34 Radial Distribution Feeder With And Without Distributed Generation, Sidharth Parmar Ashok

Theses and Dissertations

The existing power system was not designed with distribution generation (DG) in mind. As DG penetration is being considered by many distribution utilities, there is a rising need to address many incompatibility issues which puts a big emphasis on the need to review and implement suitable protection scheme. The usual practice for existing distribution feeders is the Overcurrent scheme which includes coordination between fuses and reclosers. But when DG is added to the distribution feeder, the configuration is no more radial as there is contribution of fault currents from the DG's and if the existing protection scheme is applied then …
