Integration Of Network Protector Relays On Downtown Distribution Networks With Penetration Of Renewable Energy, Nigel Ramon Jordan
LSU Master's Theses
The demand and use of renewable energy sources such as solar panels is steadily increasing in today’s world. Renewable energy sources in distribution networks effectively reduce the amount of load consumed by customers. Renewable energy sources are also a solution to many environmental concerns. However, when these sources of energy are added to downtown networks they interfere with the normal operation of the protective relays and impose challenges such as unexpected tripping of network protector relays. In this paper, the effects of network protector relay operation is studied as a function of increasing photovoltaic (PV) penetration within the secondary grid …
