Maintaining Fuse in the Presence of Distributed Generation Sources in the Distribution Network to Improve Protection System

EasyChair Preprint 9712

Abstract

The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the high price of fossil fuels have made renewable resources attractive in energy-based economies around the world. Renewable energy sources will make up a significant part of the modern energy system in the future because they have promising potential. Many countries are already working to increase their capacity for renewable energy. Renewable resources are placed on distribution feeders or near consumers to provide power in power systems. The use of these resources may have negative effects on the distribution network, which should be considered in their placement. In this study, based on the current control of distributed production sources using the current-voltage diagram of the sources during the fault, a method of coordinating protection devices is presented. The effect of the presence of filling sources at different points on the flow during the flood has been compared. The simulation results are obtained using ETAP software. Coordination and regulation of protection devices have problems in some cases when scattered resources enter the network, which is recovered by using the proposed method of protection coordination.

Keyphrases: Distributed resource generation, Power system protection, distribution network, renewable energy sources
