Comprehensive Judgment

Power generation becomes a main way of using new energy. However, the access of distributed generation(DG) causes the ordinary protection system develop a series of problems. In this paper, the structure of distribution network with DG is introduced firstly.Secondly,it is analysed that the effect that DG brings to distribution network protection, and then a new protection scheme of distribution network with DG is put forward. The segment I, II of direction three-current protection on the line which is at the upstream of DG, and the next line’s segment I, II consists of a simple communication unit. Through the comprehensive judgment of two protections’ action results, fault can be isolated in minimum range quickly and accurately. Finally, the correctness and feasibility of the new protection principle are verified by simulating a 10KV distribution system.

Abstract BackgroundOne of the new technologies in generating power near the distribution system is called distributed generation which has supportive and destructive characteristics to the power system protection. One of the destructive characteristics of distributed generation is increasing the level of fault current to the protective equipment of the power system. In addition to increment of fault, it also alters the radial nature of the power distribution system and cause the power bidirectional rather than unidirectional. Integration of distributed generation to the distribution network causes increment of fault current effect, reliability drop, and affects security of protection system. The level of failure of protection be contingent on type, size, location and number of distributed generation. This fault current can cause a great damage to the electrical equipment with the miss operations of protective devices. The main aim of this paper is analysis of the fault current level to the protection of distribution network due to the integration of distributed generation which concerns on solar distributed generation, wind distributed generation and combination of solar and wind distributed generations at a time. This paper conducts the analysis for the increment of fault current by the integration of distributed generation and its impact on distribution network protection. ResultsThe analysis and the modeling are conducted on the 15KV distribution network of the radial feeder in Debre Markos town. This paper has covered the ling to ground, line to line and three phase fault analysis and their impact on the protection of distribution system for the wind and solar distributed generation types. After the integration of the distributed generation the fault current is increased by 0.529KA for three phase, 0.74KA for line to ground, 0.467KA for line to line and 0.523KA for line to line to ground. ConclusionsThis paper confirms designing distribution network without forecasting the future demand of electric power users give the protection equipment additional requirement. As the result, the fault current after the integration of distributed generation to the distribution network have great value in terms of power system protection.
