Abstract

Integration of Distributed Generator (DG) to the distribution network feeder causes its power flow to bidirectional in place of unidirectional influencing the feeder protection. The analysis of chapter presents the influence of Distributed Generator on the over current relay behaviour. The behaviour of the scheme is evaluated for an 8-bus radial distribution feeder in PSCAD/EMTDC software and the characteristics of over current relay are tested on MATLAB software. The simulation result indicates the effects of DG on feeder protection as the current from Distributed Generator reduces relay reach.
