Abstract

Due to the increasing demand of energy and the need for nonconventional energy sources, Distributed Generation (DG) has come into play. The trend of unidirectional power flow has been gradually shifting with new technology comes new challenges. The introduction of Distribution Generation (DG) into the conventional power system brings various challenges; one of the major challenges is system protection under Distributed Generation (DG) sources. These sources pose a significant challenge due to bidirectional flows from Distributed Generation (DGs) as well as lower fault current contribution from inverter interfaced distributed generation (DGs). This research work reviews existing protection schemes that have been suggested for active distribution networks. Most of these protection strategies apply only to smaller distribution systems implying that they may need to be extended to larger systems with a much higher penetration of distributed generation. At the end of this research work, a potential protection scheme has also been recommended as a future work based on the improvement in technology.
