Abstract

Power industry has shown great growth in the past decades. The demand for newer and environmental friendly power sources are in large demand in order to decrease the emission of carbon dioxide. The introduction of renewable energy which supplied through distributed generation (DG) into the power system has changed the power flow complexity. DG mostly installed in the point of distribution and these changeso effects the reliability of the present protection system. This paper focusing on the impact of connecting distributed generation to the protection system at the level of distribution. The impact investigated is protection blinding and the condition is demonstrate by using Inverse Definite Time Relay (IDMT). The model are simulate using ERACS software with different values of DG injected to see the effect on distribution protection system. This study aimed to prove that DG is causing protection system problems which may lead to more dangerous events.
