Abstract :
The installation of small or medium sized embedded generation units operating in parallel with the main utility supply presents several technical complications. This paper describes a new technique for detecting a loss of grid condition by measuring the embedded generator´s power output. It also details the implementation of the technique in a microprocessor based multi-function protection relay
