Abstract :
Intelligent electrical devices (IEDs) used for protection and control of distribution networks are gaining increasing importance on the way towards Smart Grids. In this paper the main functionalities and features required from future IEDs to enable the realization of active network management and protection schemes for the future Smart Grids are described and highlighted with example simulation results from a few cases. Special attention will be paid to distributed generation (DG) interconnection and MV feeder IEDs.
