Abstract :
Due to the increasing penetration of Distributed Generation (DG), conventional distribution overhead feeder protection schemes are prone to potential threats. In order to cope up with this, adaptive feeder protection schemes are required. This work involves the development and evaluation of an adaptive Overcurrent feeder protection scheme and an adaptive Recloser and Sectionalizers feeder protection scheme to vanquish the impacts of wind based DG which is highly intermittent in nature. PSCAD® is used to carry out simulations. MATLAB based software package for distribution system conductor sizing and protection coordination studies are also presented.
