Abstract :
Apart from the positive technical consequences like reducing losses, the increasing penetration of distributed generation (DG) units connected to the distribution network, has lead to the increase of the short-circuit (sc) currents and the fault level. Therefore it is important to know the contribution of each unit. This paper presents the available analytical equations to calculate the short-circuit current, and makes a comparison between the IEC 60909 and the results obtained by the simulations in a test network that incorporates these units.
