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.
