  • Abstract
    In this work, there are some requirements about the introduction of distribution generation in the power grids, and what they will demand in regards to protection systems and devices. From medium voltage to low voltage, there are some challenges in protecting such power grids, and due to such new necessities, it is introduced a test site, that can contribute conducting some test to get more insight into the situation. Some of the relevant challenges for such protection systems are; the change from radial grid configuration into a mesh network, and the presence of inverter interfaced distribution generation resources. Being able to facilitate the test in such environment is the goal of this work.
