Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of varying fault impedances in the context of Distributed Generation (DG) influences on distribution overcurrent protection infrastructure (specifically fuse-recloser protection). The assessment includes an investigation into a DG source integration evaluation method to determine the effects of varying fault impedances. The assessment and evaluation techniques used are demonstrated through time-domain simulations in the EMTP-RV software environment on a typical distribution network.Keywords
