Abstract
DG integration reduces the selectivity and sensitivity of grid relay protection. A new control algorithm is proposed. It shows that the negative sequence current will not be affected by DG when the DG is designed as a symmetric three-phase current source. In this case, the negative sequence characteristic can be utilized for grid protection during short-circuit faults. If DGs maximum power capacity is restricted to be lower than total load capacity, DG terminal line-voltage and the negative sequence voltage can be used as the criteria for islanding detection. Then it is possible to cutoff DG in order to fulfill the reclosing requirement. A complicated simulation system is designed using PSCAD/EMTDC program. Different short-circuit faults are simulated to verify the proposals. The test results confirm well with the conclusions.
