Abstract |
The conventional over current protection system of the meshed distribution networks has not been able to accommodate the changes in the distribution network topology; as a nonselective tripping occurs. Furthermore, high penetration of inverter-based distributed generation makes changes in the level and direction of the short circuit current during the fault. This paper introduces a decentralized protection scheme, using a communication system between relays of each zone, it employs Discrete Wavelet Transform to extract the high frequency components, which exists at fault occurrence, and the directional characteristic of the superimposed reactive power flows during the fault, calculated by Hilbert Transform. The proposed protection scheme has been applied to the modified IEEE 14-bus meshed network, integrated with two inverter-based distributed generators. A realistic modelling of the system has been simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC software. The proposed protection algorithm has been modeled and tested using MATLAB software.
