ABSTRACT
As the yearly electric energy demand grows, there is a significant increase in the
penetration of distributed generation (DG) to fulfil this increase in demand. Increase in the
number of DG is partly attributed to the new deregulated environment and the advent of new
concepts as the smart grid. Penetration of a DG into an existing distribution system has many
impacts on the system, with the power system protection being one of the major issues. DG
causes the system to lose its radial power flow, besides the increased fault level of the system
caused by the interconnection of the DG. Short circuit power of a distribution system changes
when its state changes. This may result in elongation of fault clearing time and hence
disconnection of equipments in the distribution system or unnecessary operation of protective
devices. This paper presents a Multiobjective performance index (MOI) for distribution
networks with distributed generation which considers a wide range of technical issues for
optimal placement of DG. Distributed generation is extensively located on the IEEE-9Bus
test feeder, IEEE-33Bus Radial Distribution Feeder and Practical 24Bus Distribution Feeder
Located at Hassan. The Transient Stability studies are carried out by plotting terminal
voltage, frequency and swing curve of DG with respect to main grid. From this we found
critical clearing time and angle which is useful for relay co-ordination. The Directional and
Non-Directional Over Current Relay Co-ordination (OCR) is carried out for radial 9-Bus
radial system by considering without and with DG placement.

I. INTRODUCTION
Traditional Concept of Power Systems Electricity generation is produced in large
power plants, usually located close to the primary energy source (for instance: coil mines)
and far away from the consumer centres. Electricity is delivered to the customers using a
large passive transmission and distribution infrastructure, which involves high voltage (HV),
medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) networks. These distribution networks are
designed to operate radially. The power flows only in one direction: from upper voltage
levels down-to customers situated along the radial feeders.
New Concept of Power Systems technologies allow the electricity to be generated in
small sized plants. In this new conception, some of the energy-demand is supplied by the
centralized generation and another part is produced by distributed generation. The electricity
is going to be produced closer to the customers [1], [2]
Faults generally results in high current levels in electrical power systems. These
currents are used to decide the occurrence of faults and require protection devices, which may
differ in design depending on the complexity and accuracy necessary. The ordinary type of
protection devices are thermo-magnetic switches, moulded-case circuit breakers (MCCBs),
fuses, and over-current relays. Amongst these types, over-current relay is the most common
protection device used to counteract excessive currents in power systems [3].
An over-current protection relay is a device able to sense any change in the signal,
which it is receiving normally from a current and/or voltage transformer and carry out a
specific operation in case that the incoming signal is outside a predetermined range. Usually
the relay operates closing or opening electrical contacts, as for example the tripping of a
circuit breaker [4], [5].
In this paper case study and their results are presented. Cases gives a solution to the
optimal location of DG considering IMO for same rating of DG with Lag, Lead and Unity
power factor for standard radial test system and also for practical distribution system. We
studied the terminal voltage, frequency and swing curve of DG w.r.t. main grid by conduction
3phase to ground fault at buses by using MiPower software [6]. Finally we discussed and
proposed a solution of relay co-ordination to a 9bus radial system with and without DG,
considering directional and non-directional relays using MiPower software.
II. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Nowadays, the use of renewable sources of energy has reached greater importance as
it promotes sustainable living and with some exceptions (biomass combustion) does not
contaminant. Renewable sources can be used in either small-scale applications away from the
large sized generation plants or in large-scale applications in locations where the resource is
abundant and large conversion systems are used. Nevertheless, problems arise when the new
generation is integrated with the power distribution network, as the traditional distribution
systems have been designed to operate radially, without considering the integration of the
new generation in the future. In radial systems, the power flows from upper terminal voltage
levels down to customers situated along the radial feeders .Therefore, over-current protection
in radial systems is quite straightforward as the fault current can only flow in one direction.
With the increase of penetration of DG, distribution networks are becoming similar to
transmission networks where generation and load nodes are mixed (“mesh” system) and more
complex protection design is needed. In this new configuration, design considerations

regarding the number, size location and technology of the DG connected must be taken into
account as the short circuit levels are affected and miss coordination problems with
protection devices may arise.
We carried out Relay co-ordination for radial 9 Bus system by placing directional
relays and Non directional relays without DG connected and after addition of DG as affects
both the coordination as well as the instantaneous high current setting of the primary and
backup relays. The Plug, Time and instantaneous settings were calculated and relay co-
ordination was carried with addition of DG.
We tried to investigate transient stability of the power system while the test system
was subjected to a particular fault. In that case, the test system was investigated by applying a
fault to a specific distribution line and at the buses afterwards it was assumed that the fault
had been cleared by tripping the faulty line after certain fault duration. Then by plotting the
behavior of the DG rotor angle, voltage and frequency w.r.t main generator the critical
clearing time and angle will be noted down.
III. PERFORMANCE INDICES
A set of indices is proposed to quantify some of the technical benefits of DG. They
are ILp, ILq, IVD, ISC1 and ISC3.[1]
A. Real and Reactive Power Loss Index (ILp and ILq )
The major potential benefit offered by DG is the reduction in electrical line losses.
The loss can be significant under heavy load conditions. With the inclusion of DG, line loss
in the distribution system can be reduced. Obviously, line-loss reductions are due to
reductions in power flows resulting from the introduction of DG. However, depending on the
ratings and locations of DG units, it is possible to have an increase in lo(and unrealistic)
penetration levels. The first two indices (ILp & ILq) [1] express respectively as,
....… (1)

Where losses
k is the total complex power losses for the kth distribution network
configuration, and losseso is the total complex power losses for the distribution network
without DG.
B. Voltage Drop Index (IVD)
One advantage of careful location and sizing of DG is the enhancement of the
voltage profile. By introducing DG in the system, voltage profile can be improved because
DG can provide a portion of the real and reactive power to the load, thus helping to decrease

current along a section of the distribution line, which, in turn, will result in a boost in the
voltage magnitude at the customer site.

magnitude for the three phases);

network configuration; and NN is the number of nodes.
C. Three-Phase and Single-Phase-to-Ground Short Circuit
Short-Circuit currents introduce potentially destructive energy in the form of heat and
magnetic forces in a power system. Historically the distribution network has been designed to
accommodate power flow from the grid supply points downward through tiers of networks
operating at lower voltage to the electricity consumers. The ISC3 and ISC1 are related to the
protection and selectivity issues since they evaluate the maximum short-circuit current
variation between the scenarios with and without DG. These indices give the power engineer
a notion of how the DG impacts on the protection devices that were planned for a network
without such generation units. Hence, a low impact on this concern means close-to-unity
values for ISC3 and ISC1 indices[1]

IV. PROBLEM FORMULATION
A Multiobjective performance index for the performance calculation of distribution
systems for DG location is proposed in this work. It considers all previously mentioned
indices by strategically giving a weight for each one. This could be performed, since all
impact indices are normalized (values between 0 and 1). The weighting factors are chosen
based on the importance and criticality of the different loads and according to the objectives

Multiobjective performance index for networks with DG takes into account all indices
by strategically giving a weighting factor to each one. This allows them to be related and a
unique index to indicate the extent of DG impact, in a global manner, on a distribution
network. These relevance factors are intended to give the corresponding importance to each
technical issue (impact indices) due to the presence of DG and depend on the required
analysis (e.g., planning, regular operation, emergency operation). Furthermore, the relevance
factors should be flexible since electric utilities present different concerns about losses,
voltages, protection schemes, etc. This flexibility makes the proposed methodology even
more suitable as a tool for finding the most beneficial places where DGs may be inserted,
regarding the electric utilities’ technical perspective and, consequently, regarding the DG
owner’s economic perspective since utilities may incentivize (or even disincentives)
connections points that are more beneficial based on the technical impacts.

B. PRACTICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The Hassan distribution sub-station is located on the Banglore-Manglore road. It has
undergone many changes in the past few decades. In this system, the 220 kV bus is being
tapped which is running from Shimoga main receiving station to Mysore receiving station.
Another line runs from Hassan to Nittur. The 220 kV is stepped down to 66 kV by using two
100 MVA power transformers. Then it is again stepped down by using a 20 MVA and
12.5MVA transformers in MUSS, Santhepet, Hassan. At present there are 11 feeders which
distribute power to Hassan town and surrounding areas. Out of these 11 feeders a particular
feeder known as Water Works feeder is taken for analysis.

DG
For NINE bus system the optimal location of DG is at Bus-8 Case-1: Three Phase to
ground fault near Grid Starting at 1 sec and clearing at 2.33 sec system is stable (1.33 sec).

From the above figures we can conclude that when fault near grid the critical clearing
time is more than the fault near DG. The rotor angle of DG will swings more when fault near
DG than near grid.
By knowing Critical clearing time (cct) and critical clearing angle (cca) we can
analyse the generators behaviour, voltage stability range and frequency stability. If the swing
range of DG w.r.t grid crosses 1800 in positive or negative direction then system will lose its
synchronism and leads system to instability.
The cct and cca will indicate the over current relay operating time near to grid and or DG,
for case 1 when fault near grid the relay should operate with in by 1.33 sec if it fails to
operate then the system will be unstable and DG loses its synchronism.
D. OVER CURRENT RELAY CO-ORDINATION FOR 9 BUS RADIAL DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM
Referring to Figure 1, the 9-bus radial system, we will do over current relay (OCR)
co-ordination for last feeder for the bus 1, 4, 6, 8.The assumption is done because even if
fault occurs near bus 3, 5, 7, 9 it will not effect for last feeder part i.e. for bus 4, 6, 8.

Fig.5.17 Curves for Directional OCR Co-ordination for last feeder without DG
The last feeder of 9 bus is as shown in above Fig.5.16 SLD was developed in
MiPower software. To do relay co-ordination we need fault current at the buses, by
conducting 3phase to ground fault at all the buses the fault currents at each buses is as shown
in figure 5.16.

Since one source is present the fault current will flow from source to load. Here Relay
R2 acts back up for R3, R1 is back up for R2 when fault occurs near line3 i.e. between bus3
and bus4 R3 will acts instantaneously and isolate the faulty section if this relay fails to sense
and not trip then R2 will acts as a backup relay the time of operation for R3 is 0.1 sec if it
fails to operate then after a certain delay R2 will sense and trip at 0.5215sec.If fault occurs at
line2 R2 will acts instantaneously at 0.25sec. When it fails then R1 will trip at 0.9296 sec as
backup relay for R2.Similarly if fault at line1 R1 will trip at 0.4 sec instantaneously. Fault
near line2 R2 should operate if R3 trips it leads to mal operation.

The above results are of directional OCR co-ordination for last feeder of 9bus by
connecting DG As previously discussed in results for Fig5.18 and 5.19 the relays only sense
one flow of direction of fault current. After connecting DG at last bus then the radial behaviour
of system will change then flow of fault current will be in both direction magnitude will depend
on the level of contribution of grid and generator. The Relay co-ordination setting should be
such that w.r.t DG relay R5 should be acts backup to R6 and R4 backup to R5 these
requirements is important because the fault contribution level of DG fault current will be
decreasing for far away fault from DG. R1, R2, andR3 acts as Directional relay for fault current
flowing from grid. R4, R5 and R6 acts as directional relay for fault current flowing from DG.

For fault at line 4 R4 will acts instantaneously if fails to operate R3 will acts after a
certain delay but R8 will act for contribution of fault current from DG. The relay setting
should be such that R1 acts back up to R2, R2 for R3 and R3 for R4 for fault contribution
from main generator. R8 acts back up for R7, R7 backup for R6 and R6 backup for R5 for
contribution of fault current from DG.
VI. CONCLUSION
By introducing DG in the system, voltage profile can be improved because DG can
provide a portion of the real and reactive power to the load locally, thus helping to decrease
current along a section of the distribution line, which, in turn, will result in a boost in the
voltage magnitude at the customer site.
The proposed Weighting factors are flexible since electric utilities have different
concerns about losses, voltages, protection schemes, etc.
By knowing Critical clearing time (cct) and critical clearing angle (cca) we can
analyse the generators rotor angle behaviour voltage stability range and frequency stability.
Integration of the feeder with the DG adds another current source to the whole system. This
affects both the coordination as well as the instantaneous high current setting of the primary
and backup relays.
