Analysis of the Specifics of Selecting Relay Protection and Automatic (RPA) Equipment in Distributed Networks with Auxiliary Low-Power Generating Facilities

Abstract

Specifics of the distributed networks with auxiliary low-power generating facilities consist in electrical proximity of the generating units (GU) and consumer electrical receivers, which, therefore, share the transient processes, while the parameters of such processes heavily depend on both GU and load parameters. This paper provides the results of analysis of the challenging technical issues associated with the GU integration into such networks with respect to selection of the relay protection and automatic equipment.
