Changing Network Conditions and System Requirements - Part I: The Impact of Distributed Generation (DG) on Equipment rated above 1 kV

DG and its further growth give evidence that the effects and impact of DG on the system's behavior cannot longer be neglected. It results in higher short-circuit currents, other patterns of power flows, different voltage profiles and voltage variations, protection and control issues, potential islanding, synchronisation , safety issues, fault location, black-start conditions, system restoration, etc., reported in the TB.
