Abstract

The chapter represents a study based on the integration of renewable energy power plant to the existing distribution network considering adaptive protection relays. IEEE 9 bus test system is used as the existing network model for the study. The aim of the study is to design a self-healing power grid in smart grid concept with integration of renewable power sources which is considered as the first step of smart cities. The methodology of the study contains modelling of a solar power plant, examination of existing network, analysis of integration criteria of distributed generation plant to grid and adaptive relay protection in order to obtain a reliable self-healing power network in smart grid concept. The major outcome from the study is the methodology for self-healing network with distributed generation. The methodology can be considered as the first step for a smart city that includes renewable power generation units and reliable distribution network.
