Abstract
The integration of inverter-based distributed generations (IBDGs) is gaining huge popularity in the modern distribution network owing to its clean generation in comparison to the conventional sources. Such deployment poses a problem for protection system engineers to maintain reliable, dependable and coordinated operation of relays. The reason being the inverter control techniques to supply limited current in the network in order to protect its electronic components. The problem aggravates when its penetration increases. The staircase current waveform is obtained in such a network as a magnitude of current increases with each disintegration of IBDGs, depending on the protection scheme for the IBDGs. Keeping this in mind, an adaptive method has been proposed by using Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCLs) to limit extra current, subsequently no requirement of further modifications in the setting of relays. The proposed method has been tested and verified on IEEE 12 bus distribution network.
