Abstract

A summary is presented of a special publication, `Intertie Protection of Consumer-Owned Sources of Generation 3 MVA or Less´, which has been recently prepared by the IEEE PES Power System Relaying Committee to assist people involved in the installation, application, and operation of interconnected dispersed storage and generation (DSG) systems. The purpose of the present summary is to highlight protection considerations, other than surge protection, associated with the connection of small, dispersed sources of generation to utility distribution lines. Primary emphasis is given to detection of system disturbances or conditions that would require generator separation. Background information on the various types of utility distribution systems and small generators is provided to facilitate communication between utility engineers and owners of small generation sources
