Abstract

This paper describes design of protection and load-priority control devices for distributed generation. Possibilities of recent energy-metering integrated circuits are utilized in system diagnostics and protection. The experimental prototype is based on sensor modules and metering IC. Modules could be integrated with converters and distribution centres for voltage quality monitoring and equipment protection.
