OPTIMAL CONTRIBUTION OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION IN MEDIUM VOLTAGE GRIDS DURING A FAULT, NOW AND IN THE FUTURE Alliander: S. van Loon, F. Volberda, F. Provoost Enexis: J. Morren Session 3 – 0092
Introduction Distribution System Operators (DSO) within The Netherlands: Session 3 – 0092
Introduction Increasing DG in MV-grids: • Connected by step-up transformer • Direct connection MV LV Gen Gen Session 3 – 0092
Introduction Conflicts: • Selective tripping time grading (>300ms) • Voltage dips unwanted disconnection of DG • No support grid codes (MV and < 5 MVA) • E.ON grid code FRTHV-grids, <150 ms Session 3 – 0092
Introduction Is there a need for smarter protection schemes in MV-grids? Session 3 – 0092
Present protection scheme • A voltage dip / frequency change disconnect DG • More DG more power lost • Over-/under- voltage damage to equipment Session 3 – 0092
2F Present protection scheme 150/10 kV substation Example: • 2 phase fault: • DG protection • DSO protection 21 27 27 27 G1 G2 G3 Undervoltage 27 Distance relay 21 Session 3 – 0092
Present protection scheme DG disconnect Fault Example: • Duration fault: 1060 ms Network protection Session 3 – 0092
Present protection scheme Example: • Power swing HV/MV transformer +12 MW -6 MW Session 3 – 0092
Expectations DSO • Stability • Reliability • Fully selective protection scheme: • Safety of personnel • Security of supply • Prevent damage to equipment • Worst case: • Under- and/or over-voltage Session 3 – 0092
DG must stay connected DG must disconnect Non-dedicated feeders Dedicated feeders G1 G2 G3 Smarter grids • A smart grid needs a smart protection Session 3 – 0092
Conclusions • Increasing DG new protection scheme • Fast disconnection of faults • Shorter voltage dips • Prepare the MV-grid now for future grids • Change protection of dedicated feeders • Allow contribution of large DG Session 3 – 0092
