Abstract
This article is based on power system simulation studies carried out by
VTT Processes of Finland and the University of Vaasa. The PSCAD (Power System
Computer-Aided-Design) power system simulation software developed by the
Manitoba HVDC Research Centre has been applied to these studies. One of the
key issues has been to verify that traditional network protection schemes and
settings are simply not adequate when there are Distributed Generation (DG)
systems connected to the network. The protection coordination between network
protection and the protection of the DG units has also been studied. The
results of these studies will be used to focus further research and
development in protection systems and concepts.
