An adaptive zero-sequence current protection scheme for distribution networks based on iterative fault current calculation of IIDGs

Due to the inherent output fluctuations of inverter-interfaced distributed generators (IIDGs), the fault characteristics of distribution networks have changed, posing challenges for relay protection setting. Taking a typical low-resistance grounding system with IIDG as an example, this paper first a...

description Due to the inherent output fluctuations of inverter-interfaced distributed generators (IIDGs), the fault characteristics of distribution networks have changed, posing challenges for relay protection setting. Taking a typical low-resistance grounding system with IIDG as an example, this paper first analyzes the zero-sequence current characteristics during single phase-to-ground faults after IIDG integration and clarifies its impact on traditional instantaneous zero-sequence current protection. Based on this analysis, a fault current calculation algorithm for IIDGs is proposed, along with an adaptive zero-sequence current protection scheme to enhance protection selectivity and reliability, thereby accommodating high-penetration renewable energy integration. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method.
