    In this study, a double-feeder 22 kV distribution system connected to a very small power plant (VSPP) was simulated in the PowerFactory DIgSILENT program. A neutral ground resistance (NGR) was introduced to reduce a ground fault current from the VSPP, extend the relay operating time to the delay range, and reduce undesired trip of non-faulty feeder that VSPP connected. Thus, the overcurrent protection relay was simulated to analyze working patterns during faults. Three types of VSPP transformer NGR installations were considered: VSPP without NGR, VSPP with a Bisection method approach, and VSPP with the proposed symmetrical component calculation approach. Moreover, this study analyzed the effect of overvoltage on the distribution system with the proposed systematic component calculation approach under fault conditions. The result from the case study indicated that the NGR installation with the proposed approach can reduce the fault current and shift delay time of the protection device to avoid maloperation.

    Faults in the distribution system of the Thai electrical system occur frequently. Such faults directly affect the protective equipment of the distribution system. The protective device disconnects the circuit unnecessarily on many occasions because it detects a higher current than expected. In this study, a 22-kV distribution system and a very small power plant (VSPP) were connected. The system consists of two feeders. Feeder 1 supplies electricity directly to the load; a fault was enforced in this feeder. Feeder 2 supplies electricity directly to the load; the VSPP was connected to this feeder. The fault in Feeder 1 was simulated, and the behavior of the defense system was studied. Unnecessary disconnection of the VSPP circuit took place because the high fault current caused the overcurrent protection relay to operate instantaneously. Therefore, a neutral ground resistance was installed at the VSPP transformer to reduce the fault current, extend the relay operating time to the delay range, and reduce unnecessary disconnections of the overcurrent protection relay of the VSPP. In addition, when a fault occurs in the distribution system, the faulted phase voltage decreases, whereas the non-faulted phase voltage increases. Surge arresters and voltage transformers must be able to withstand an increase in voltage. This is also explained and discussed in this paper.
