    In the recent decade, many countries around the globe have been increased the proportion of electrical power generation from renewable energy sources, which results in rising in the penetration level of distributed generation (DG). However, the installation of DG into the distribution system may raise many issues that can impact the distribution system in both the technical and economic aspects. When DG is connected to a distribution system, it can affect the performance of the system and the protective device already installed owing to the change of voltage level, short-circuit level and direction of power flow in the system. For this reason, a protective device may cause the malfunction because the bus impedance of the system is changed; this will result in a change of the current in each bus. This paper aims to study the coordination between the protective relay and the DG installed into the distribution system. The distribution system under investigation is a part of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA). Under this research, DG data that are connected to the PEA distribution is used. The simulations are performed using digital simulation and electrical network calculation program (DIgSILENT).

    In this past few years, installation of distributed generator (DG) has become topic of interest in many countries due to rapid increase in energy and environmental issue. Generating power from renewable source has been proposed to compensate fossil fuel that is currently depleted. Wind power is one of the renewable energy sources that gains a huge attention, and many utilities are connecting wind power to distribution system. This number is going to get higher in the near future. Research on influence of wind power on system must be done in order to ensure the reliability of power system. This paper aims to study an impact of wind power-integrated distribution system when fault occurs in the system for various conditions. Many factors capable of changing system characteristics have been taken into account such as distribution system consisting of multi-wind power generation, size of wind power generation, fault type, and location of fault. Distribution system under this study is modeled based on 22 kv distribution network of Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) in Thailand. Simulation will be done by using PSCAD/EMTP. Result obtained from case studies will be used to analyze and evaluate the effect of installation of wind power. The result indicates that the DG contributes significant fault current to the system when fault occurs.

    Distributed generation is becoming increasingly attractive to the power industry. Several distributed generation technologies such as wind energy systems, solar energy systems, biomass, and biogas are becoming economically viable. Thai government by the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency has issued the Renewable Energy Development Plan (REDP) in order to promote the usage of renewable energy. In addition, a policy that aims to increase the electric power generation from renewable energy is to expand the amount of electrical power to connect to the distribution system. After the implementing of this policy, both of the numbers and generation capacity of distributed generation who are willing to sell the electric power are significantly increasing. Under this policy, very small power producer (VSPP) has to pay the fee of 2% of its electrical energy sold to electricity utility. The main purpose of this fee is to cover the electrical line losses due to the employment of distributed generation (DG) or VSPP. However, the suitable and fairness for both VSPP and utility is still questionable. The goal of this paper is to analyze the effect of electrical line losses with the installing DG or VSPP into the distribution system. The results of this paper can be used and created the suitable and fairness of the fee for both VSPP and utility.
