Integrating Solar PV Power with Existing Distribution Circuits; Part 1
A wave of new solar photovoltaic (“PV”) installations for power generation is hitting many distribution circuits around the country. These installations are typically in the range of 10-2000 kW and comprise of a set of solar PV arrays or trays … Continue reading

Distributed Generation Impact: Sympathetic Tripping of Protection Devices
by E. Cano, K. Dartawan, R. Austria One potential impact of interconnecting distributed generation (DG) is the potential sympathetic tripping of overcurrent (OC) protection devices, where a healthy feeder trips unnecessarily for a fault on another feeder. The sympathetic tripping … Continue reading
