Protection of New York State electric utility distribution systems containing decentralized storage and generation devices. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6651165
The report describes protection and safety requirements of New York State utilities for customer-owned generation devices. The appendices to the report describe generic protection schemes for seven fundamental decentralized storage and generation (DSG) arrangements, including synchronous and induction generators and inverter systems. The limitations of conventional protection practices and hardware with DSG integration are discussed, as well as alternative protection approaches. New hardware requirements involved in these alternative approaches and potential barriers to acceptance are also summarized.
