Protection of New York State Electric Utility Distribution Systems containing decentralized storage and generation devices. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7173611
Purpose of this study was to investigate the protection and personnel safety issues associated with the wide-scale integration of decentralized storage generation (DSG) equipment into the distribution systems of New York State electrical utilities. A survey of New York State utilities was made to determine requirements of the utilities for customer-owned generation in the protection and safety areas in September 1983. Appendices describe the generic protection schemes for the distribution system and DSG for seven fundamental DSG arrangements, including synchronous generators, induction generators, and inverter systems. Alternative protection philosophies are also described.
