Relaying considerations
• DG infeed may reduce the reach of overcurrent relays– DG feeds fault, so utility current is fault
current minus DG contribution
– Sympathetic tripping of feeder breakers
– Defeat fuse saving

Fault
Solution is to use directional overcurrent relays at substation

DG
Since DG feeds the fault (backfeed), it will likely defeat fuse saving

• Sequence– First we see interruption and reclosure with a
voltage sag due to DG disconnect– Then voltage returns to normal (station step
regulator or LTC)– Then DG reconnects, and we see a voltage
swell– Then voltage returns to normal (station step
regulator or LTC)• Obviously needs to have coordinated
voltage control– Limits to how much DG one feeder can stand

Power flow reversal in voltage regulators
• If excess DG during low load causes power to flow in reverse direction through voltage regulators misoperation is possible
– Modern controls recognize this and change to reverse power mode (regulate in opposite direction so that controls operate correctly)

• Detailed 3-phase study shows:– as wind generation increases, one outside
phase voltage rises while the other drops– feeder has problems with frequent capacitor
switching and/or votlage regulator stepping events
– Cases like this may need dedicated feeder or doubly-fed generator to avoid power quality problems for other customers
– If DG can generate reactive power, capacitor controls needs coordination with reactive generation

DG Transformer Connections
1. Ygnd : Ygnd interconnects HV and LV grounds. DG may need a neutral reactor to limit 1 phase to ground short circuit currents. DG may need 2/3 pitch winding to avoid large third harmonic votlages (which can cause third harmonic currents on HV and LV sides).
- No phase shift between primary and secondary voltage.

Generator voltage harmonics
• Windings are distributed and often short-pitched (or chorded):
– each coil spans a pitch of less than 2/p where p is the number of poles, to reduce the time harmonic voltage induced

Development of stator winding
![Page 19: Distributed Generation and Power Quality](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56815adc550346895dc8a9ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
One coil of the winding: conductors in top of slot 1 return in bottom of slot 7, coil pitch = pole pitch, so a full-pitch winding
![Page 20: Distributed Generation and Power Quality](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56815adc550346895dc8a9ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
One coil of the winding: conductors in top of slot 1 return in bottom of slot 6, coil pitch = 5/6 pole pitch, so a 5/6-pitch winding
![Page 21: Distributed Generation and Power Quality](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56815adc550346895dc8a9ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What’s so great about a 2/3-pitch coil anyway?
Third harmonic flux linking a full-pitch (blue), 5/6-pitch (green), and 2/3-pitch (red) coils.Notice that the flux linkage (net area enclosed) is zero at the 2/3-pitch coil.
![Page 22: Distributed Generation and Power Quality](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56815adc550346895dc8a9ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Third harmonics
• The third harmonic flux will not link a stator winding with a 2/3 pitch
• If third harmonic voltages are present, third harmonic circulating currents can be quite large if generator is solidly grounded

DG Transformer Connections
2. : Ygnd isolates LV ground from HV ground. DG may need 2/3 pitch winding to avoid third harmonic voltages, but third harmonic currents are contained on LV side. Some utility faults hard to detect due to phase shift.
