The faults in a power distribution system do not only impact to power outage directly. They also cause voltage sag problem spread over the system. A single-line to ground fault is about 70% of the overhead system faults. The magnitude and duration of voltage sag causes the economic damage of the system. This paper presents an analysis of the different systems grounding to mitigate the voltage sag in a power distribution system by using the technical analysis system in case of one phase to ground fault. The objective is to minimize voltage drop for users using the simulation with single line to ground fault in distribution system voltage level at 22 kV PEA’s test system by the computer program. The results show that the grounding method can mitigate the voltage sag and reduce the damage of the economic system.

This research presents an Analysis of Voltage Sags on the Installation of Distributed Generation in the Distribution System. The computer program PSCAD/EMTDC (Power Systems Computer Aided Design / Electromagnetic Transient in DC system) version 4.2 is applied to provide electrical parameters for the modeling and simulation and to analyze the fault occurred which resulted in voltage sag. Test results from PSCAD/EMTDC show the values of voltage sag when 5 types of fault are occurred (Single Line to Ground Fault Double Line to Ground Fault Three Phase to Ground Fault Line to Line Fault and Three Phase Fault). For all cases the value of root mean square voltage before fault is 100% or 1.0 pu. It can be seen that for both radial line and closed circuit when DG are installed in the system the value of phase to ground RMS residual voltage and phase to phase RMS residual voltage at the bus of Bang-pa-in 2 substation are more than the values in case of the system without DG.

This thesis presents an assessment of voltage sags when faults are happened in the 115 kV transmission line of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) when distributed generation (DG) is installed in the system. The computer program PSCAD/EMTDC (Power Systems Computer Aided Design / Electromagnetic Transient in DC system) version 4.2 is applied to provide electrical parameters for the modeling and simulation and to analyze the fault occurred which resulted in voltage sag.

The fault in a power distribution system disturbs the power dispatch under normal conditions therefore decreases the quality of the electric power. The single line to ground fault is an asymmetric fault that may have a high percentage chance to happen. The kind of fault changes power and voltage dramatically. The size of the phase voltage decreases which affect the economic damage of the system. This paper presents an analysis of grounding systems to reduce voltage drop in a power distribution system by using the technical analysis system in case of one phase to ground fault. The objective is to minimize voltage drop for users using the simulation with single line to ground fault in distribution system voltage level at 22 kV PEA’s test system. The simulation utilizes the EMTDC-PSCAD program. The results show that the grounding method can reduce the voltage drop and reduce the damage of the economic system

This thesis presents improving power quality in power distribution system with integration of photovoltaic energy distributed generation having objectives to improve power quality in distribution system model of voltage sag and voltage swell in distribution system model of power loss in distribution system application of mathematical model model of power generation by using solar energy and distributed generation connection technique simulation. In this thesis the power flow was tested with Newton-Raphson algorithm joining with mathematical model. The case study was done by reduction of power loss in distribution system by using techniques of connection of distributed generation joining with model of distribution system 33 bus. The case study about improvement of voltage sag and voltage swell in distribution system used connection techniques of distributed generation joining with model of distribution system 69 bus. The study found that technique of connection of distributed generation that was presented could reduce power loss and showed the percentage of improvement of voltage sag and voltage swell in distribution system especially voltage sag case according to IEEE 1159-1995 standard. This thesis showed that severity level of voltage sag depended on the size and duration of each distribution system model situation by photovoltaic energy distributed generation can reduce voltage sag.
