-Apart from the positive technical consequences like reducing losses, the increasing penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) units connected to the distribution network, has lead to the increase of the short-circuit (sc) currents and the fault level. Therefore it is important to know the contribution of each unit. This paper presents the available analytical equations to calculate the short-circuit current, and makes a comparison between the IEC 60909 and the results obtained by the simulations in a test network that incorporates these units.

Major power system disturbances and outages have a significant economic and social impact and the security of supply becomes a more and more important issue. Hence outage times should be as short as possible. Smart grid technologies such as self-healing networks can help in reducing the outage times after a disturbance. In this paper the principle and implementation of a self-healing grid for cable networks is discussed. Both technical and organizational issues will be addresses.
