Distributed generation (DG) is the future of energy. This technology allows the bidirectional flow of power within an electrical network. Researchers are faced with many challenges to the accurate implementation of protection schemes for DG-connected distribution network. The schemes designed must satisfy the performance requirements of selectivity, reliability, and sensitivity. Most researchers opine that conventional protection schemes based on over current detection are insufficient to completely and accurately protect a DG-connected distributed power system. There are many challenges that need to be tackled before embarking upon the journey to successfully implement these schemes. This paper summarizes the major challenges which one can encounter while designing protection schemes for DG-connected distribution networks. Some possible solutions from the literature are also mentioned. Moreover, a suggested solution for protecting future active distribution networks is provided. It is expected that this paper will act as a benchmark for future researchers in this field to tackle the challenges related to the protection of active distribution networks.

“…Several simulation programs such as DIgSILENT and PSCAD are simulation programs that are widely used in research. Previous research [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] had used PSCAD software and [21][22][23][24][25][26] DIgSILENT Power Factory is used to record data handling, to build modelling capabilities and minimizing project execution costs and training. So, DIgSILENT is one of the simulation program which helpful for power flow analysis, wind power, industrial grids and distributed generation in terms of application of new technologies.…”

“…On the other hand, the problem of fault detection in the electric power distribution system also forces some researcher to improve methods in order to increase the accuracy of fault detection. Some methods such as impedance-based [1][2], matching approaches [3][4][5][6], travelling waves [7][8][9][10][11], Arduino technology and optimization [12][13] have become developed and increased the level accuracy of fault localization. Due to so many fault location methods have improved, some of paper literature review also helps to classify the fault location method, such as in paper [16][17][18][19].…”

This paper presents the comparative study between PSCAD and DIgSILENT in order to detect fault location on underground distribution network. If a fault occurs in the distribution network, it will generate the voltage dips and over current. It is possible to record the signal output in the primary substation. However, for the research purpose, some of the researcher may use different simulation program. The simulation program may have different performance to generate voltage and current signal when fault simulated. So, it is important to observe the performance of each simulation software. Due to every simulation software may have different advantages, this paper will observe the accuracy of fault distance calculation based on simulation data on the distribution model and when all types of fault are applied to the different simulation program, namely PSCAD and DIgSilent. The matching approach was adopted to calculate the fault distance. To observe the performance of the simulation program, the distance error calculation for every type of fault are compared. By using a matching approach, the PSCAD simulation program produces more accurate fault distance compare with DIgSILENT. However, it may contribute different result if different method and tested network applied.

“…In Ref. [12][13][14], the characters of the voltage sags in case of a fault were studied, i.e., voltage sags propagated presenting different magnitudes and phase angles on feeder node. The pre-and during-fault current and voltage data were used for the algorithm, and the fault location was achieved by matching during-fault voltage sags magnitude and phase angle.…”
