Loss of Coordination
Sympathetic Trippings
Islanding
• “A condition in which a portion of the utility
system that contains both load and distributed
resources remains energized while isolated
from the remainder utility system” – IEEE Std.
100-2000
• Technical and legal concerns when Distributed
Generation supply abnormal voltage and
frequency to the utility customers
Overvoltages
Ferroresonance
Out of Synchronism
• Between automatic reclosing intervals, the
DGs may no longer be in synchronism with the
utility
• Closing in out of sync generator can result in
severe personal and equipment damage
Loss of Coordination
Sympathetic Trippings
Protection Example
