Abstract:

This paper compares the two voltage based techniques of detecting fault on the inverter based distribution lines. The system comprises of power width modulated inverter feeding distribution network. Fast detection of fault is prime requirement in an electric power system. A protection system is developed based on voltage transformations. Studies are carried out in MATLAB software package. The studies reveal that both the techniques lead to protection of system against shunt faults and could be viable option for future inverter based distribution network.
