An Ethernet LAN based distributed generation system load shedding strategy

This paper firstly analyzes and compares various communication technologies, and proposes a communication system for a distributed generation system (DGS) with wind turbines. Then the paper presents a novel simulation method of considering the interactions between the communication system and power system, by using two software platforms: OPNET and EMTDC/PSCAD. A control method based on the communication technique has been designed to stabilize the DG system during power system disturbances. A case study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed communication system, simulation method and control strategy.
