Abstract. One of the most important challenges of DG, specifying the optimal location and impedance for
distributed generation (DG) development in distribution systems fault current limiter fails [6].
is their protection. It is necessary to have a scheme for keeping This paper aims to address the adverse impacts of the
the protection settings unchanged. In this paper, adverse impacts inverter based DGs on distribution system protection, and
of the inverter based distributed generation (IBDG) are propose a scheme to solve them. Therefore, the purpose of
evaluated, and an algorithm is proposed to limit the fault current, this paper is to develop a novel approach to control the
feed, which is generated by IBDGs. This algorithm is only inverter for limiting fault current.
implemented on the inverter controller and other elements are
not used in fault current limitation. The simulation results are
provided to verify the proposed control scheme. 2. Effects of DG on Distribution Networks
