There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Impacts of Increasing Amounts of Distributed Generation on Transient Behavior of the Distribution System
Committee:
Dr. Harley, Advisor
Dr. Saeedifard, Chair
Dr. Habetler
Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to investigate the transient behavior of distribution feeders with high PV penetration levels and under different external conditions. The different external conditions include variable solar irradiance, different kinds of faults, sudden changes in type and amount of load, and changes in characteristics of the distribution system. In order to achieve the objective of the research, two actual feeder models that are located in the Northeast and Southeast parts of the United States are obtained from the National Electric Energy Testing, Research and Application Center (NEETRAC, Project No. 13-257).
