2) Maximum allowable DG
There is a maximum IBDG in corresponding to a specific
SBDG for installing in the tested system in order to satisfy the
system operating limits constraints. Table II lists such 11 pairs
of (SBDG, IBDG). The total maximum size ranges from 1.8
MW to 2.3 MW. If the IBDG is large in power, e.g., 2 MW,
the corresponding maximum SBDG will be small in power,
i.e., 0.3 MW, and vice versa.
The maximization algorithm starts with a random selection
of DG capacity (PSBDG = 0.1 MW, PIBDG = 0.2 MW) as an
initial point. From this point, a neighborhood is created by
varying the discrete capacity of each DG. In this case study,
DG capacity is varied discretely with the step 0.1 MW. So, if
the radius is chosen as R = 3, the furthest neighborhood is
(30.1 = 0.3 MW) far from the standing point. For instance, in
Figure 12, there are 12 neighborhoods generated from the
standing point (PSBDG = 0.1 MW, PIBDG = 0.2 MW). Whenever
a move is selected, the point at the opposite direction (the
previous point) will be added in the Tabu list.
In order to determine the maximum allowable DG, all
types of fault (three-phase, single line-to-ground, double lineto-ground, and line-to-line faults) are sequentially applied to
each bus in the system (from Bus 1 to Bus 34) for each
checking point (PSBDG, PIBDG) as the algorithm illustrated in
Figure 7. The new fault current calculation in Figure 6 is
applied to calculate fault current for checking the operation of
the utility relay. At each iteration, a best neighborhood is
selected from a standing point. Figure 13 illustrates a trace
through 7 best neighborhoods from the standing point (PSBDG =
0.1 MW, PIBDG = 0.2 MW) after 7 first iterations. The
optimum (PSBDG = 0.3 MW, PIBDG = 2 MW) is reached from
the initial point (PSBDG = 0.1 MW, PIBDG = 0.2 MW) after next
10 iterations because there are no more updates. The final
result shows that the maximum allowable DG is 2.3 MW at
which (PSBDGmax = 0.3 MW, PIBDGmax = 2 MW). According to
Table II, although the pair (PSBDG = 0.5 MW, PIBDG = 1.8 MW)
has the sum of 2.3 MW, it is not the maximum allowable DG.
The reason is that the reach reduction constraint is not satisfied

Figure 13. A path from the initial point to the optimum point
at this point. That is, the utility relay cannot sense a single
line-to-ground fault at Bus 34 with both phase and ground
overcurrent functions.
It should be noted that the maximum allowable DG is
found as a sum of all DG capacities. However, the proposed
algorithm in this paper can identify exactly the allowable
capacity for each DG.

VII. CONCLUSION
An algorithm has been proposed to determine the
maximum allowable size of DGs including SBDG and IBDG
for their installations into the utility system.
DG installation presents impacts on the utility system:
SBDG causes the prominent reach reduction for the utility
overcurrent relay, causing a part of the feeder to become
unprotected; whereas, IBDG has remarkable effects on utility
relay reach reduction. The occurrence of IBDG brings about
the necessary of a new fault calculation technique which is
compatible with the IBDG model as a constant current source.
The maximum installation capacity of DG obtained from
the proposed algorithm assures the capability of detecting
faults for the utility relay under the impacts DGs on fault
current considering the fault ride through requirement. The
system operating parameters are set in constraints so that these
parameters must be maintained inside the limited ranges
during the normal operation of the system with the identified
maximum installed DG.
