A New Protection System for Islanding Detection in LV Distribution Systems

Fazio, Anna Rita Di; Russo, Mario; Valeri, Sara - In: Energies 8 (2015) 5, pp. 3775-3793

The growth of penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) is increasing the risk of unwanted islanded operation in Low Voltage (LV) distribution systems. In this scenario, the existing anti-islanding protection systems, installed at the DG premises and based on classical voltage and frequency...

Unlicensed Renewable Energy Generation: A Review of Regulation and Applications in the Context of Turkey

Gozen, Mustafa - In: International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy 5 (2015) 1, pp. 1-13

Turkey has stipulated that renewable energy sources (RES) will have at least 30% share in electricity generation by 2023. To reach this target, a renewable energy promotion law (Law No. 5346) was enacted in 2005 and later amended in 2011. Through Law No. 5346, Turkey has launched a feed-in...
