Abstract
The analysis of the short circuit should be understood very well in order to make correct designs in the power systems such as the safety of the personnel and the equipment, the selection of the safety relays, the circuit breaker selection and the selection of the appropriate conductor section. In this study, the parameters about the short circuit and the techniques of calculating the faults in system and the necessary theoretical knowledge for the short circuit fault to be understood better have been given. The effect on the distributed generation and the grid which is caused by the possible short circuit faults have been simulated by being modeled in PSS/Sincal and by using the real grid parameters with cogeneration power plant in Izmir, Turkey. The real short circuit fault results measured from the power plant and the grid and the results obtained from the software program have been compared and it has been determined that there is not a significant difference between them. Thus, it has been emphasized that it is correct to simulate before investing in a power system in for the purpose of restrain the faults during the designing and working before the application. It allows the designer to design new power plant as good as plan expansion of existing power plants with higher degree of precision. Considering the prices of protection equipment, which has a large part in system design, this way would allow designer to reduce the cost of the protective equipment and remaining stability.
