IMPACTS OF POWER SYSTEM-TIED DISTRIBUTED GENERATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PROTECTION SYSTEMS. by Terver Maor A thesis Submitted in Partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Department of Electrical Engineering Hassan El-Kishky, Ph.D., P.E. Committee Chair College of Engineering The University of Texas at Tyler December 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Hassan El-Kishky for his unwavering support, encouragement and guidance during this long but worthy research to satisfy the condition for my degree. I am particularly indebted to your patience in accommodating my work schedule and part-time research into your tight multiple responsibilities that range from administration, teaching, researching etc. I hope that you will continue to support me even after this stage as I embark on my independent research activities. I also wish to extend my gratitude to my thesis committee members, Dr. David Beams and Dr. Mukul Shirvaikar for accepting to serve on the committee on such a short notice. I am greatly appreciative of your kind guidance, diligent and constructive criticism of my thesis work. Your kind and patient directives helped me view several concepts from different perspectives. May your work continue to be of more help to other students under your guidance.
