There are advantages of installing distributed generation (DG) in distribution systems: for example, improving reliability, mitigating voltage sags, unloading subtransmission and transmission system, and sometimes utilizing renewables. All of these factors have resulted in an increase in the use of DGs. However, the increase of fault currents in power systems is a consequence of the appearance of new generation sources. Some operating and planning limitations may be imposed by the resulting fault currents. This paper discusses a model of inverter based DGs which can be used to analyze the dynamic performance of power systems in the presence of DGs. In a style similar to protective relaying analysis, three-dimensional plots are used to depict the behavior of system reactance (X) and resistance (R) versus time. These plots depict operating parameters in relation to zones of protection, and this information is useful for the coordination of protection systems in the presence of DG
