Every power system is armed with its own protection system to protect it from most types of faults. Coordination is maintained between the various protective gears to avoid failure of the protection system. This coordination gets disturbed when a Renewable energy based Distributed Generation is integrated into the distribution system. A number of issues come up, which does not allow the normal protection system to function properly. Many researchers have been presented solutions to overcome these issues. The present work attempts to bring out the impact of these issues on the protection coordination and the possible solutions proposed by various researchers to overcome these problems. The present work will help the potential researchers with a list of protection issues due to impact of DG / microgrid integration & their possible solutions and help them to further their research for more efficient and better protection system.
