On this section some proposals for future work are presented:

This work focused only in three-phase faults which are the most severe. The study of the influence of asymmetrical faults on the protection system of a Medium Voltage network, with Distributed Generation connected to it, could be of interest. These types of faults can also be simulated in the RTDS Simulator.

Nowadays it is required for wind plants to have the fault ride-trough capability. Thus, it could be interesting to study the behavior of a Medium Voltage network protection system when there is a wind plant with that capability. The validation of the protection problems detected in that study could then be made.

The coordination between the protection system of a distribution network and the protection system at the point of interconnection of the Distributed Generation with the network was only theoretically analyzed. Thus, the validation of their coordination could constitute a future work, as well a study of possible solutions for the problems detected.

The proposed adaptive protection scheme could be used in a bigger and more complex network. Defining the control of the Smart Substation Controller for other protective relays at a different substation could be more challenging.
