Self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is widely used in micro hydropower plants. Generally, in Indonesia, the plant is
integrated with a secondary distribution line and acts as a distributed generation (DG). If the distribution line is disconnected from the
grid (loss-of-mains, LoM) then the plant must be immediately isolated before the distribution network contact equipment closes back in
an out-of-synchronous mode. Voltage relays and frequency relays are commonly used to detect the occurrence of LoM on plants using
SEIG. However, those relays are unable to detect all of the LoM events. This paper describes the excitation capacitor sizing strategy so
that the direction of the reactive power flow changes in the event of a LoM. The change of direction of reactive power flow is used as an
indicator of the occurrence of LoM. Detection of the direction of reactive power flow is done by manipulating the multiplication of
instantaneous voltage and current. The result of excitation capacitor determination and LoM detection method was simulated using
SIMULINK-Matlab. The simulation results show that the proposed method can detect LoM which cannot be detected either by voltage
relays or frequency relays. The disadvantage of this method is not being able to detect the LoM if the load and the power grid are
capacitive. However, it is almost certain that the load and the distribution network are always inductive. The results of this study can be
used as a direction for the application of LoM protection on SEIG.
