This paper highlights the importance of chronology on voltage protection and control apparatuses in studies of voltage security in active distribution networks with high generation capacity. This paper presents simulation results of a real-life example of a long rural distribution feeder having three voltage regulators in cascade, and a customer whose demand accounts for a large percentage of the total feeder load. The customer is also an independent power producer and its location at the far end of the feeder yields an intricate voltage protection coordination when the customer ramps up and down its own generation at the peak-demand period.
