Distributed Generation is the generation of electricity from many small energy sources and is located closer to the user, or customer. The purpose of using distributed generation is to improve voltage profile, voltage stability and to minimize power losses. This paper presents an overview of research and development work carried out in the field of Distributed Generation. This paper also discusses...
In the year 2007, South Africa experienced high demands of electricity power than that could have been generated. Due to greater demand than the generation, the country experienced planned and unplanned load shedding. Hence the commercial operations, industrialization country's economy and mostly people's life styles were highly affected. The unplanned load growth, indiscriminate integration of distributed...
It is known that the increasing penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) implies different technical problems in the operation of distribution systems. This paper focuses the electrical Power Quality (PQ) aspects. DG can be responsible for different PQ problems, like poor voltage quality, unwanted protection trips on healthy feeders, and “islanding”. Voltage quality, in particular, can become a...
The connection of distributed generation, mainly at the lower voltage levels, is transforming the legacy network. The evolution of the network has to overcome the problems associated with the integration of distributed generation. These problems include the management of the network's voltage, reactive and active power flows, fault current, power quality, and frequency and voltage stability issues...
This paper presents the effect of distributed generation (DG) in voltage variation and losses on very long distribution line with multiple voltage regulator. This paper considers the operation of DG effected voltage along distribution and power loss when varying load. From this study the operation of DG has effected to voltage along the very long distribution line depended on load varying and location...
Distributed generation (DG) is finding its way into the worldwide distribution networks very rapidly. As the existing networks were not created for this new structure of electricity production, the preservation of a reliable network operation and a high level of power quality is a big challenge for all network operators. In a study conducted by the University of Erlangen and the Erlanger Stadtwerke...
