The electrical distribution system (EDS) has undergone major changes in the last decade due to increasing integration of distributed generation (DG), particularly renewable energy DG. Since resources have uncertain generation, storage systems (ESSs) EDS can reduce impact those uncertainties. Besides, electric vehicles (EVs) been recent years leveraged by environmental concerns, bringing new cha...

When connected in small amounts, the impact of distributed generation (DG) on distribution system stability will be negligible. However, if its penetration level becomes higher, distributed generation may start to influence the dynamic behavior of the system as a whole. This paper presents a mathematical representation of a solid oxide fuel cell plant that is suitable for use in distribution sy...

Current restructuring of the electric utility industry has aroused vast interest in emerging distributed generation (DG) technologies. Some of the most obvious benefits of DG include, but are not limited to the following [1]: a) Emergency backup during sustained utility outages, b) Value of energy savings through peak shaving, and other ratereducing means, c) Reduced voltage sags, c) Increased ...

Penetrating Embedded Generation, or Distributed Generation (DG), in power distribution grids presents great benefits and substantial positive social impacts to utilities, system operators and electricity consumers. Existing research and practices on DG penetration planning have a few deficiencies: (1) limited to specific system configurations and capacities; (2) inaccurate and tending to lose i...

Distributed generation (DG) improves the reliability of system by providing a means alternate power supply to load points. DG is integrated meet along with utility. In this work roy billinton test (RBTS) bus 4 considered for evaluating effect integration on reliability. Reliability evaluated using failure modes and analysis (FMEA) technique results are validated Monte Carlo simulation technique...

Background Energy policies are promoting distributed energy resources such as energy efficiency, distributed generation (DG), energy storage devices, and renewable energy resources (RES), increasing the number of DG installations and especially variable output (only partly controllable) sources like wind power, solar, small hydro and combined heat and power. Intermittent generation like wind ca...

Currently, the electric industry is undergoing a complete transformation and restructuring due to the concurrent convergence of deregulation and the advent of Distributed Generation (DG). Some years ago, electricity was produced in some big power plants and a few vertically integrated electric utilities covered all the steps in the electricity supply: generation, transmission, distribution and ...

The capacity of renewable distributed generation (DG) connected in distribution networks is increasing. Use power electronic interfaces means DG can inject harmonic currents through the point common coupling into upstream networks. limits stipulated emission standards may create challenges for accommodating DG. To explore impact regulations on ability to host DG, this work incorporates voltage ...

This work aims to address the problem of fault location in a medium voltage distribution system presence Distributed Generation (DG), applying artificial intelligence. The chosen method is learning-based through Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). methodology consisted simulating three-phase faults via PSCAD/EMTDC software, pre-processing (normalization and formatting training test sets), empiri...

The presence of a significant distributed generation (DG) capacity in distribution networks would result in some conflicts with present system operation criteria, mainly because, unlike the meshed transmission system, the distribution system is usually designed as a “passive” radial system, which is conceived with neither generators operating in parallel nor power flow control. The present pape...
