With the advent of deregulation, distributed generation will play an increasing role in electric distribution systems. Various new types of Distributed Generation (DG), such as micro-turbines and fuel cells, are now being developed in addition to the more traditional solar and wind power. A common belief among developers is that DR will improve power quality, and this potential for better quali...

Distributed generator (DG) is widely used and applied due to the energy environment issues. photovoltaic generation a typical kind of DG. Its output power random fluctuant, which has great influence on safe, stable economic operation system. Thus it necessary identify generated by distributed generation. This paper proposes identification method based BP Neural Network. The sample data comes fr...

Recent increment in carbon emission due to the dependency on fossil fuels in power generation sector is a critical issue in the last decade. The motivation to Distributed Generation (DG) in order to catch low carbon networks is rising. This research seeks to experience DG existence in local energy servicing in microgrid structure. Optimal sizing and placement of DG units is followed by this pap...

The recent trends in electrical power distribution system operation and management are aimed at improving system conditions in order to render good service to the customer. The reforms in distribution sector have given major scope for employment of distributed generation (DG) resources which will boost the system performance. This paper proposes a heuristic technique for allocation of distribut...

Generally during recent decades due to development of power systems, the methods for delivering electrical energy to consumers, and because of voltage variations is a very important problem ,the power plants follow this criteria. The good solution for improving transfer and distribution of electrical power the majority of consumers prefer to use energy near the loads .So small units that are co...

Article history: Received: 22.10.2013 Received in revised form: 4.12.2013 Accepted: 6.12.2013 Reliability assessment is of primary importance in designing and planning distribution systems that operate in an economical manner with minimal interruption of customer loads. Distributed generation (DG) units are subject to failures as all other generation units, the random behavior of these units mu...
