The Impact of Synchronous Distributed Generation (DG) on Distribution System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Interconnection of Distributed Generation (DG) in distribution system presents many potential benefits as well as drawbacks. The impacts of DG might vary with the types of generator. This paper presents a study on the impacts of synchronous DG's interconnection in distribution system. Steady state analysis is carried out to analyze the impact of DG on voltage profile and short circuit current considering before and after DG interconnection. Dynamic analysis is also performed for investigating the performance of DG when a part of distribution system is being islanded. Results show that the penetration of DG contributes to the changes of power flow in the system, hence give impacts to the overall system performance.
