The Influence of Grid-connected Distributed Generation on the Power Supply Reliability of Distribution Network

Abstract

Abstract This paper analyzes the typical distribution network structure and the operating characteristics of distributed generation (DG). By analyzing the impact of grid-connected DG on equipment such as reclosing and spare power automatic switching, we calculate the power supply reliability indexs after the DG is connected to the grid under various operation modes such as reclosing, spare power automatic switching, de-sequencing distributed energy and islanding. Finally, the results of the reliability indexs can provide the theory and data for planning and improving the operating mode of grid-connected DG.
