Abstract

This paper discusses distributed generation (DG) in electric power systems. Various popular DG technologies that are currently used are also described, along with brief explanations of their working principles. It has been acknowledged that the integration of DG with renewable energy sources in power systems is increasing and will grow further. The main reason for this growth is the rising cost and environmental concerns of non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels). Furthermore, DG offers some advantages, such as reducing power losses in transmission and distribution lines and improving power supply security. However, the increasing DG penetration brings technical implications for the power system to which the DG is connected. These critical issues are also highlighted in the present paper.
