Title Of Article :
The Effects of Distributed Generation on System Power Losses
Abstract :
Electrical energy needs is increasing in Turkey and whole World day by day. So, many small plants have been established for energy needs. Therefore, power systems are becoming more complex but powerful. A part of distributed power is loosed in grid. Moreover power losses have increased parallel to the rising in electrical energy consumption. Electrical parameters must be within certain limits according to regulations. So, electric companies must renew the transformers and distribution lines to ensure the quality of electricity. This investment may be delayed by planning the power connection nodes. Today, this planning is done by using computer software easily. Trabzon Arsin organized industrial zone was chosen to see how power losses changing with different location of DG. The zone is modeled and simulated using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. The software analysis showed that active power losses are changed significantly
