Abstract :
This paper is an intent to quantify and analyze the impact of distributed generation(DG) in Tamil Nadu, India to examine what the benefits of decentralized generation would be for meeting rural loads. In this paper, the total loss of a practical distribution system is calculated with and without distributed generation and an index, quantifying the total line loss reduction and energy conservation is proposed. Simulation tests have been carried out on a practical distribution system and the proposed index is evaluated for various ratings, locations of distributed generation.
