Abstract :
The electrical power production from dispersed energy sources or distributed generation (DG) is playing an increasing role in the supply of electricity in the liberalized electricity markets. DG can have a significant impact on the power flow, voltage profile, stability and the power quality for both customers and electricity suppliers. In this paper, the influences of different DG technologies on the voltage stability under disturbances, power quality problem, and protection aspects are studied under different load conditions.
