Investigations on Combined Operation of Industrial Distribution System and utility in Distributed Generation Environment

The deregulation regime has given lot of scope for independent power producers to feed power to the utility nearest to the load center. This feature provides opportunities for lot of improvements in distribution system operation. In this paper investigations have been done for integrated operation of the practical MRPL industrial distribution plant having its own captive generation to act as distributed generation source serving neighboring utility loads. The performance of the system is simulated in both cases of industry acting as source and sink depending on the load cycle. The simulation results will serve as useful tool for decision making in power trading during ABT regime.
