Title :
Modeling the reliability impact of distributed generation
Author :
Brown, Richard E.
Abstract :
This paper presents reliability modeling techniques for distributed generation (DG) on distribution systems. It discusses backup applications, peak shaving applications and net metering applications and applies them to both radial and network models. These models are applied to a utility test system and results are discussed.
