Integration of Distributed Generation into Power Networks

The generation of power from Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing day by day as this technology is not only becoming cheaper relative to other resources but is also environmentally friendly. However, DG can also have an adverse impact on operation of the existing power network. For example, issues related to power system (PS) stability, power quality and protection coordination can occur due to connection of DG to the grid. The project will focus on the impact of DG (base d on different power generation resources-conventional, wind, an d solar, etc) on voltage profile, s ability and protection coordination of a conventional power network.
