Based on Load Maximum Capacity of Distributed Generation unit in Radial Power System

Abstract

Due to technology improvement, energy market liberalization and environmental issues it has been witnessed an increasing allocation of distributed generation (DG) in the distribution networks. Every year, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) receive several requests for installations of new generators in the existing networks. This situation is likely to imply a revolution in the distribution networks. The basic aim behind this is to maintain a sufficient level of system stability and instantaneous operation of power system by including the participation of energy and service. In this paper it has been analyzed how DSM policies can be a valid opportunity to facilitate the development of DG in a given distribution system and which economical benefits the utilities can derive by the complementary employ of both these distributed resources. Simulation studies have been performed on a real distribution networks, showing the effect of DSM action on the growth of DG in the distribution system and on the technical and economic benefits, they permit to realize.
