Abstract
This paper discusses distributed generation (DG) in electric power systems. Various popular DG technologies that are currently used are also described, along with brief explanations of their working principles. It has been acknowledged that the integration of DG with renewable energy sources in power systems is increasing and will grow further. The main reason for this growth is the rising cost and environmental concerns of non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels). Furthermore, DG offers some advantages, such as reducing power losses in transmission and distribution lines and improving power supply security. However, the increasing DG penetration brings technical implications for the power system to which the DG is connected. These critical issues are also highlighted in the present paper.
期刊介绍：
WSEAS Transactions on Power Systems publishes original research papers relating to electric power and energy. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with generation, transmission & distribution planning, alternative energy systems, power market, switching and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
