Abstract

Nowadays, Distributed Generation (DG) is one of the key solutions for reframing the centralized power system due to its numerous advantages over traditional ones. DG enhances the power quality, cost parameters, and utilization of renewable energy. Consequently, extensive application of such type of futuristic technology introduces various challenges like DG allocation, protection failure, violation of the power quality constraints, and intermittent nature of renewable energy. Referred to the abovementioned challenges, this paper presents a comprehensive assessment of emergent issues that arises with the amalgamation of DG in the centralized power grid.
