Abstract

Power system quality is a vital issue for electricity companies and consumers of low and medium voltage. So as to decrease the generation power from fossil fuel, it is important to depend on the renewable energy sources which consider as low running cost and low environmental aspects as compared with the traditional power generation. Distributed generation (DG) unit can be defined as a small-scale unit that generates the electric power near the location of customers based on renewable energy sources, including wind energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy. Interconnecting DG with the utility grid can contribute by different advantages to the owner, utility, and the final user. DG gives an improved power quality and higher dependability of the distribution system. In any case, the integration of DG with the existing power system has associated several technical, economic, and regulatory questions. This study discusses the effect of using the DGs with the power system focuses on wind power generation for voltage control and power losses reduction. The simulation analysis in this context has been validated with IEEE-12 Busbars distribution power system as an example to shows the voltage control and power losses reduction. The highlight points from this study to advice and recommends the power system designer to consider the wind DGs with the distribution network for enhancing the power system quality.
