Abstract

With increasing population and urbanization, the demand of electricity also increases day by day; to fulfill this demand, clean and environment-friendly distributed generations are being installed, but these have some issues in power section. With the integration of DG load curve is levelized, feeder voltage is improved; loading effect on the transformer and branches is reduced, and provides electricity with no pollution. This chapter investigates impacts of DGs to the power system; distributed generation means to generate electric power near the power consumption point. Power quality and reliability can be enhanced by the interconnection of distribution generation to an existing distribution system. However, there are so many effects of distributed generation e.g. changing of load losses, increasing of short circuit levels, voltage transient, congestions in the system branches, power quality, and reliability and network protection issues such as false tripping, nuisance tripping, unintentional islanding, neutral shifting is mainly affected.
