Description
This paper presents the technical impacts of distributed generation in the distribution network in order to reduce the voltage drops. Input data, including the lengths, power factory, active and reactive load in each busbar of 10 kV distribution line is used to create the network model using a digital simulation and electrical network calculation. With the connection of distributed generators in the network, the need for investments in the distribution network infrastructure is reduced. When they are optimally located, the power losses and voltage drops within the distribution network are reduced and the reliability of the power supply stability is achieved. The model is used to analyze voltage drops in the last busbar of 10 kV line in the distribution network. The results show that, with the sufficient capacity of the installed distributed generator, the voltage drops in the last point of 10 kV line are reduced. It is seen that the distributed generation has a significant impact on reducing the voltage drops and are also successful in eliminating the bottlenecks, specifically to reduce the power losses and stabilize the electricity supply.
