Abstract:

Market and electricity companies are interested to reduce costs by increasing penetration level of DG's in utility systems with best integration and developing measurements. Mesh and Radialdistribution systems have different structures which change the capability of the network to support the level penetration of Distribution Generation (DG). The capability of the classical network to support the level penetration of Distribution Generation (DG) could be changed according different structures of distribution systems (Mesh and Radial systems). An overview of impact of DG on these different structures with different voltage levels is presented with respect to different issues like power losses, voltage profile, protection, reconfiguration, load balance,reliability, planning and cost. Review of recent researches on these subjects has been present to analysis how to achieve a better integration of flexible demand with Distributed Generation. This would lead to an increase of the use of Distributed Generation and a decrease of problems caused by intermittent distributed generation in electricity systems and at the electricity market. Based on this analysis, weemphasized thatdistribution topologieshave different impact depending on size and type of DG as well as penetration level of it.
