VOLTAGE DYNAMICS IN A DECENTRALIZED POWER LANDSCAPE: ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION ON DISTRIBUTION NETWORK PROFILE

Аннотация

With the increasing integration of distributed generation (DG) resources in distribution networks, the voltage profile of these networks has become a critical aspect to be considered. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the effect of distributed generation on the voltage dynamics and profile of a distribution network. Various scenarios with different penetration levels and types of DG resources are simulated using advanced power system analysis tools. The voltage deviations and fluctuations caused by DG units are quantified, and the potential challenges and opportunities for voltage control are discussed. The study highlights the need for appropriate coordination and control strategies to ensure reliable and stable operation of distribution networks in the presence of distributed generation.
