Distributed Generation in Electric Power Systems Renewable- Green/Sustainable Electric Power Systems
Contents: • What is Distributed Generation-DG? • Today's Dispersed/Distributed Utility • Vision for Distributed Generation (DG) • Technologies for DG • Tomorrow's Distributed-Utility • Some Utility Benefits of Using DG • Customer Benefits of DG • Safety/Isolation/Grounding
Today's Central Utility [2] Central Generation • Different types of Customers: • Industrial • Commercial • Residential
transition Vision for Distributed Generation (DG)[3] Traditional Electric System Traditional Electric System + Personalized Power through Distributed Generation (DG)
Tomorrow's Distributed Utility [2] Central Generation Wind Genset RemoteLoads Fuel Cell PV Battery Customer Efficiency Microturbine
Some Utility Benefits of Using DG [1],[2] • Maximum use of standby Generation capacity through safe parallel operation with the utility grid • Cost-effective solution consistent with least cost planning • Improved system load factor-LF • Enhanced voltage- stability and avoided line loss/Blackout during heavy-load • Dispatchable peak demand reduction • Improved customer Reliability
Customer Benefits of DG [1] • Electricity-Bill reduction • Reliability improvement • Power Quality (PQ) improvement • Utility-Customer partnerships • Alternative Generation • Green Renewable Electric Energy
Summary • The Distributed Generation-DG systems is defined. • The Vision for DG is introduced. • Traditional Generation system and New Distributed Generation are introduced. • Benefits of DG are introduced for both utility and customer. • Interconnection Requirements are introduced.
