“Centralized And Decentralized Distributed Power generation In Today’s Scenario”

Abstract

This paper is an analysis of a rural distribution network to examine what are the benefits of centralized and decentralized generation. Decentralized or distributed power generation (DG) play an increasing role in the liberalized electricity market. Decentralized generation can have a significant impact on the power flow, voltage, profile, voltage stability and get better power quality for both the customers and electricity suppliers. We use load flow analysis to simulate the line condition of different feeders connected in rural area. In this paper, models of distribution system with considerable distributed power generation are discussed to improve the power quality and voltage stability and also present a framework for valuing ancillary service from the generator Vi2, reactive power this provide an improved plan and better utilities for the developing countries to get their system to meet dispersed load while optimizing for renewable and other decentralized source. Keywords -Distributed power generation, Network Modeling, Load flow analysis, Voltage profile and distribution losses.
