A review on impact of distributed generation penetration in deregulated electricity market having renewable energy sources in India

Abstract

Nowadays it is seen that, distributed generation (DG) system based on conventional energy sources and renewable energy sources (RESs), specially using solar energy, is playing an important role to match load demand across India. Energy policies are promoting renewable energy resources and in the coming time to increase the energy efficiency, DGs installation and RESs scheme will play a vital role. It can be observed that India’s load rate is increasing rapidly day by day. Unplanned management made without planning can adversely affect the grid and put a serious load demand on the power grid. Distributed generation systems can be very useful to avoid such problems, especially if we use renewable energy. In this paper, we have mentioned about how we can manage the load demand and how to meet the power supply of the people using the distributed generation. In this review, strength, stability and reliability of distributed generation (DG) system is discussed with different aspects including different scenarios. This analysis shows a major action on the power system planning and working of the grid system. Recent works are included in this review. Different steps have also been taken for the integration of DGs with various scenarios in electric power systems. The main objective of this review is, how to achieve better integration of flexible demand and demand response, so that demand side Management (DSM) with the help of distributed generation can be fulfilled and create grid proficiency. Different challenge in DG system has also been mention in this research.
