Abstract
Distributed Generation (DG) serves a customer on-site and it provides support to a distribution network. DG is connected at distribution level voltage. The resources used for DG are preferably renewable resources. DG may be used as a standby unit. It helps to improve the reliability of the distribution network. The reliability improvement will be maximum if DG unit is located optimally in the distribution network. Reliability improvements due to DG connection with the distribution network also depends on method of installation of disconnects at sections forming a junction in the distribution network. After penetration of DG, the passive distribution system becomes an active system. Therefore, it is essential for the planners to study the impact of DG on distribution system reliability. The aim of the paper is to study the effect of DG on reliability of distribution system.
