Reliability of power grids with integrated distributed generation sources

Abstract

This article examines the reliability issues arising from the integration of distributed generation sources into electric power grids, as well as the technical challenges and solutions to address them. It highlights the potential technical and operational issues associated with the connection of distributed generation sources to the grid and explores alternative approaches to resolve them. Although the widespread use of distributed generation in recent years has had a positive impact on the reliability of power systems, it has also introduced new challenges. The findings of this study contribute to the formulation of practical recommendations aimed at enhancing the reliability of power systems, enabling the efficient integration of distributed generation sources, and mitigating technical and economic risks. The work holds both theoretical and practical significance, offering valuable insights and guidance for professionals and stakeholders in the electric power industry.
