“…The main requirement of a distribution network is to transfer power from one end to the other. However, the impedance of the distribution lines hinders the perfect delivery of the power (active and reactive) to the receiving end, as illustrated in Figure 1 (Benysek, 2007). Therefore, the expected sending end bus active power (Psr) and reactive power (Qsr) transferred to the receiving end bus are expressed in equations ( 1) and (2).…”

Purpose: This article provides available information on the role of distributed generation (DG) in the performance of a power distribution network. Design/methodology/approach: The study reviewed articles about available methods for reducing technical losses in electrical distribution networks. The second step involved studying various researchers' views on renewable energy in some developing countries for introducing DG into a distribution network. The influence of DG on the economic performance of a distribution network. Finally, the study scouted for available information on the implementation of a demand response (DR) program on the performance of a distribution network in the presence of DG. Findings: Available information reveals that the reliability of DG for reducing the technical losses in a distribution network is higher than relying on alternating current controllers. There are indications of renewable energies in developing countries for introducing DG into a distribution network. According to the articles reviewed, the approach for the optimal location of DG did not include the combination of the voltage stability index and power loss reduction index. It is also worth considering using the power system analysis toolbox (PSAT) for DG sitting. The economic influence of DG on a distribution network's performance has not been evaluated based on the technical loss, generation cost, emission cost and reliability. It is also worth considering the benefits of demand response programs in the presence of DG. Research limitation: The review concentrated mainly on DG's influence in reducing technical loss. Articles relating to the effect of DG on other distribution network technical issues such as voltage stability, harmonics etc. also require attention Practical implications: Distribution network performance is essential for the operation of electrical gadgets. Therefore, improved distribution network performance will result in the economic development of a country. Originality/Value: This paper provides the platform that stimulates interest in using DG to improve the distribution network performance.
