The effects of various distributed generating types on the smart grid have been demonstrated using transient stability study and steady state voltage analysis

Abstract

Renewable energy and smart grid technologies are crucial in the modern era due to climate change and the need for secure energy sources. To address concerns regarding energy security, efficiency and aging energy infrastructure, it is necessary to move away from centralized power generation and embrace decentralized distributed generation and smart grid technologies. This transformation will meet the increasing demand for electricity, improve the quality of service, and reduce pollution. However, there are technical challenges to overcome, such as maintaining system stability when incorporating distributed generation into the smart grid. This research focuses on evaluating the impact of distributed generation on the smart grid, especially the system stability after integrating distributed generation. System stability was evaluated and confirmed using Dig-SILENT Power Factory V 13.2 software, which simulates connection issues and failures.
