DMS - BASIS FOR INCREASING OF GREEN DISTRIBUTED GENERATION PENETRATION IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Abstract

Modern (electric power) distribution utilities are faced with high penetration of istributed (electric) generation. Renewable generation is of prime interest. Within this eneration, the green one incorporating solar (photovoltaic) and wind generation is he most important. Consequently, the following two imperatives are established in odern distribution utilities: 1) absorption of as much of available (connected to etwork) green generation as possible and 2) increasing of the limit of green istributed generation penetration. This generation is a significant basis of Smart istribution Grid Concept. Distributed generation transfers passive distribution etwork into active one. The active distribution network analysis, control, operation anagement and planning become significantly complex. This complexity radically inders the achievement of two above stated imperatives referring to the distributed eneration penetration. This paper proves that Distribution Management System is a nique powerful system that integrates all tools necessary for surpassing main ifficulties in the achievement of the both imperatives. The proof is obtained by the laboration of a set of power applications (mathematical calculations) integrated in he Distribution Management System. The most important power applications, which eal with voltage / reactive power control, are specially stressed.
