Abstract

Distributed Generation are widely used in utility industries due to not produce greenhouse gasses, less electricity loss, improves grid security and lower utility bills. Photovoltaic panels, wind turbines and flywheels are the example of distributed generation. Distributed Generation can be transmit on grid or off grid but in this research it mainly focused on the on grid transmission. Unfortunately, Distributed generation has small capacity rather than conventional generation but it really useful to support the generation in rural area that far from the generator to reduce power losses. Every distributed generation has different parameters such as reactance due to different actuators used that surely produce reactive power to the consumer. There are 3 types of electrical powers that is real power, reactive power and apparent power. All these power much related to the power angle and power factor that indicates the efficiency of power generation. It stated that the lower the power factor will increase the current RMS that will lead to overheat he utility equipment. All the parameter can be simulated easily by using Power World Software. The software simulates all parameters in generators, transmission lines and load by design the suitable circuit diagram of national grid. The simulation will provide a clear view about the relationship between distributed generation and power factor. Besides that, this research will suggest the best way to install the distributed generation without or decrease the power factor compensation of the grid with the simulation.
