Distributed Generation Impacts on Distribution System Operation, Performance, and Design
Radial distribution systems tend to be planned, designed, and constructed “according to the book”,
which makes special considerations necessary for evaluating distributed resource applications
especially difficult. EnerNex® can help you navigate a broad range of technical questions related
to the impact of distributed generation on distribution system design, operation, and protection, including:
- Technical studies of distribution feeders with DG equipment – short circuit, voltage regulation and flicker, transients and harmonics, dynamics and islanding
- Contract research and development – protection methods, analytical methods, equipment characterization, modeling and simulation
- DG technology characterization and evaluation – development of computational models of complex power electronics-based DG equipment for traditional power system analysis tools, including short-circuit; power flow, harmonics, dynamics, and transients
- DG equipment design for protection and integration – definition of requirements for protection and operation to insure maximum ability to integrate with a wide range of distribution feeders and networks
- Advanced protective system design – new algorithms and methods for protecting DG equipment and distribution networks against the potential negative impacts of multiple sources on relatively unsophisticated distribution feeders designed principally for radial operation
