Analyzing The Impact Of Distributed Generation In The Nigerian South East Region
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Electrical Engineering
Abstract
The impact of distributed generation in the Nigerian South East Region grid network is analysed in this paper. DG capacity installation in the network was modelled using NEPLAN software. Network loss reduction, transmission line power losses and congestion reduction as well as voltage profile improvement for the nodes of the network were observed in the results.
