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.

Keywords

DG - Distributed generation, IPP - Independent Power Producers, ENS - Energy not supplied, NEPLAN - Simulation software, MW - Megawatt
