Abstract

The benefits of distributed generation in the Nigerian South West zone power system is studied in this paper. DG capacity installation in the power system was modelled using NEPLAN software. Network loss reduction, reduction in transmission line losses and congestion as well as voltage profile improvement for the nodes of the network were some of the observed advantages in the results.

Keywords

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