Abstract

Distributed generation (DG) is definedas small-scale electricity productionin the distribution network near final users. In the last years,the participation of DG in distribution systemshas increased considerably due to factors that include technological advances in small-scale generation and a renewed interest in environmental issues. In this context, it is important to have studies that assess its impact not only at the level of the distribution networksbut also in transmission networks. This paper presentsa methodology to assess the impacts of GD on the transmission network in terms of active and reactive power losses, voltage profile, and congestionlevel of transmission lines, emissions and spinningreserves. These impacts are evaluated through indexes adapted from the technical literature. Furthermore, probabilistic power flows as well as the concept ofvirtual power plantare used for modeling renewable DG(solar and wind). Results are presented in the IEEE 39-bustest system that demonstrates the applicability of the proposed methodology.
