ABSTRACT: This paper proposes to study the impacts of electrical
line losses due to the connection of distributed generators (DG) to 22kV
distribution system of Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA). Data of
geographic information systems (GIS) including the distance of distribution
line and location of load being key parameter of PEA is simulated using digital
simulation and electrical network calculation program (DIgSILENT) to analyze
power loss of the distribution system. In addition, the capacity and location
of DG installed into the distribution system is considered. The results are
shown that, when DG is installed close to the substation, the electrical line
losses are reduced. However, if DG capacity becomes larger and the distance
between DG and load is longer, the electrical line losses tend to increase. The
results of this paper can be used to create the suitability and fairness of the
fee for both DG and utility.
