Abstract

Micro-grid and DG (Distributed generator) plays a crucial role in modern power systems. The large network of any power system ends at distribution side where high current and low voltage level is suitable for operation. This paper briefly describes about different type of DG system and micro-grid components. It covers brief idea about micro-grid controlling scheme and its mode of operation. The effect of external power source and its impacts on load flow study have been demonstrated on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. The techniques used for selection and allocation of DG have been mentioned and used analysis based on proposed radial distribution model. The variation of parameters (i.e. voltage and active power loss) after introduction of external active power units have been represented in this paper
