Abstract

As a consequence of increased electricity market, the distribution systems have been restated to consider alternative generation sources. These sources with a maximum capacity of less than 100 MW are defined as distributed generation (GD). Most DGs are usually connected to the electrical network without planned and dispatched control, since traditional distribution systems were not designed to consider any other generation sources.
