Abstract :
Technical and economic impacts of Distributed Generation on the Colombian extra-high and high voltage transmission network are analyzed in this paper. The transmission network (extra-high, high and medium voltage) is divided in geographical zones. DG capacity installation is modeled in some of those zones considering two different location criteria: nodal factors and declared investment options. Results show significant benefits of the introduction of DG in transmission power losses and congestion reduction as well as in voltage profile improvement.
