Abstract :
This paper presents a discussion about modeling reliability aspects of distributed generation connected to distribution systems. Three different models developed by the authors are presented. The first is based on analytical method and is applicable to DG units of non-intermittent energy sources. The second considers the uncertainty of generation associated with wind generation and proposes a model based on multiple states Markov process. The third combines some aspects of the two previous models and aggregates the load variation curve in a sequential Monte Carlo simulation method. Practical operational premises are explored in all models
