Abstract :
Distributed generation has the potential to reduce equipment loading on distribution feeders, which can potentially eliminate capacity constraints that would otherwise prevent load transfers between feeders. This paper investigates this reliability aspect of distributed generation by examining the reliability of a test system for three different load duration curves representative of residential loading, commercial/industrial loading, and central business district loading.
