Using existing distributed generation to mitigate voltage issues on the network

The connection of distributed generation, mainly at the lower voltage levels, is transforming the legacy network. The evolution of the network has to overcome the problems associated with the integration of distributed generation. These problems include the management of the network´s voltage, reactive and active power flows, fault current, power quality, and frequency and voltage stability issues. This paper illustrates a voltage problem on a section of network and proposes a method to alleviate the issue using the existing distributed generation.
