Abstract :
This paper presents a review of the role of distributed generation (DG) in restructured power systems, and has two parts. The first part reviews reasons behind DG deployment for utilities and customers, as well as new issues and concerns arise once DG penetration level increases. The second part of the paper presents a case study simulating the effect of DG deployment in electricity markets.
