Dynamic reduction of distribution networks with dispersed generation

Nowadays the number of dispersed generators (DG) is growing rapidly. This change will greatly influence the power system dynamics. A distribution network, where DG are connected to the grid, cannot be considered as passive anymore. So in future it will not be possible to use simple equivalents of distribution networks for power system dynamic modeling as it was done before. In dynamic studies whole power system cannot be represented in detailed manner because of huge system dimension. Therefore special techniques have to be applied for aggregation and order-reduction of distribution networks with DG. In this paper brief review of existing techniques has been done, and afterwards dynamic reduction using balanced truncations has been performed for a small distribution network consisting of DG of different type
