Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies carried out by the US Department of Energy [10] states that out of the total generating capacity 20% is derived from distributed generation. Power systems utilities predict that in near future, the number of "Distributed Energy Generators" installed will increase due to its reliability, flexibility, efficiency, upgradability and diversity. Electricity could not be stored readily and thus is generated and consumed instantaneously, thereby making it mandatory to maintain a tradeoff between the generated and consumed power. On the other hand, the ever increasing demand for electricity makes system planning and operations an important task. This can be achieved and done precisely with the aid of system reliability. This project pinpoints assessment of a system designed by Roy Billinton [3]. The intention is to examine the consequences of DEG on the network. The analysis being carried out on HLIII and the improvement in system reliability is studied using various indices. Additionally, system response in terms of overall reliability is observed and analyzed after penetration of single DG and multiple DG near the load point. Later, the relation between system reliability and the distance of the installed DEG is analyzed. Recollecting the importance of system reliability for distribution companies from an investment point of view is also one of the objective. Studies and analysis are supported and are verified using ETAP software [9].
