Book excerpt: The increasing energy demand over the last few decades has led to more stresses on the power system. With the demand being equal to the available supply capacity and in some cases exceeding it, there is a need to increase the capacity of the electric system ensuring that the network security is maintained. Distributed Generation located in the Distribution Network provides the ability to meet the growing demand. With increasing concerns on the environmental impacts of conventional power stations, initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol for Climate Change have encouraged the diversification and development of energy efficient systems. These systems rely on renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and tidal energy. However, the existing power system was not designed to include generating systems on the distribution network. As a result, the unplanned integrations of Distributed Generating Systems might cause some technical problems to the grid. Wind-based Distributed Generation Systems offer an economical and efficient solution. However, the incorporation of wind energy on the Distribution Network not only alters the power flow but in some cases results in imbalanced voltages at specific points in the network. Advances in technology has resulted in increased capacity of the Wind Energy Conversion System with some having the capability to generate more than 1MVA from a single turbine resulting in the possibility of higher Distributed Generation penetration levels on the Distribution Network. The main focus of this research is to analyse the impact of high Distributed Generating Systems penetration on the voltage stability of the network under various loading conditions. It will also analyse the control strategies to be employed to deal with any effects on the stability of the network.
