This paper presents the studies and specifications of the development of a computational platform for distributed generation connection evaluation that uses the concept of Hosting Capacity and automated individual analysis of the connection as well as a protocol to utilize this platform. The risks and problems linked to the unbridled and without criteria connection of distributed generation to the network and its connection processes are addressed. Finally, a case study applied to a real network is presented, evidencing the mitigation of potential power quality problems brought by the insertion of distributed generation and other benefits achieved with the use of the solution developed and applied. computational DG connection tools developed by the authors is the main theme of this article, as well as aDaniel Szente Fonseca et al.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
