Abstract

Distributed generation (DG) becomes more popular power generation system in the presence of power engineering sector. It has environmental and economic benefit compared with other power generation system and run new technologies to have more efficient and less pollution in the environment. Due to the fluctuating behavior of renewable energy sources (RES), balancing, production and demand are not an easy task to control because it is not possible to get constant power from the renewable energy sources due to the natural situation. That’s why control of frequency in the power systems becomes more difficult due to the increasing of penetration of renewable resources. Therefore, a more effective control technique is needed to avoid a network collapse during power distribution. To better understand the technology of DG, methods of control, regulation of frequency related factors, the impact of DG on the voltage, power quality, and frequency during its connection to the grid distribution is identified in introduction part and the literature review based on DG in chapter I. Power grid connected to a wind turbine has been discussed in chapter II. Three scenarios of power system operation with control technique have been discussed for a hybrid diesel / high-penetration wind-based energy storage system in chapter III. In this application, PID and the fuzzy logic controller have been compared to each other to observe the fluctuation behavior of frequency. Therefore, some limitations and prospects of this methodology are identified in the conclusion.
