Abstract

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/ig.v8i15.0241

Today, electrical distribution systems face significant challenges such as technical losses, line overloads and increasing energy demand. Therefore, the study focused on analyzing how an urban network is affected by distributed generation, prioritizing operational efficiency and compliance with technical regulations. The study addressed the behavior of some systems when integrating distributed generation and meeting demand in specific sectors, especially under overload conditions that affect system reliability. The methodology used included power flow analysis, equivalent circuit modeling and computer simulations to evaluate various network scenarios. The findings show the possibility of performing balanced power management to optimize the use of existing assets and strengthening energy transmission planning. This study highlights the importance of incorporating distributed generation and its technical feasibility in a feeder. This in turn contributes to energy sustainability and the implementation of strategies to ensure a reliable and scalable supply, allowing sustainable development of cities with the injection of power in high demand contexts, the reduction of energy losses by bringing energy generation closer to the consumer in distribution networks.

Keywords: Self-consumption, distributed generation, energy sustainability, distribution network, renewable energy, electrical system.
