摘要：

Distributed power generation (DG) is a smallscale dispersed generation, which is mounted at the consumer side and can be combined into the distribution grid. Its benefit includes the reduction of transmission and distribution losses and ensuring power reliability. The need for high investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure among others is also reduced. DG provides, to some extent independence from the main grid that enables easy maintenance of the network, voltage, and enhance frequency stabilization. This research sheds light on the impacts of on-grid and off-grid DGs on the distribution networks. The investigation is conducted on the Alavanyo Tsatsadu Micro-hydro distributed power generation system. In doing that, an Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) software is used to model a 15-bus radial distribution network to establish an improvement in voltage profile and a decrease in power losses. Several scenarios are similarly modeled to observe the performance of the grid.
