Résumé:
The quality of electricity provided by the electrical system to consumers depends
on the smooth operation of the generation, transmission and distribution systems. Over
the past few decades, especially after the oil crisis of the 1970s, demand for electricity
has grown to a large extent. Distributed generation systems have emerged as a way of
diversifying the energy matrix of countries, bringing generation to geographically points
located closer to consumers. Although solar photovoltaic technology still has a small
impact compared to other distributed generation sources, its increasing expansion is
noticeable in the vicinity of distribution systems. The study was conducted to evaluate
the influence caused by distributed generation when inserted into distribution systems
by assessing the impact caused on a real distribution feeder. The simulations were
performed using the Programa de Análise de Redes – ANAREDE software. The results
showed an improvement in the voltage quality in the system buses near the distributed
generation, by evaluating indicators such as the Voltage Stability Margin and the
Voltage Collapse Point, showing that these systems contribute to the load relief and
improvement of the voltage profile of distribution feeders.
