Abstract: 
The need for smart electrical systems with minimal technological error and environmental impact is driving interest in Distributed Generations (DGs), which can have a number of additional benefits such as decreased transmission and distribution system resources, enhanced stability, and improved power efficiency, among others. Nonetheless, these benefits may or may not be valid depending on the system design and management. Furthermore, the role of small generation distributed in the low/medium voltage network has gained significance as a result of technological and administrative improvements in the electricity supply industry motivated by the advent of completion. This paper seek to address distributed generation in power systems.
