Analysis of Recent Technologies Introduced in the Electric Power System

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of technologies recently introduced in the electric power system. The penetration of distributed generation, smart grid and micro grid in the power system in recent years leads to number of technical, economic and environmental benefits. The overall improvement in the electric power system due to these technologies was need of the hour. A lot of work has been carried out regarding proper placement of distributed generator in the network. However, it is found that distributed generator operated by non-conventional energy sources always found beneficial in many ways. Addition of smart grid and micro grid further enhances power system efficiency, economy and reliability.
