Integration of Distributed Generation in the Power SystemAuthor(s): Math H. J. Bollen, Fainan Hassan\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-IEEE Press\nISBN-13: 9780470643372, 978-0470643372\nSynopsis\nThe integration of new sources of energy like wind power, solar-power, small-scale generation, or combined heat and power in the power grid is something that impacts a lot of stakeholders: network companies (both distribution and transmission), the owners and operators of the DG units, other end-users of the power grid (including normal consumers like you and me) and not in the least policy makers and regulators.\nThere is a lot of misunderstanding about the impact of DG on the power grid, with one side (including mainly some but certainly not all, network companies) claiming that the lights will go out soon, whereas the other side (including some DG operators and large parks of the general public) claiming that there is nothing to worry .
