Generación Distribuida (GD): Nuevo Paradigma de la Industria Eléctrica Efecto sobre las Pérdidas, la Energía Reactiva y la Tensión

Abstract - In this work the planning and designphilosophies of Power Systems are discussed, analyzingthe situation over the past 50 years and the changes newtechnologies have introduced such as DistributedGeneration (DG). The influence of DG in the distributionnetwork losses and possibility of controlling the voltageby reactive power injection are discussed with theanalysis simple demonstrative network.Keyword - Distributed generation (DG), distributionnetworks, reactive power, losses
