DISTRIBUTED GENERATION IS A MEANS OF INCREASING POWER SYSTEM SURVIVABILITY

Abstract

Today we observe an increase in the amount of cogeneration plants with capacity up to 25 MW. We offer the approach that allows more efficient use of distributed generation. Distributed generation, when combined in a isolated local power system, can be considered as an effective means of ensuring the reliability and survivability of individual territories and power system as a whole. And this, in turn, allows us to speak about improving energy security.
