Distributed dispatching for embedded generation
… systems are currently moving towards distributed generation, using many small generators instead of a few large ones. This can potentially produce great improvements in efficiency, by allowing utilisation of waste heat (cogeneration). However, it also poses new problems of control and …

Matrix converter application to FACTS and embedded generation
… transmission system devices and renewable power generation to the ac grid. Among the ac to ac converters, the matrix converter represents a promising alternative power electronics technology to back to back converters. It does not incorporate any storage elements which minimises the size and …

A planning scheme for penetrating embedded generation in power distribution grids
Penetrating Embedded Generation, or Distributed Generation (DG), in power distribution grids presents great benefits and substantial positive social impacts to utilities, system operators and electricity consumers. Existing research and practices on DG penetration planning have a few deficiencies: …

Incentives and drivers for property owners to pursue private embedded generation through solar photovoltaic systems
… country is heavily reliant on coal for energy generation, which requires the move towards a more sustainable energy mix. Renewable energy generation, especially in the form of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, is expected to play an important role in South Africa's future energy systems. …

Small scale embedded generation (SSEG) in Cape Town: a case study on the impact of Cape Town's SSEG regulation
… proliferation of distributed renewable generation embedded within the electricity network, called Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG). Yet, while such decentralised technologies have taken a central role in discussions on energy transitions in the Global North, their implications in …

How the sustainability transition in energy is transforming the built environment of South African cities
… indicating that the rapid growth in distributed embedded generation (EG) was sparked by recent tax incentives and not the introduction of Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) offered by city municipalities. Whilst the RE sector and solar PV market have grown through consumer demand for EG, they still face …

Electric load forecasting with increased embedded renewable generation
… and distributed small scale renewable generation. Addressing this challenge, this thesis explores of a number of load forecasting methodologies for short-term day-ahead load forecasting under these new conditions using data from the Northern Ireland (NI) and New York (NY) state power …

Experimental Investigation and Evaluation of Future Active Distribution Networks
… policy to achieve a 20% renewable energy generation target by 2020, will require significant amounts of SSEG (Small-Scale Embedded Generation) to be connected. In addition to the expected economic and environmental benefits, the anticipated growth in SSEG brings with it numerous challenges …

New methods for the protection of embedded generators against the loss of utility networks.
… able to reliably detect Loss of Mains (LOM) for Embedded Generation (EG) has been much documented. In particular it is very difficult for current methods to detect LOM when the EG is "islanded" with part of the Utility Load which has a similar capacity to the EG. For these reasons much research …
