Distributed generation is playing an increasingly important and positive role in decreasing network losses, reducing electricity prices, maintaining environmental and economical benefits, reducing the investment in generation capacity, and delaying the upgrade of the transmission system. Therefore, researchers have become interested with distributed generation and its connection with the main power network. But before connecting these resources with the main grid on the low-voltage level, the worst-case scenario that could occur must be analyzed first. This article introduces a procedure to study the effect of the distributed generation units on distribution systems during short-circuit periods. This effect is measured in terms of fault current, transient time, voltage total harmonic distortion, voltage sag, and voltage swell. The main objective of this study is to study the influence of distributed generation on distribution systems so the maximum distributed generation penetration that can be adopted in a distribution system without degrading the system performance is determined. A general purpose alternative transients program version of the electromagnetic transient program is used to accomplish the above goals. The proposed method is tested on IEEE 13-node test feeder distribution system to demonstrate its performance.
