This paper discusses the impact of Distributed Generator (DG) on the power system for enhancing the power system quality by improving the voltage profile and power losses reduction. With the increasing on the demand power and the power system extension, the distributed renewable energy technologies are becoming increasingly important in the energy supply systems of many countries. DGs units can be defined as a small-units that generate electric power near to the location of customers based on the renewable energy techniques, including wind energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy. Interconnecting DG to an existing distribution system provides various benefits to several entities as for example the owner, utility and the final user. DG provides an enhanced power quality, higher reliability of the distribution system and can peak shaves and fill valleys. However, the integration of DG into existing networks has associated several technical, economic and regulatory questions. Also, this paper uses the power system IEEE-12 busses for an example to illustrate the voltage control and decreases the active and reactive power losses by adding the wind generation DGs with the distribution network.

The power system stability is the accurate operation of the electric grid by restoring balance after being subjected to an abnormal condition such as fault, line switching, load rejection, and loss of excitation. Protective equipment in high voltage substations should fast and precisely localize the faults. Some abnormal conditions in the power system such as out-of-step (OOS) condition which is not a real fault, but the protection equipment will consider it is. This misjudgment will cause the loss of synchronism between areas within the power system or between interconnected systems and will lead to blackout of the national grid. This paper studied the OOS condition, philosophy of protection relay device and how to avoid the false operation for distance function by Out of Step Blocking (OSB) by using the advanced protection relay, to improve the stability of power system.
