Distributed generation: A review of factors that can contribute most to achieve a scenario of DG units embedded in the new distribution networks

We are witnessing in recent years a significant increase in the penetration of small units of distributed generation on electricity networks, motivated by a higher demand of environmental protection and a gradual process of liberalization on the energy market. In last decade many countries have begun a liberalization process of their electrical systems by opening access to transmission and distribution networks. This has been accompanied by a fast growth in the presence of small generators distributed, of several technologies, many of them based on renewable energy sources.
