Abstract
The most common application of Distributed Generation (DG) is for reliability reasons. After experiencing an interruption, backup generators can be started to supply electricity to critical loads. The next most common application for DG is peak load shaving. During time periods of high energy demand or high energy prices, on-site generators are started up and used to serve part of the on-site loads. So DG can increase reliability of power supply, reduce loss of interruption and solve the problem of peak loads. Due to the high costs, only a few were installed. In order to investigate their economic values, in this thesis, several economic assessment methods are used to evaluate the cost-benefit of DG. Test results have revealed that, unless it is for environment protection reasons, the investment of DG is of little value if the fuel cost is high, and the electricity and the customer interruption costs are low.
