Distributed Generation, condition for using Wind Energy in the Southern Khorasan Province, maintaining and converting wind to the Compressed Air

摘要

Restructuring in Iranian Electric Power Systems has been caused focusing on Renewable Energy Sources in these systems more than before. Distributed Generation (DG) units may have various effects on the Electrical Power Systems according to their specifications, conditions of operating, and the location of installing. What declares nowadays in this field, is finding the correct location, method of generating power, and the way to connect DG units to the National Grid. In this research, an introduction of DG, its advantages, and the conditions for using DG units in Iran has been discussed and also a survey on Wind Energy in the Southern Khorasan Province and subsequently the usage of Compressed Air in storing Wind Energy have been discussed and analyzed.
