Trends in Development of Renewable Power Generation in Southern of Lao for Increasing the Equilibrium of Power System Operation

Abstract

Trends in the development of power generation to meet the stability on electric energy of the area are discussed, analyzed and presented in this article. This area has been relied on renewable energies which they are main energy in power generation. The Electric Power Southern Grid of Lao has been used as a study. The development trend in this study is based on the potential of the area's energy source which it must be a suitable source of renewable energy, as well as reduce the risk of relies on only type energy source and ensure an energy power to meet variety type of consumer. The results show that the energy stability of the area is not dependent on only hydropower available. Solar energy is suitable renewable energy, it can be used to generate power energy in distributed generation type. The distribution of the electrical load is a significant factor for determining the optimal location. The characteristics of electric load in the system is an important variable in determining the size and type of power generation. Computer simulations have shown that distributed generation in the load area provides the potential to increase the penetrate to network and reduce the losses in network system more than centralize mode
