The installation of distributed generation with renewable energy becomes a solution when the demand for electricity is increasing and electricity generation with fossil energy is increasingly limited. There has been a change in power flow before and after the installation of distributed generation. However there can be a negative impact on the distribution network losses applicable to reactive power flows. There are cases where the distributed generation capacity is greater than the supplied load, resulting in distributed generation operating as a system voltage regulator and requiring reactive power, so that DG will absorb the reactive power from the system. The increasing demand for reactive power in DG also causes an increase in the current flowing in the network, and causes an increase in losses in the network, especially for the losses in reactive power.
