A Comprehensive Review of Distributed Generation and Demand Response Programs in Modern Power Networks

Distributed generation (DG) pertains to the generation of electricity from decentralized power plants, a vital consideration in the planning of contemporary power grid networks. This involves a careful assessment of both initial capital investments and associated carbon emissions. The primary advantages associated with the integration of these units encompass the augmentation of power availability and the improvement of overall grid reliability. This paper aims to review and assess demand response management (DRM), enhance the reliability and efficiency in wind power integration in the electricity grid, this study integrates (BESS) battery energy storage systems with renewable distributed generators. Additionally, it provides valuable references for future researchers aiming to improve the integration of wind power.. This review paper also offers a thorough analysis of earlier studies that sought to overcome the inherent variability of wind energy production and offer a means of storing and using surplus wind energy. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop energy systems that are more reliable, efficient, and sustainable that can accommodate an increasing proportion of renewable energy sources like wind power. A thorough examination of diverse methodologies, operational tactics, and model categorization is provided, wherein the categorization is contingent upon their respective advantages and disadvantages
