The potential for generating electricity with photovoltaic systems is high in Colombia given its geographical position in the tropic. Some departments in Colombia have low electricity coverage and high rates. In the department of Putumayo there is a low coverage rate and high energy costs, while the solar radiation potential is high. Due to the geographical differences of the Putumayo subregions, the radiation potential for electricity generation is unknown. In addition, in this department the energy tariffs are above the national average. The objective of this paper is to determine the effective potential for solar photovoltaic power generation in the Putumayo department with a detailed methodology considering the information of different remote database and meteorological stations and some technical conditions. It was found that the highest effective solar potential occurs in the Amazon region, and the lowest in the Andean region in the Putumayo. On the other hand, when evaluating electricity consumption and tariffs in the regions, it is concluded that consumption can be satisfied with photovoltaic systems by producing self-generating electricity and distributed generation.

Distributed generation system (DGs) is considered to be an advanced configuration of distributed generation through the effective organization of renewable energy power sources, loads and energy storage devices, which can operate either isolation or connected with grid. This paper studied the control of DGs which is constructed with DFIG (Double Fed Induction Generator) based Wind Farm, PV (Photovoltaic) generation farm and Storage Batteries. The paper studied the simulation model of the DGs and the control strategy.

This paper has presented the concept of distributed generation to endorse microgrid in Oman to enhance utilization of solar energy. The various components of a 3 kW solar photovoltaic based distributed generation system have designed to meet the lighting load of a laboratory. The HOMER Pro software has used to model and simulate the output power of PV system and per unit energy cost. The optimized energy cost determined under sensitivity scenario becomes US$0.17per kWh. During off peak duration, the microgrid can export 740 kWh surplus powers to the grid annually. Paper has also discussed the benefits and challenges of distributed generation and microgrid
