Connection requirements and hosting capacity assessments for distributed energy resources in Malaysia Abstract: This paper discusses on the challenges and potential solutions for managing the stability of distribution networks as the penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) increases.
Leading Malaysian electric utility Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is on its way to creating an advanced transmission and distribution (T&D) grid that can support the country''s energy transition goals by reliably supplying electricity generated from renewable sources to
Since these resources are connected directly at the distribution network, which is closer to demand, they reduce the need for electricity to be supplied by centrally dispatched generators connected at the grid level.

abundant renewable energy sources using versatile hybrid power systems can offer the best, least-cost alternative solution for extending modern energy services to remote and isolated communities. The Tenth Malaysia Plan (2011–2015) prioritised rural development to enhance

TNB chief distribution network officer Wan Nazmy Wan Mahmood said the company has targeted to implement DA on 49% of its distribution substations by 2025 in the distribution network modernisation programme to support the grid of the future.
To support the generation capacity in years to come, distributed generation is conceptualized through stages upon its implementation in the power system network. However, the rapid establishment growth of distributed generation technology in Malaysia will invoke power quality problems in the current power system network.

On the international front, TNB has launched Vantage RE Ltd, a RE investment and asset management company to manage TNB''s RE assets in the UK and Europe.

To support the generation capacity in years to come, distributed generation is conceptualized through stages upon its implementation in the power system network. However, the rapid establishment growth of distributed generation technology in Malaysia will invoke power quality problems in the current power system network.
Therefore, this research paper will focus on the review of the energy prospect of both fossil fuel and renewable energy generation in Malaysia and other countries, followed by power quality issues and compensation device under a high renewable penetration distribution network.
Modernising the Malaysian Grid and Distribution Network Malaysia’s drive towards sustainable energy is reinforced by its global commitments, notably the Paris Agreement, and the need to fortify economic diversification and energy security.
The permissible THD in the Malaysian distribution grid system follows the standards of IEC 61000-3-4, IEC 61000-3-6, and IEEE 519-91 . The following permissible THD for current is shown below in Table 3.
This roadmap serves as a comprehensive guide to Malaysia's commitment to building a sustainable and inclusive energy system for the future. In 2023, TNB produced a total of 95,203GWh of electricity, of which 79,355GWh was generated from coal and gas sources and 7,903GWh from renewable energy sources.
In 2014, hydropower was the leading RE source, with 83.24% of the RE generation capacity, which contributes to 15.9% of Malaysia’s total energy production . An average annual rainfall of 2540, 2630, and 3850 mm 3 was recorded in Peninsular, Sabah, and Sarawak, making the potential of hydropower viable in the country [2, 20].
