To approach the subject, it will be analyzed a residential microgeneration system when connected to the network, and its impacts on the Energy Distributor, considering the recent changes in the sector. The study helps to clarify the current scenario of Distributed Generation in Brazil, and the selected sample can be compared to broader studies.
