The deregulation of the electrical power system, the new emerging generation technologies and the difficulty of getting the high investments required by the power system changed the way to produce and transmit electricity worldwide. The centralized generation, with big power plants and long transmission lines will share the power electricity market with smaller generation units, placed near the customer. It's the Distributed Generation, which comprises a significant number of new generation technologies: microturbines, fuel cells, photovoltaic systems, combustion engines, wind generation, etc. In Brazil, the microturbine is one of the favorites technologies to do this kind of generation due to its many benefits and the interest of the Brazilian government in using the great quantity of natural gas available in the country for power generation.

Keywords : Microturbinas; geração distribuída; geração descentralizada; microredes; cogeração.
