Distributed Generation, Battery Storage, and Combined Heat
This report presents the Z Federal and DNV analysis and data update for distributed generation (DG), battery storage, and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) technology and cost inputs into
Distributed generation refers to technologies that generate electricity at or near where it will be used. Learn about how distributed energy generation can support the delivery of clean, reliable power to additional customers.
Specifically: Existing cost-effective distributed generation technologies can be used to generate electricity at homes and businesses using renewable energy resources such as solar and wind. Distributed generation can harness energy that might otherwise be wasted—for example, through a combined heat and power system.
DG/DERs have historically recognized advantages and concerns. These have led to DG playing a complementary role to centralized power generation. However, new conditions in many power markets are raising the possibility that DG may play a more prominent role.
The distributed generation's contribution to the grid is important to grid operations . When a DG is added to the electrical distribution network, the power flow is transformed from an initial passive system to an active one, having the potential to directly affect the voltage-regulating equipment.
