Alternative Power Systems And Devices

Abstract

Distributed power (DP) refers to the process and concepts in which small to medium (a few kWup to 50 MW or more) power generation facilities, energy storage facilities (thermal, ?ywheel, hydro, ?ow, and regular batteries), and other strategies are located at or near the customer’s loads and premises. DP technologies installed near customers’ loads operate as grid-connected or islanded resources at the distribution or subtransmission level and are geographically scattered throughout the service area. DP generation harnesses renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, such as solar insolation, wind, biomass, tides, hydro, waves, geothermal, biogas, natural gas, hydrogen, and diesel, in a distributed manner. DP also includes several nonutility sources of electricity, including facilities for self-generation, energy storage, and combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration systems.
