Distributed generation is the energy generated near the point of use. The ongoing energy transition is manifested by decarbonization above all. Renewable energy is at the heart of global decarbonization efforts. Distributed energy systems are complimenting the renewable drive.
Distributed energy storage is also a means of providing grid or network services which can provide an additional economic benefit from the storage device. Electrical energy storage is shown to be a complementary technology to CHP systems and may also be considered in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, thermal energy storage.
Extensive research has been conducted on the optimized placement of distributed energy storage systems to improve the reliability and resilience of distribution power systems. However, several limitations and areas for improvement remain, as highlighted in prior studies.
Distributed energy resources (DER), encompassing distributed generation (DG), energy storage systems (ESS), and controllable loads, is an effective technique for enhancing power distribution system reliability and power quality .
Distributed generation offers several benefits to energy consumers, producers and the environment: Climate change has increased the frequency of extreme weather events and natural disasters, which can cause power outages and disruptions. Distributed energy resources enhance power system resilience as backup options for energy generation.
DES can employ a wide range of energy resources and technologies and can be grid-connected or off-grid. Accordingly, distributed generation systems are making rapid advancements on the fronts of technology and policy landscapes besides experiencing significant growth in installed capacity.
