Distributed resource electric power systems offer significant advantages over central station generation and TD power systems: Part II

摘要

This paper is a continuation of Pant I which describes the attributes of both the (1) existing central station generation and T & D power systems; and (2) distributed resource (DR) power systems; and summarizes the results of a comparison of ten different performance characteristics for each system. The performance characteristics for the central station and T & D; and DR power systems included (1) efficiency and losses, (2) investment, fuel, and 0 & M costs, (3) reliability and power quality, (4) emissions, (5) infrastructure requirements, (6) electrical environmental effects, (7) installation time, (8) electrical safety, (9) CCHP opportunities, and (10) financial risk and security risk. This performance matrix analysis clearly shows the significant advantages of DR power systems such as microgrids, and self generation. Part I summarizes the results of the performance characteristics of(l) efficiency and losses, and Part II includes (2) through (10).
