Holders of the Hidden Keys to DER Integration

摘要

Distributed Energy Resource (DER) deployments are rapidly growing. While DER drivers vary by technology, region, and customer, "the overarching goal of DER deployments is to make the electricity grid more efficient, resilient, cost-effective, and sustainable." Navigant Research forecasts the world-wide capacity of DER to increase four fold from 136 GW in 2015 to 531 GW in 2024. Of that increase, North America is projected to be the second largest market (after Asia Pacific) with installed capacity increasing 46 GW to 134 GW-a compound annual growth rate of 12.6 percent.
