Distributed Energy Resources Bring Benefits, Challenges - and New Opportunities

摘要

Distributed energy resources have changed the power generation sector, disrupting traditional markets and distribution models. Those working in the field tell POWER that research and development will continue as part of the evolving landscape for solar, wind, battery storage, and other new energy technologies, even in a changing regulatory environment. The advent of distributed energy resources (DERs) is changing the way power is generated and transmitted to the electric grid. DERs, the smaller power sources that can be used individually or aggregated to serve the grid, have paved the way for a two-way flow of energy and allowed the incorporation of new, connected technologies for power generation.
