Technical FAQs 4

What is distributed generation?

Distributed generation (DG) refers to electricity generation done by small-scale energy systems installed near the energy consumer. These systems are called distributed energy resources (DERs) and commonly include solar panels, small wind turbines, fuel cells and energy storage systems.

What are distributed energy resources?

Distributed energy resources, or DER, are small-scale energy systems that power a nearby location. DER can be connected to electric grids or isolated, with energy flowing only to specific sites or functions. DER include both energy generation technologies and energy storage systems.

What is distributed energy generation?

When energy generation occurs through distributed energy resources, it’s referred to as distributed generation. While DER systems use a variety of energy sources, they’re often associated with renewable energy technologies such as rooftop solar panels and small wind turbines.

What is the difference between distributed energy resources and decentralized power generation?

While both terms relate to decentralized power generation, distributed energy resources encompass a broader range of technologies, including energy storage and load management systems while distributed generation focuses primarily on power production.
