Description for Integration of Distributed Generation in the Power System
Hardcover. Distributed Generation (DG) reduces the amount of energy lost in transmitting electricity because the electricity is generated very near where it is used. This book introduces systematic and transparent methods for quantifying the impact of DG on the power grid. Series: IEEE Press Series on Power Engineering. Num Pages: 528 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: THX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 166 x 32. Weight in Grams: 908.
The integration of new sources of energy like wind power, solar-power, small-scale generation, or combined heat and power in the power grid is something that impacts a lot of stakeholders: network companies (both distribution and transmission), the owners and operators of the DG units, other end-users of the power grid (including normal consumers like you and me) and not in the least policy makers and regulators.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about the impact of DG on the power grid, with one side (including mainly some but certainly not all, network companies) claiming that the lights will ... Read more
The authors are of the strong opinion that this is NOT the way one should approach such an important subject as the integration of new, more environmentally friendly, sources of energy in the power grid. With this book the authors aim to bring some clarity to the debate allowing all stakeholders together to move to a solution. This book will introduce systematic and transparent methods for quantifying the impact of DG on the power grid.
