DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES
DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES (DERs)
DERs is an all-encompassing term used to describe any technology that is included in distributed power generation as well as demand-side measures. Under this configuration, power can be sold back to the grid where permitted by regulation.
There are many applications for distributed energy projects, including:
-
• Small-Scale electric network connecting customers to an electrical supply.
• Can stand on its own to supply electricity to the customer or operate in parallel with the utility.
• Can use any combination of energy resources including solar panels, wind turbines, battery banks, and internal combustion generators for maximum localized power resilience.
• Can provide backup power for life safety systems, sustaining critical processes, disaster recovery/continuity, and legally required systems.
-
• Production of steam and electricity simultaneously.
• Greatly improved efficiencies when steam is needed for other processes.
-
• Production of excess electricity which is exported to the grid (peaking).
• Reduction of loads during peak use periods (peak shaving).
• Utility incentives may be available for peak shaving or peaking operations.
• Peak shaving assets can be used for backup power.
-
• Utility incentives to reduce peak energy demand.
-
• Steam for many types of processes including sterilization, process heating, drying/curing etc.
• Focus on efficiency and reliability.
-
• Commercial and Industrial solar.
• Combined biogas/landfill gas and compressed natural gas generators.
• Biomass power generation.
• Wind turbines.
• Solar arrays.
• Energy storage.
• Hydrogen.
-
• Propane-Air systems allow you to replace natural gas with a propane-air mixture for gas line interruptions.
