Fundamentals of Distributed Energy Resources

Distributed energy resources (DER) are becoming ubiquitous in modern power systems, bringing both opportunities and challenges for electricity network operation. You'll explore the components and operation of DER systems including generators and energy storage, understand penetration levels and future trajectories of main DER technologies, and identify the positive and negative impacts of DER on electricity supply systems. Learn about the standards that apply to DER equipment and installations and discover the options available to increase DER penetration while mitigating operational challenges.
