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.
