A Multifaceted View Of Distributed Generation Systems And Their Impacts
By Marcelo Algrain, Ph.D., Engineering Technical Steward, Electric Power Division, Caterpillar Inc.
The term Distributed Generation (DG) encompasses a wide range of electric power generation sources — from a residential rooftop photovoltaic resource to a large wind farm. Hence, the impact of DG varies significantly depending on the context with its neighboring utility. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness on the diversity of issues associated with DG applications.
