Distributed generation refers to small renewable energy sources that are connected to a local power distribution network of the utility. It involves small-scale generation plants or technologies such as solar photovoltaics (PV), bioenergy, wind turbines and thermal systems distributed across distribution networks or residential areas to supplement main grid power generation. Distributed generation techniques provide clean power production options at or near the point of use. They ... Read more

Rise of Distributed Generation - The future of power generation

The traditional model of centralized power generation, where large power plants generate electricity and transmit it through long transmission and distribution lines, has been the mainstay of the power sector for over a century. However, with technological advancements and policy support, Distributed Generation (DG) has emerged as a viable alternative to centralized power systems. DG ... Read more

The distributed generation market refers to smaller-scale power generation technologies that produce electricity at or near the end user. Distributed generation technologies include solar PV systems, wind turbines, reciprocating engines and fuel cells. These technologies help distribute electricity production to consumers and allow them to generate their own power onsite. Distributed generation offers several advantages such as reduced transmission losses, increased energy security and fuel ... Read more
