Distributed-energy systems are developed piecemeal over a long period of time and often require investments that take a long time to yield meaningful returns.
Testing 94 systems distributed across nine ships during an amphibious assault was an important part of the validation test -- and the first time an entire MEU has participated in such a test, Malagon said.
Unlike traditional "centralized" systems, distributed energy relies on small power-generating technologies like solar panels or ultra-efficient natural-gas turbines built near the point of energy consumption to supplement or displace grid-distributed electricity.
PowerSecure pioneered the Interactive Distributed Generation IDG power systems platform, which uses sophisticated electricity forecasting software to reduce operating costs through peak shaving, enhances demand response resources and provides a suite of standby power solutions.
Distributed generation ( DG) generally refers to renewable energy systems of less than 20 megawatts (MW), often rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, installed close to load and existing transmission.
