Jung borrowed the idea from physics, where entropy refers to the tendency of all physical systems to "run down," that is, for all energy to become evenly distributed.

Jung从物理学借来这个想法，所谓乱度是指所有的物理系统都会往“耗损”的方向前进，最后让所有能量四散。

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.

FORBES: Magazine Article

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.

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.
