As a result of deregulation, the US electric utility industry is
undergoing a dramatic transformation with far-reaching technical and
social consequences. At the heart of this transformation lies
Distributed Generation (DG)-the substitution of centralized electricity
production with smaller-scale technologies located in or near facilities
and powered by natural gas or renewable resources. The Electric Power
Research Institute estimates that 20 percent of all new power generation
will use distributed, not centralized technologies.Distributed
Generation: The Power Paradigm for the New Millennium is the first step
to understanding the myriad issues that surround the newest, most
significant trend in power production since the steam turbine. Chapters
contributed by the top experts in their fields address virtually every
aspect of this energy "revolution," from its associated technologies to
the regulatory environment and from choosing the right DG system for a
given purpose to the novel financial and economic opportunities this
paradigm shift presents.This book gives engineers and energy business
developers their first opportunity to explore and gain a broad
understanding of the new energy landscape. With its detailed discussion
of the near-term technologies that will see application in the next few
years, Distributed Generation: The Power Paradigm for the New Millennium
will undoubtedly become the industry's standard reference.
