Summary |
Providing reliable and secure electric power to meet the growing demands of this century, in a way which mitigates the adverse effects of climate change, is a daunting challenge. The situation has given rise to increased interest in the potential for Distributed Power Systems (DPS): a combination of distributed sources of power production and distributed power storage. This study examines the economic, environmental, and energy security case for DPS. |
