Distributed Energy Resources

Exploring the potential of distributed energy resources, Distributed Energy Resources highlights solutions for a low-carbon society through research and case studies.

The future of the distributed energy generation market is bright, with significant opportunities emerging across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. This growth is largely driven by an increasing awareness of clean energy initiatives, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, and the escalating global demand for energy. The book Distributed Energy Resources delves into these themes, emphasizing the importance of ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all, as outlined in UN Sustainable Development Goal 7.

Through comprehensive research findings, applications, and case studies, Distributed Energy Resources explores the potential of distributed energy resources as a viable solution for achieving a low-carbon society. Key topics covered include the modeling and evaluation of distributed power systems, system maintenance and reliability, and the economic implications of hydrogen energy systems. Additionally, the book addresses crucial aspects such as grid stabilization, carbon emission reduction, and the impact of energy penetration on public power grids.

Case studies presented in the book highlight the effects of renewable energy policies on solar photovoltaic energy in countries like China, Germany, Japan, and the USA, alongside a feasibility assessment of distributed energy systems in Shanghai. This work serves as a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in energy systems, urban energy management, and renewable energy technologies, while also acting as a reference guide for practicing engineers, urban energy planners, and energy system managers.
