Technological systems and momentum change: American electric utilities, restructuring, and distributed generation

Green Energy Generation in Buildings: Grid-Tied Distributed Generation Systems (DGS) With Energy Storage Applications to Sustain the Smart Grid Transformation

The challenge of electricity distribution’s upgrade to incorporate new technologies is big, and electric utilities are mandated to work diligently on this agenda, thus making investments to ensure that current networks maintain their electricity supply commitments secure and reliable in face of disruptions and adverse environmental conditions from a variety of sources. The paper presents a new ...

Distributed Generation Business Modelling. Busmod Project

Currently, the electric industry is undergoing a complete transformation and restructuring due to the concurrent convergence of deregulation and the advent of Distributed Generation (DG). Some years ago, electricity was produced in some big power plants and a few vertically integrated electric utilities covered all the steps in the electricity supply: generation, transmission, distribution and ...

Role of Electric Vehicles Parking Lots and Storage Systems on the Penetration Rate of Distributed Generation and Network Reconfiguration

Introduction of new technologies such as energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and distributed generation improved the characteristics of networks. On other hand, using these components in distribution systems improves system performances such as power losses. One of effective methods for improving system characteristics is distribution network reconfiguration. In this study, in addition t...

Distributed Generation and Momentum Change in the American Electric Utility System: A Social-science systems Approach

Investigating and Improving the Effect of Distributed Generation on Reliability in Wind Systems by ARMA Method

The increasing development of the use of new energies has led to the widespread use of power electronics, so that electronic power converters play an important role in extracting power from renewable sources. Power electronics can convert raw energy produced from new energy into the desired power with controlled current, voltage and frequency to be used in the power grid. Restructuring of power...
