Solar Distributed Power Generation Grid

Distributed energy resource (DER) systems are small-scale power generation or storage technologies (typically in the range of 1 kW to 10,000 kW) used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system. DER systems typically are characterized by high initial per kilowatt. DER systems also serve as storage device and are often called Distributed energy storage systems (DESS). [pdf]

Microgrid power generation sources

A microgrid presents various types of generation sources that feed electricity, heating, and cooling to the user. These sources are divided into two major groups – thermal energy sources (e.g.,. natural gas or generators or ) and renewable generation sources (e.g. wind turbines and solar). [pdf]
