Distributed power technologies provide a critical link between energy and social development in the rapidly urbanizing world where more energy supplies are needed.
Distributed power is a method to improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of the existing power system.
The access to reliable energy sources and economic development has been proven, and it has important validation for distributed power technologies. Significant barriers exist to the development of transmission and distribution projects.
The barriers exist in both developed and developing economies. Distributed power technologies provide a means to leap frog these barriers and increase electricity reliability and availability.
Distributed power is a solution for rapid urbinazation benefiting communities, local people and businesses around the world. Distributed power provides a important solution to emerging nations by building industries and improving livelyhood.
Distributed power technology benefits:
- Distributed Power can be installed quickly, often in a matter of days or weeks compared to years for central power stations. Fast deployment is extremely useful in cases where there a shortage of energy and supply must ramp up quickly. Rapid build time is also useful when restoring power when natural disasters hit or when there is unreliable power systems.
- Distributed power technologies require less capital to acquire, build and operate. In regions where capital is limited, it is increasingly important to provide critical infrastructure such as electricity without having to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in capital to finance infrastructure projects.
- Distributed power technologies enable energy providers to match the level of demand with the level of supply and to increase supplies incrementally as needed. Centralized power stations require large capital investment and are available in sizes that are often not appropriate for the required level of supply. Decentralized distributed power is the path forward in many parts of the world today.
Distributed power technologies provide a local level of control, operations and main- tenance that is not possible with central power stations. This enables system owners and operators to monitor and customize distributed power solutions to meet their specific needs.
