Distributed Generation to Support Development-Focused Climate Action

Bridging Climate Change Resilience and Mitigation in the Electricity Sector Through Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency: Emerging Climate Change and Development Topics for Energy Sector Transformation

“…For example, countries with installed hydropower where peak loads tend to occur in the dry season may benefit from a more diversified electricity portfolio as highlighted in Box 2. Alternatively, countries with large rural populations, dispersed load centers, and few generation sources may improve system resiliency and reduce emissions through renewable-based islanded distributed generation (DG) systems that mitigate risks to vulnerable transmission infrastructure (Cox et. al.…”

“…A complementary white paper titled Distributed Generation to Support Development-focused Climate Action (Cox et al 2016) builds on the information in this paper to provide a more extensive presentation of DG's role in supporting climate resilience.…”

Comparison of Lithium-Ion Battery Models for Simulating Storage Systems in Distributed Power Generation

“…The key outcome is to limit global warming to less than 2 • C, at least 1.5 • C, compared to pre-industrial levels. In this context, grid-connected distributed power generation (DG) plays a crucial role in achieving this objective [4]. Architectures of DG can be found in a wide diversity of scenarios such as household applications, in supply systems of residential areas, or in microgrids.…”

“…Architectures of DG can be found in a wide diversity of scenarios such as household applications, in supply systems of residential areas, or in microgrids. The power range extends from a few kilowatts to several megawatts [4]. Depending on the installed capacity, the DG is connected either to the low-voltage or to the medium-voltage grid [4][5][6].…”

“…The power range extends from a few kilowatts to several megawatts [4]. Depending on the installed capacity, the DG is connected either to the low-voltage or to the medium-voltage grid [4][5][6]. In addition to the advantage of generating energy locally at the point of consumption, DG also enables the flexible integration of renewable energies such as wind, micro hydropower, and biomass, as well as photovoltaics.…”
