Distributed generation, also distributed energy, on-site generation (OSG), or district/decentralized energy, is electrical generation and storage performed by a variety of small, grid-connected or distribution system-connected devices referred to as distributed energy resources (DER). Conventional power stations, such as coal-fired, gas, and nuclear powered plant
The DOE Office of Electricity sponsored this report as part of a broader ongoing effort to advance market and operational coordination of distributed energy resources, especially their evolving
