Distributed Generation Can generate electricity at small scale Connected to the electricity grid at the customer
end Examples - PV arrays (solar panels), small wind
turbines, fuel cells May be installed at customer premises or
connected directly to the network
Distributed Storage Can store energy (rechargeable batteries) Connected to the electricity grid at the customer
end Have controllable charge and discharge ability May be installed at customer premises or within
the network
Related benefits, impacts and challenges = Energy Resource Management (ERM)

Battery runs out of charge, 48kWh used on this day and 15kWh between 2pm to 8pm
Photovoltaic systems• Mature technology• Long-term system performance?Small wind turbines• Mature technology, but high cost compared to PV• Not suitable in urban residential areas due to planning restrictions• More suitable in rural areas but restricted by local wind resourcesSolid Oxide Fuel cells• Still a maturing technology and multi-utility integration• Most suited to customers with high consumption• Most suited to areas with good utility services (gas, electricity, water)Zinc Bromide customer batteries• Still a maturing technology• Suitability depends on battery operation and characteristicsStandard control interfaces and battery operation• Standard control interfaces on Inverter Energy Systems still in early
stages of development
Technology Suitability & Maturity - Observations/Conclusions
32
High penetration of distributed generation (Solar PV)• Key issues are voltage impacts• Impacts determined by network characteristics (not just
penetration)• Rural (thin) networks more influenced by high penetrations
Network monitoring and smart grid• Network monitoring can assist in voltage management
(including meters and other devices)
Customer batteries• Batteries can potentially be used to alleviate voltage impacts• Effectiveness is highly dependent on operation and functions
Grid Performance and Impacts – Observations/ Conclusions
33
Photovoltaic systems• Current installations are driven by customer value resulting from
falling solar costs, government incentives and rising electricity prices• For networks, most DG can be considered “found resources”• Network value in reducing local peak demand is diminishedSmall wind turbines• Customer value is lower than similar sized PV system• Local wind resources harder to determineSolid Oxide Fuel Cells• Customer value is highly dependent on customer consumption• Better customer value obtained in regions with low gas pricesZinc bromide customer batteries• Customer value is highly dependent on load patterns, metering
configuration and battery operation and characteristics• Advanced battery functions allow greater customer benefits• Distributed batteries can potentially be used to reduce network peaks• Opportunities may exist for customer demand response incentives
Customer and Network Value – Observations/ Conclusions
