Distributed Energy Resources and Their Impact on Power Distribution

Jane Mansoori

The landscape of power distribution is undergoing a profound transformation with the emergence of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Distributed energy resources encompass a wide range of small-scale, decentralized power generation and storage technologies, such as solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage, and combined heat and power systems. The integration of DERs into the power distribution grid is reshaping the way we generate, distribute, and consume electricity. This study explores the impact of DERs on power distribution systems and their potential benefits and challenges
