Distributed Energy Program
Program Areas
The Distributed Energy Program supports the development of the next generation of clean, efficient, reliable, and affordable distributed energy technologies and the integration of these technologies at end-user sites. The program works with small, modular power-generating technologies that can be combined with energy management and storage systems to improve the operation of the electricity delivery system.
Distributed Energy TechnologiesSmall-scale, modular technologies for on-site, grid-connected or stand-alone energy conversion and delivery. |
