#  DG (Distributed Generation) 

 



Using small amounts of generation on a utility's distribution system to meet local (substation level) peak loads and/or to displace the need to build new or upgrade existing local distribution lines; newer technologies include fuel cells, wind power, solar cells, reciprocating engines and microturbines (also called distributed power); problems include lack of standardized interconnection requirements, permitting, siting and safety hazards for interconnection of large numbers of small generating units
